SENIOR HURLERS: Patrickswell overcame Ahane in the third match of the County Championship. Jordan Higgins gave the ‘Well a perfect start with a 2nd minute goal, before Tom Morrissey claimed Ahane’s first point. Further scores from John Kirby, Cian Fitzgerald and Cian Lynch allowed Patrickswell a 1-3 to 0-1 lead by the 10th minute. Tom Morrissey’s trio of frees trimmed our advantage to two points, but the ‘Well surged ahead with consecutive points from Aaron Gillane, Diarmaid Byrnes, Mark Carmody and Jordan Higgins. On the stroke of half-time, Ahane pulled a point back. The interval score was 1-7 to 0-5.

The initial ten minutes of the second half were keenly contested. Aaron Gillane scored a second Patrickswell goal and another point, while Ahane notched four points in reply. There were twenty minutes to play and we held a 2-8 to 0-9 advantage. Another point from Tom Morrissey narrowed the gap, but Patrickswell replied with two fresh points. By the 45th minute, the score was 2-10 to 0-10. The next five minutes were uncomfortable for the ‘Well as Ahane scored a goal and three points against our four points (Kevin O’Brien, Cian Lynch, Jack Kelleher and Aaron Gillane). With five minutes remaining, Patrickswell led by 2-14 to 1-13. Paddy Morrissey’s goal for Ahane blew the game wide open and set up the grandstand finale. Thankfully Kevin O’Brien and Aaron Gillane’s points saw Patrickswell safely home on a scoreline of 2-16 to 2-13.

SENIOR HURLERS: The Senior hurlers suffered defeat in their second Championship match against Doon. Pat Ryan scored the opening point for the East Men, before Aaron Gillane surprised Doon’s defence with a penalty goal when most spectators anticipated a point. The teams exchanged three points apiece (Diarmaid Byrnes, Jordan Higgins and John Kirby), so Patrickswell led by 1-3 to 0-4 after fifteen minutes. Doon’s first goal was followed by an immediate point, but John Kirby restored Patrickswell’s lead with a goal in the 17th minute. The ‘Well shaded the next five minutes, with points from Diarmaid Byrnes 0-2, Cian Lynch and John Kirby. By the 25th minute, Patrickswell were ahead by 2-7 to 1-7. Doon equalised with their second goal, but Patrickswell enjoyed a trio of points from Cian Fitzgerald, Aaron Gillane and Diarmaid Byrnes to reach the interval 2-10 to 2-7 ahead.

The pace of scoring at the start of the second half was slow. A brace of points from Aaron Gillane and a point from Cian Lynch kept Patrickswell 2-13 to 2-11 ahead by the 45th minute. Doon took the lead with three consecutive points in four minutes, but two long range drives from Mark Carmody restored the Patrickswell advantage. There were eight minutes left and the ‘Well led by 2-15 to 2-14. Unfortunately Doon were in the ascendancy and four points in seven minutes gave them a 2-18 to 2-15 lead on the cusp of injury time. Jordan Higgins notched a point as Patrickswell set themselves for a grand finale. Diarmaid Byrnes’ late free was smashed towards the Doon goal, but their congested ranks held out for a 2-18 to 2-16 win.

JUNIOR A HURLERS: Patrickswell suffered another setback in the Junior A championship against Askeaton. The opening five minutes were level pegging at 0-3 apiece (Darragh Ahern 0-2 and Thomas Nolan), before Eoin Harmon’s goal created some daylight. The next fifteen minutes were shaded by Askeaton, despite points from Darragh Ahern, Hugh Maher, Billy Earls and Conor Robinson. The scoreline on 20 minutes was now a narrow 1-7 to 0-9 lead for the ‘Well. Eoin Harmon and Cian Gorman restored the three-point lead, but Askeaton struck their first goal to equalise. Patrickswell dominated the closing stages of the half and Conor Robinson 0-2 with Eoin Harmon cemented a 1-13 to 1-10 lead at the break.

The second half began with an Askeaton onslaught, which yielded a goal and three points over eight minutes. Thomas Nolan’s goal was required to equalise at 2-13 apiece in the 40th minute. Askeaton took the lead by the 45th minute at 2-17 to 2-15. The game ended as a contest when Askeaton plundered a goal and two points in just three minutes. Eoin Harmon’s point stemmed the onslaught, but Patrickswell were now 3-19 to 2-16 adrift. The last ten minutes were tough for Patrickswell as five Askeaton points trumped Conor Robinson’s sole point. The final result was a 3-24 to 2-17 reverse.

SENIOR HURLERS: Patrickswell recorded a magnificent victory over holders Na Piarsaigh in the opening match of the County Championship. In rain soaked conditions, Na Piarsaigh scored a goal within thirty seconds. Diarmaid Byrnes responded with two points and Calvin Carroll nabbed a goal to put the ‘Well 1-3 to 1-1 ahead after just five minutes. The pace of scoring slowed dramatically over the next fifteen minutes. Na Piarsaigh struck four points, while Jordan Higgins and Aaron Gillane replied for Patrickswell. The scoreboard in the 20th minute read 1-5 apiece. The closing stages of the first half were cagey. Na Piarsaigh added three points, but Patrickswell stayed in contention with points from Cian Lynch and Aaron Gillane. The Light Blues led by 1-8 to 1-7 at the interval.

The second half began with Patrickswell reaching parity at 1-12 apiece by the 40th minute. Cian Fitzgerald, Thomas O’Brien, Aaron Gillane 0-2 and Diarmaid Byrnes were the scorers. Aaron Gillane smashed a stunning goal in the 45th minute, but Na Piarsaigh were unbowed and replied with a trio of consecutive points. There was great excitement for the last ten minutes, with a tied score of 2-12 to 1-15. The All-Ireland trio of Diarmaid Byrnes, Aaron Gillane and Cian Lynch gave Patrickswell a strong hand by the 58th minute. The Caherdavin men pushed hard, but their only score was a point. Patrickswell won this tense encounter by 2-15 to 1-16. Their next fixture is against Doon on Thursday August 10 at 7pm in Bruff. Tickets must be purchased in advance on universe.com.

JUNIOR A HURLERS: The Junior A hurlers were defeated by an impressive Kilteely Dromkeen side in their Championship opener. With 15 minutes gone, our opponents were 1-4 to 0-2 ahead. Patrickswell edged back into the contest with five points from Eoin Harmon 0-2, Billy Earls and Peter Harty 0-2. Unfortunately a second Kilteely Dromkeen goal was very damaging. After 25 minutes, we trailed by 2-5 to 0-7. John Kirby claimed two points before the half-time whistle to make the score 2-6 to 0-9.

At the start of the second half, Patrickswell stayed in contention when David Woulfe, Peter Harty 0-2 and Josh Carey secured points for a 2-11 to 0-13 deficit. Kilteely Dromkeen’s salvo of four unanswered points put the game beyond Patrickswell’s reach at 2-15 to 0-13. Eoin Harmon’s point was met with a closing barrage of two goals and four points. The final result was 4-19 to 0-14. The boys have a chance of immediate recovery when they face Askeaton in Adare on Sunday August 13 at 1pm. Tickets must be purchased in advance on universe.com.

UNDER 19 HURLERS: Patrickswell lost their opening match of the U-19 Championship away to Askeaton. The ‘Well started brightly and built a 1-4 to 0-4 lead within ten minutes (Dayle McDonagh goal, Billy Earls 0-3, Liam Fitzgerald). The hosts then dominated for a short spell to establish a 1-10 to 1-7 lead by the 20th minute. Patrickswell were now under pressure and trailed further by 2-13 to 1-9 at the break.

Dayle McDonagh scored his second goal at the start of the half. The teams were cancelling each other out, so Askeaton remained 2-17 to 2-10 ahead by the 38th minute. Any hopes of a recovery were dashed by five consecutive points in five minutes. The teams entered the final quarter at 2-22 to 2-10. The rate of scoring ebbed over the next ten minutes as Askeaton led by 2-25 to 2-13. Unfortunately for Patrickswell, the home team notched two goals and a point in the closing stages to cement a 4-26 to 2-13 win.

JUNIOR A HURLERS: Patrickswell were defeated by a strong Knockainey side in the County Intermediate Hurling League Final. It was a game of two halves, with the breeze having a major impact.

Kieran Long’s goal opened a nine-point lead after 15 minutes. Despite Knockainey scoring a goal, Patrickswell were still ahead by 1-7 to 1-2 after twenty minutes. Patrickswell increased the lead to 1-10 to 1-3 with points from Eoin Harmon, Cian O’Gorman and Darragh Ahern. Knockainey responded with a second goal and another point to trim the deficit to three points. Just before half-time, Eoin Harmon popped up with a brace of points to put Patrickswell 1-12 to 2-4 ahead.

Knockainey played with the breeze in the second half, with a devastating effect. The South Men rattled off eight consecutive points to take a three-point lead at 2-12 to 1-12. Peter Harty’s point halted the charge, but another goal and two points were conceded shortly after. There were ten minutes left and the ‘Well trailed by 3-14 to 1-13. Despite points from Gavin Carey and Peter Harty, Knockainey were 3-17 to 1-15 ahead with a few minutes left. Cian Enright’s late goal was a consolation. It had been a great League campaign overall, but Knockainey emerged as 3-17 to 2-15 winners.
