Josh Carey completed a mazy run with a neat finish to register a goal, while Calvin Carroll accrued four points and Shane Hannon two more points. There wasn’t another score for ten minutes before our opponents secured a point, but Seanie O’Brien, Calvin Carroll and Christy Carroll increased the advantage to 1-9 to 0-5. Unfortunately Ballybricken Bohermore rallied in the final stages of the first half and brought the interval score to 1-9 to 1-6.

In the opening stages of the second half, Patrickswell kept the opposition at bay with points from Calvin Carroll, Liam Fitzgerald and Christy Carroll. By the 40th minute, the lead was 1-12 to 1-10.

The second half began positively as Liam Fitzgerald’s second goal and points from Calvin Carroll & Peter Harty reduced our deficit at 1-14 to 2-10.
