8th November 2018
MINOR HURLERS: Patrickswell were defeated in the Minor County Final
against a strong Garryspillane team at the Gaelic Grounds. Jason Gillane gave
Patrickswell a dream start when he scored a rampaging goal after just fifty
seconds. The early shock seemed to rattle Garryspillane, but they recovered with
two consecutive points to narrow the deficit. Josh Considine’s point put the
‘Well ahead by 1-1 to 0-2, but the Bouncers drew level with another pair of
points. After fifteen minutes of play, the scoreboard was tied at 1-1 to 0-4.
Calvin Carroll and Adam Carrig added fresh points to give Patrickswell another
two-point lead; however the game turned sharply when Garryspillane struck a goal
and two points to hit the front after 25 minutes. The ‘Well were now trailing by
1-6 to 1-3. The last few minutes of the first half were closely fought as Calvin
Carroll’s point was immediately cancelled out. When the referee blew his whistle
for half-time, we were still in contention at 1-7 to 1-4 behind.
The opening score of the second half was a point from Cormac Kerins. As the
‘Well tried to overhaul the margin, Garryspillane shut the door with two
consecutive points. The scoreline was 1-9 to 1-5 before Calvin Carroll produced
two points to trim the arrears to 1-9 to 1-7. The spectators were on the edge of
their seats as every ball became fiercely contested. Unfortunately for John
O’Donnell’s boys, Garryspillane produced three straight points to build a robust
five-point lead at 1-12 to 1-7. The clock was running down at this stage.
Despite two more points from Calvin Carroll, the Bouncers responded in kind. The
full sixty minutes had been played and Garryspillane led by 1-14 to 1-9. The
linesman indicated three minutes of injury time and the ‘Well dropped in short
balls to force a goal. Our opponents held firm and the sole reward was a point
from Jason Gillane. At the final whistle, Garryspillane were the 1-14 to 1-10
victors. Hard luck to the players and management for coming so close during an
excellent season.
HURLER OF THE YEAR: Congratulations to Cian Lynch, who was awarded GAA
Hurler of the Year at the Convention Centre in Dublin. The award was richly
deserved for his marvellous contribution to Limerick’s All-Ireland campaign. In

great season for the younger players.
The day started with a Fundamental Frame Challenge Demonstration with Willie
Walsh for U-14 and U-12 boys and girls. The frame places sliotars at various
heights for players to strike.
Afterwards, a lone piper led our U-14 Camogie Champions and all the children
taking part in the Parish League. It was a great morning of hurling for the
children as they had the chance to showcase their talents to parents. The day
ended with a raffle and a presentation to all children. The winning team were
the Cheetahs, captained by Liam McGrath and Caoimhe Hennessy.
Many thanks to the family of Jacob Fitzgerald for donating the equipment and

18th October 2018
SENIOR HURLERS: Patrickswell suffered a cruel late defeat to Doon in the
Senior Championship semi-final at the Gaelic Grounds. Calvin Carroll and Cian
Lynch scored early points as the 'Well made a positive start. However, Doon
replied with a close-range goal to stem the tide. Diarmaid Byrnes and Aaron
Gillane added their names to the scoresheet to put Patrickswell ahead by 0-4 to
1-0 after ten minutes. The middle of the first half was dominated by Gary
Kirby's men with three unanswered points. With a quarter of the match played,
Patrickswell led by 0-7 to 1-1. Young Calvin Carroll was in sparkling form and
he was rewarded with two excellent long-range points. The game was keenly
contested and Doon always stayed in contention. At the twenty minute marker, the
'Well led by 0-10 to 1-5. Over the next few minutes, Aaron Gillane and Calvin
Carroll fired over points to maintain Patrickswell's lead. Unfortunately Doon
dominated the last five minutes and they plundered a goal and four points
without reply. The complexion of the match had changed significantly as the East
Men now held a 2-10 to 0-12 lead. Aaron Gillane snatched the final point of the
first half to keep the teams one goal apart.
The second half began with Patrickswell being kept at arm's length by Doon. Four
points from Calvin Carroll, Diarmaid Byrnes, Tom O'Brien and Aaron Gillane were
cancelled out by Doon to keep their three-point advantage at 2-14 to 0-17. There
was another exchange of two points apiece as Patrickswell entered the last five
minutes at one goal behind. The response was dramatic. Our All-Ireland trio of
Aaron Gillane, Cian Lynch and Diarmaid Byrnes stunned Doon with three late
points to equalise at 0-22 to 2-16. The referee indicated three minutes of
stoppage time and every breaking ball was critical. The match was destined for a
grandstand finale. Doon made the decisive breakthrough by scoring a point with
fifty seconds left. The 'Well could not muster an equaliser and Doon scraped
through by a solitary point on a scoreline of 0-22 to 2-17. Hard luck to the
players and management.
PARISH LEAGUE: The traditional end-of-season Parish League takes place on
Sunday October 21 at 11.30am. It's a great chance for our young players to

year. The tickets will be available to buy in the next few days and right up to
the Parish League. They are available from Tony O'Briens Pharmacy, McDermotts
Gala and Klassy Cuts for €5. The prizes are a 32" Smart TV, a 7" tablet and a
€100 voucher for Patrickswell Club Gear.
11th October 2018
SENIOR HURLERS: Patrickswell overcame South Liberties in the County
Championship quarter-final at the Gaelic Grounds. The opening quarter was keenly
contested as Patrickswell opened a narrow 0-6 to 0-5 lead. In the latter stages
of the opening half, the 'Well's class began to show as we pulled away by 1-13
to 0-9 at the interval.
The second half commenced with a purple patch from Gary Kirby's men. Seven
unanswered points were added to the scoreboard within fifteen minutes.
Patrickswell were now 14 points ahead at 1-20 to 0-9. South Liberties edged back
into the contest, but the final result was 1-26 to 1-13. The semi-final against
Doon is next Sunday October 14 at 2pm.
JUNIOR A HURLERS: The Junior A hurlers were eliminated from the County
Championship after suffering their first defeat of the season. The opposition
was a strong Killeedy team that were a dominant force. Patrickswell trailed by
ten points at half-time with the scoreline at 1-12 to 0-5. The second half was
extremely close, but the 'Well could not reduce the margin. The final result was
1-18 to 0-11. It has been a great season that yielded three trophies. Hard luck
to the players and management.
PARISH LEAGUE: The traditional finale to the boys' and girls' season has
been scheduled for Sunday October 21 at 11.30am. It gives the young players a

SENIOR HURLERS: Patrickswell face South Liberties in the County
Championship quarter-final on Sunday October 7 at 3.45pm in the Gaelic Grounds.
Please support the players.
MINOR HURLERS: Our young hurlers produced a remarkable comeback to beat
Na Piarsaigh in the Premier Minor Championship semi-final in Rathkeale. The
first half began in a very competitive manner. Josh Considine, Calvin Carroll,
John Kirby and Patrick Kirby scored Patrickswell’s early points. The teams were
level at 0-4 apiece after fifteen minutes. Fresh points from Jason Gillane and
Calvin Carroll established a narrow 0-6 to 0-4 advantage, but the ‘Well were
pinned back by one goal and a point from the Caherdavin boys. Our players
responded strongly with a barrage of three points before the interval and
reached the dressing room at 0-9 to 1-5 ahead.
The second half began in worrying fashion for Patrickswell. Na Piarsaigh went on
the attack and exploited their possession. By the midpoint of the second half,
our opponents had scored seven points in contrast to Patrickswell’s two points.
The Light Blues held a commanding 1-12 to 0-11 lead as the match entered its
final quarter. Thankfully there was a response from John O’Donnell’s charges as
Calvin Carroll (0-2) and Jason Gillane slashed the deficit to a solitary point
at 1-12 to 0-14. When Na Piarsaigh increased their lead to two points, it
appeared that Patrickswell would struggle to catch them. Remarkably, the game
was blown wide open when Jason Gillane equalised with two points and Josh
Considine shocked Na Piarsaigh with a low drive into the net. The ‘Well were now
leading by 1-16 to 1-13 as the clock ran down to five minutes. Na Piarsaigh
pushed forward and scored another point; however their hopes were dashed by late
points from Clive Kirby and Cormac Kerins. Patrickswell claimed a famous 1-18 to
1-14 victory and set up a Championship Final against Garryspillane. Well done to
the players and management.
JUNIOR A HURLERS: Patrickswell meet Killeedy in the County Championship
semi-final in Ballyagran on Saturday October 6 at 2.15pm.
27th September
2018
SENIOR HURLERS: Patrickswell suffered a disappointing defeat to Na
Piarsaigh in the final group match of the County Championship. The Caherdavin
team made a lightning start and opened a 1-2 to 0-0 lead after just three
minutes. Eventually Patrickswell crept into the match and began to take their
points. After fifteen minutes, the scoreboard displayed a deficit of 1-6 to 0-4.
Unfortunately, there was no reduction in Na Piarsaigh's pressure. Six
consecutive points established an eleven-point deficit of 1-12 to 0-4 after 25
minutes. Diarmaid Byrnes and Cian Lynch managed to contribute points before
half-time. The margin was trimmed to 1-12 to 0-6 at the interval. Patrickswell
faced an uphill battle to salvage the match.
The second half began in low scoring fashion. Aaron Gillane struck the first
point after seven minutes of action, but Na Piarsaigh replied quickly. Peter
Harty and Cian Lynch cut the lead to seven points at 1-13 to 0-9, but this was
the closest that Patrickswell would come. The Light Blues produced a devastating
spell of six unanswered points to seal the match. There were five minutes on the
stadium clock and the 'Well trailed by 1-20 to 0-10. Aaron Gillane fired a
superb goal from a free and the final score was a 1-21 to 1-11 defeat. Gary
Kirby's men must turn their attention to a quarter-final against South Liberties
in early October.
MINOR HURLERS: Patrickswell face Na Piarsaigh in the County Championship
semi-final on Tuesday September 25 at 6.45pm in Rathkeale.

13th September
2018
SENIOR HURLERS: Patrickswell were defeated by Kilmallock in the fourth
group match of the County Championship. The Balbec asserted their dominance in
the opening ten minutes as they raced into a 0-6 to 0-0 lead. The 'Well crept
back into the contest when Cian Lynch struck our first point and Aaron Gillane
followed up with another point. Within a few minutes, Aaron Gillane hit the back
of the net and reduced the deficit to a single point at 0-6 to 1-2. Kilmallock
increased their tempo and claimed an unanswered goal and two points to cement a
1-8 to 1-2 advantage after twenty minutes. The closing stages of the first half
were shaded by the 'Well and the arrears were reduced to 1-10 to 1-6 before the
interval.
Patrickswell needed a strong beginning to the second half; however Kilmallock
fired over three consecutive points to generate a seven-point lead at 1-13 to
1-6. The teams traded four points apiece as Gary Kirby's men battled to close
the gap. At the midpoint of the second half, Kilmallock were 1-16 to 1-10 ahead.
Patrickswell needed to find a higher gear, but our opponents killed off the
challenge with three straight points to establish an unassailable 1-19 to 1-10
lead with five minutes left. The last few minutes were evenly balanced and the
match ended with a 1-22 to 1-12 defeat. The weekend's other results mean that
Patrickswell have reached the quarter-final. The last group stage match is
against Na Piarsaigh in a fortnight.
JUNIOR A HURLERS: The Junior A Hurlers are scheduled to play a County
Championship quarter-final on Sunday September 16.
6th September 2018
SENIOR HURLERS: Our Senior hurlers returned to Championship action
against Ballybrown after a lengthy three-month break. The parish neighbours were
inseparable in the opening ten minutes as both sides amassed four points apiece.
The Patrickswell scorers were Aaron Gillane, Cian Lynch, Josh Considine and
Calvin Carroll. Peter Harty’s goal was a significant moment in the match and
helped the ‘Well carve out a 1-6 to 0-4 lead after twenty minutes. However,
Ballybrown mustered a goal and another point to slash the deficit to 1-6 to 1-5.
Patrickswell increased their tempo and finished the first half with two points
from Aaron Gillane and a point from Kevin O’Brien. The half-time score was 1-9
to 1-6 in favour of Gary Kirby’s men.
The second half began with a period of relative dominance from the ‘Well. The
All-Ireland attacking duo of Aaron Gillane and Cian Lynch produced two points
each as Patrickswell built a 1-15 to 1-9 buffer on forty minutes. Ballybrown
tried their hardest to edge closer, yet Patrickswell were able to match their
scoring rate. Aaron Gillane (0-2) and Diarmaid Byrnes (0-1) established a 1-19
to 1-12 lead with five minutes remaining. Our neighbours reduced the arrears to
five points when they scored a goal in the last minute of normal time. Their
search for a late comeback was in vain as Patrickswell won by 1-20 to 2-12.
Congratulations to the players and management. It’s a hectic month with two more
group matches against Kilmallock and Na Piarsaigh.
MINOR HURLERS: Our Minor hurlers will meet Garryspillane in a playoff to
decide first and second place in the group. The match takes place in
Caherconlish on Tuesday September 4 at 6.30pm.
30th August 2018
LIAM MCCARTHY CUP HOMECOMING: There was a large crowd in attendance as
Patrickswell welcomed the Liam McCarthy Cup, Cian, Diarmaid, Aaron and a
selection of Limerick's players. Sinead O'Brien performed songs on the night,
while Matt O'Callaghan was the popular MC and DJ Mickey Mac kept the crowd
entertained. Afterwards, the players signed autographs and posed for photographs
with hundreds of children and adults. Pictures with the Liam McCarthy Cup also
generated huge interest.
JUNIOR A HURLERS: The Junior A hurlers claimed their third trophy of the
season as they edged past Ballybrown in the City Championship Final.
Patrickswell made a positive start and scored the opening two points from Calvin
and Andrew Carroll. Ballybrown's first point was then countered by a Brian
Fitzgerald goal. The score after ten minutes was 1-2 to 0-1. Ballybrown
increased their tempo and were rewarded with three unanswered points. The 'Well
stopped the revival through points from Calvin Carroll (0-2) and Paul O'Brien.
Approaching half-time, Nigel Carey's men were 1-5 to 0-4 ahead. However, our
neighbours fought back and trimmed the lead to 1-5 to 0-7. Calvin Carroll scored
the final point of the first half to establish a two-point margin of 1-6 to 0-7.
The second half began with an exchange of two points apiece. Tom Nolan and
Calvin Carroll were the Patrickswell scorers as the scoreline changed to 1-8 to
0-9. Ballybrown notched another point to move within a single score again. The
'Well were in no mood to surrender the lead and shocked Ballybrown with a salvo
of three goals and a point within ten minutes. Paul O'Brien started the
onslaught with a fine goal, Andrew Carroll struck a point and Calvin Carroll
starred with two quick-fire goals. The advantage after fifty minutes was a
commanding ten points at 4-9 to 0-11. To their immense credit, Ballybrown
refused to lie down. The Clarina men plundered 2-1 in just a few minutes to trim
the deficit to four points at 4-10 to 2-12. The spectators were set for a
grandstand finale in the last five minutes. Ballybrown's point moved them with
striking distance, but Patrickswell responded immediately. Once again,
Ballybrown raised the white flag to reach injury time at 4-11 to 2-14. Their
search for an equalising goal was thwarted as Patrickswell held firm. Garry
Murphy accepted the trophy on behalf of the team and thanked our opponents for
accommodating the postponement.

SENIOR HURLERS: Patrickswell clinched the City Senior Hurling
Championship after a narrow win against Ballybrown. Our neighbours made a bright
start and secured two points in the opening five minutes. Jason Gillane
registered the 'Well's first point and started a period of dominance. Over the
space of fifteen minutes, Patrickswell notched seven points from Peter Harty
(0-2), Josh Considine, Calvin Carroll, Kevin O'Brien, Jason Gillane and Lar
Considine. The scoreboard on 20 minutes displayed a 0-8 to 0-4 advantage to Gary
Kirby's men. Ballybrown stemmed the tide with a fresh point, but Lar Considine,
Jack Kelleher, Peter Harty and Seanie O'Brien extended the lead to 0-12 to 0-6
after 25 minutes. The Clarina men recovered with a trio of consecutive points
just before the half-time whistle. Fortunately, Jack Kelleher popped up with a
point to put Patrickswell 0-13 to 0-10 ahead at the interval.
The second half began with an exchange of two points apiece within five minutes.
There was a very competitive edge to the fixture as Ballybrown drew level with
three straight points at 0-15 apiece. Patrickswell countered with two Peter
Harty points, after which Ballybrown struck another point. There were ten
minutes left and the 'Well held the narrowest lead of 0-17 to 0-16. Seanie
O'Brien and Peter Harty fired over additional points as the pendulum swung in
Patrickswell's favour. Ballybrown showed great resilience and secured two points
to trail by 0-19 to 0-18. There was a huge sigh of relief as a late Ballybrown
chance sailed narrowly wide. Patrickswell had won the City Championship and
James Mann collected the trophy.
INTERCOUNTY HURLERS: The club was thrilled by Limerick's All-Ireland
Championship win against Kilkenny in Thurles. We are very proud of the

12th July 2018
JUNIOR A HURLERS: It was a remarkable week for the Junior A Hurlers as
they won the County League trophy and maintained their 100% record in the City
Championship in dramatic fashion.
The first fixture of the week was a stunning comeback win against neighbours
Ballybrown in the City Championship. Our parish rivals started at a high tempo
and were rewarded with a 2-4 to 0-1 lead after just ten minutes. Patrickswell
were unfamiliar with such large deficits and struggled to cope with the Clarina
men. David Woulfe's two points managed to narrow the gap, but Ballybrown's third
goal put them in the ascendancy. At half-time, Ballybrown held a twelve-point
lead of 3-8 to 0-5. It was the biggest challenge faced by our Junior A hurlers
this season.
The second half started with a Patrickswell blitz. Paul O'Brien and Jason
Gillane began to exert their influence and Ballybrown were forced onto the back
foot. The 'Well accumulated a large haul of 2-5 before Ballybrown managed to
register another point. After 50 minutes, Ballybrown's lead had been slashed to
two points at 3-9 to 2-10. The tide had swung in favour of Nigel Carey's men.
Jason Gillane's decisive goal put the 'Well ahead for the very first time at
3-11 to 3-9. By the full-time whistle, three insurance points had been added to
cement a fine 3-14 to 3-10 victory. Our defence had limited Ballybrown to just
two points in the entire second half.
Two days later, the Junior A hurlers claimed the County League crown with an
emphatic win against Adare. While Adare scored the first point of the match,
Patrickswell responded with 1-5 without reply. The scores were shared between
Paul O'Brien's goal and points from Andrew Carroll, Johnny McMahon, Jamie
Dillon, Jason Gillane and David Woulfe. Adare managed to slow down the rate of
scoring; however Patrickswell held a strong 1-10 to 0-4 lead at half-time.
The second half was again dominated by Patrickswell. Calvin Carroll scored a
mesmerising solo goal and his team-mates chipped in seven more points. Adare
produced only three points in the second half. Gary Murphy was presented with
the County League trophy after a 2-17 to 0-7 triumph. Well done to the players
and management. The next scheduled match is on Saturday 14 July against Monaleen
in Rathbane at 7pm.
SENIOR HURLERS: On Thursday July 12, Patrickswell are scheduled to play
Ballybrown in the City Championship Final in Mungret at 7pm.
INTERCOUNTY HURLERS: Congratulation to Limerick for beating Carlow in the
All-Ireland Hurling Championship preliminary quarter-final. Best wishes in the
full quarter-final against Kilkenny.
5th July 2018
SENIOR HURLERS: In the City Championship semi-final replay against
Monaleen, Patrickswell made no mistake with a crushing win of 7-17 to 1-7. The
replay was in marked contrast to the highly competitive original draw.
The game was played in baking heat and it was the ‘Well that were in scorching
form. Within the first five minutes, Darragh Ahern and Peter Harty scored goals
to put Monaleen on the back foot. The intense pressure continued as Patrickswell
notched 3-7 without reply in the first quarter of an hour. Lar Considine was in
prolific form as he fired over four consecutive points. When Monaleen snatched a
goal, Patrickswell simply replied with a fourth goal. The half-time scoreboard
in Clarina reflected the one-way traffic at 4-11 to 1-4. There was little doubt
of the outcome.
The management allowed no drop in standards in the second half as the ’Well
continued the onslaught. Andrew Carroll scored a fifth goal, before Peter Harty
added a sixth goal. There were also points from Seanie O’Brien, Darragh Ahern,
Calvin Carroll and David Woulfe. The icing on the cake was a late seventh goal
for Seanie O’Brien to cap a magnificent 7-17 to 1-7 win.
In the All County Hurling League match against Adare, the ’Well battled hard
against their neighbours, but succumbed to a 3-16 to 2-16 defeat. Patrickswell
have now played all their fixtures and sit joint top of the table; albeit other
clubs have games in hand to reach the Top Two.
JUNIOR A HURLERS: The City Championship continues in Rathbane on Monday
July 2 at 7.30pm against Ballybrown.
INTERCOUNTY HURLING: Best wishes to Limerick in their preliminary All

28th June 2018
SENIOR HURLERS: Patrickswell suffered defeat in the All County Hurling
League against Doon. With a stiff breeze at their backs, the 'Well made a bright
opening and raced into a 0-3 to 0-0 lead after five minutes. Doon scored their
opening point to register on the scoreboard; however Aaron Gillane's goal built
a 1-4 to 0-2 margin after ten minutes. The middle stages of the first half were
controlled by Doon and they were rewarded with five points against the wind.
With twenty minutes on the clock, Patrickswell held a narrow 1-5 to 0-7
advantage. Lar Considine sparked a revival as the 'Well fired off five
additional points to reach the interval at 1-10 to 0-8 ahead.
The second half was characterised by Doon taking full benefit of the breeze. The
East Men wreaked havoc with their long, high ball. In the space of five minutes,
Patrickswell conceded a damaging 2-3 and trailed by 2-11 to 1-11. Darragh Ahern
and Lar Considine ended the Doon surge and closed the deficit to a single point
at 2-11 to 1-13. Once again, our opponents found the back of the net and scored
another fresh point. The game had turned to Doon and they led by 3-12 to 1-13.
Calvin Carroll scored a goal to put the 'Well back into the reckoning.
Unfortunately, Doon plundered a fourth goal to cement a 4-12 to 2-13 lead with
ten minutes left. To their credit, the Patrickswell midfielders and forwards
sparked a revival with six points in five minutes. The deficit was down to a
single point at 4-14 to 2-19 with five minutes on the clock. As Gary Kirby's men
pushed for an equaliser, Doon tacked on some insurance points to win a superb
game by 4-17 to 2-20.
On Tuesday June 26, the Senior hurlers face Monaleen in the City Championship
semi-final replay in Clarina at 7.30pm. On Saturday June 30, we are scheduled to
visit Adare at 7.30pm in the All County Hurling League.

receiving a walkover from Adare.
21st June 2018
SENIOR HURLERS: Patrickswell remained top of the All County Hurling
League after a three-goal win over Na Piarsaigh. The opening ten minutes were
delicately balanced as both teams registered three points each. Tom O'Brien
pushed the 'Well into the lead with a fine goal, but the Caherdavin side stayed
in contention at 1-4 to 0-6 after fifteen minutes. The match swung decisively in
Patrickswell's favour as our midfielders and forwards produced 1-5 without reply
in a devastating ten-minute spell. At the interval, Gary Kirby's men were ahead
by eight points at 2-11 to 0-9.
The second half produced an early fightback by Na Piarsaigh. At one stage, they
produced seven consecutive points to slash their deficit to two points at 2-13
to 0-17. Patrickswell were forced to respond through successive points from Lar
Considine, Mark Carmody and Peter Harty (0-2). Once again, the 'Well had opened
a comfortable advantage at 2-17 to 0-17 after fifty minutes. David Woulfe made a
telling impact when his late goal clinched the game. The final result was 3-20
to 0-20. The next scheduled All County Hurling League match is Tuesday June 19
at 7.30pm in Patrickswell versus Doon.
JUNIOR A HURLERS: Patrickswell maintained their 100% record in the City
Championship after a tough win over Na Piarsaigh. While Na Piarsaigh struck the
opening point of the match, Patrickswell took charge and roared into a 0-7 to
0-1 lead within ten minutes. Our opponents managed to halt the onslaught with a
couple of points; however the 'Well notched another five straight points to lead
by 0-12 to 0-5 by half-time.
Calvin Carroll's early second half goal opened up a ten point lead at 1-12 to
0-5 and the result seemed beyond doubt. Na Piarsaigh cancelled out the goal by
notching three consecutive points, but Patrickswell tacked on two more points.
After 45 minutes, the 'Well led handsomely by 1-14 to 0-8. The Light Blues
stepped up the pressure and were rewarded with two goals and two points in a
ten-minute burst. Patrickswell were under pressure in the closing few minutes.
Our lead had been eroded to three points at 1-16 to 2-10. The win appeared to be
finally cemented with two insurance points; however Na Piarsaigh struck a third
goal to set up a grandstand finale at 1-18 (21) to 3-10 (19). In the dying
seconds, our opponents were pressing for the equalising goal. The 'Well broke
forward and Jason Gillane ended their stubborn resistance with the last point of
the match. The final result was a 1-19 to 3-10 triumph.
INTERCOUNTY HURLERS: Hard luck to the Limerick hurlers, who lost to a
strong Clare team in the Munster Championship. Best of luck to the team in the

host Na Piarsaigh at 7.30pm.
JUNIOR A HURLERS: It was a busy week for the Junior A hurlers as they
battled in two competitions. In the County League semi-final, Patrickswell were
pitted against a strong Doon team. It was a very tough and physical match, but
Nigel Carey's men prevailed by 2-16 to 2-11. The victory sets up a
mouth-watering League final between the winners of Adare and Kilmallock. After
48 hours' recuperation, Patrickswell faced Old Christians in the City
Championship. Paul O'Brien's early goal and Owen McNamara's point gave the 'Well
a perfect start at 1-1 to 0-0. Old Christians eventually settled and they
equalised with a flurry of four unanswered points. After fifteen minutes of
play, Patrickswell held a narrow 1-4 to 0-5 advantage when Jason Gillane (0-2)
and Owen McNamara contributed fresh points. Our opponents surged forward again
and rattled over four consecutive points to lead by 0-9 to 1-4. David Woulfe's
point just before the half-time whistle meant that Patrickswell trailed by one
point at 0-9 to 1-5.
The second half opened with high intensity from both teams. After forty minutes,
the scoreboard displayed level scores at 1-8 to 0-11. Thankfully, Patrickswell
seemed to have superior fitness and began to dominate the possession and
chances. Andrew Carroll was in sparkling form and orchestrated a ten-minute
spell where the 'Well outscored Old Christians by seven points to one point.
There were five minutes left and Patrickswell were now buoyant at 1-15 to 0-12.
Paul O'Brien managed to close the match with a second goal and Jason Gillane's
insurance point delivered a superb 2-16 to 0-12 win. The record stands at 100%
with three wins secured. The next scheduled match is on Friday June 15 at 7.30pm
against Na Piarsaigh in Claughaun.
INTERCOUNTY HURLING: Congratulations to Limerick for producing a stunning
performance to beat Waterford in the Munster Championship. The club is very
proud of Cian, Diarmaid and Aaron. Best wishes for the trip to Clare. We're
confident that Limerick can cement their place in the Munster final.
7th June 2018
SENIOR HURLERS: Patrickswell and Monaleen played out an exciting draw in
the City Championship semi-final. The 'Well made a bright start and scored the
opening two points of the match. However Monaleen responded quickly to equalise.
With just five minutes on the clock, Patrickswell notched a close-range goal.
The advantage was short-lived as Monaleen raised the green flag almost
immediately to restore parity at 1-2 to 1-2. The middle portion of the first
half was edged by Monaleen as our opponents established a 1-7 to 1-4 lead.
Thankfully, Patrickswell stemmed the tide and notched four consecutive points to
overturn the deficit at 1-8 to 1-7. The latter stages of the first half produced
another purple patch from Monaleen as they reached the interval at 1-13 to 1-9
ahead.
The second half started with continued pressure from Monaleen. They were able to
outpoint Gary Kirby's men and built a 1-17 to 1-11 buffer with twenty minutes
left. Patrickswell kept their composure and roared back into the game when
Padraig Maher struck our second goal to trim the arrears at 1-17 to 2-11. The
sides traded three additional points and Monaleen were battling hard to retain a
1-20 to 2-14 margin with five minutes left. The 'Well pressed forward to save
the match and finally drew level at 3-14 to 1-20 when Peter Harty claimed a
decisive third goal. Thomas O'Brien produced a late point to put Patrickswell
into the lead; however Monaleen scored the final point to earn a replay. The
final score was 3-15 to 1-21 and a fair reflection on both teams.
JUNIOR A HURLERS: Patrickswell maintained their 100% record in the City
Championship with a convincing win over Mungret. The opening ten minutes were
finely balanced as the teams were locked at 0-3 apiece. As the first half ticked
by, Patrickswell began to dominate possession and scored with increasing
frequency. Jason Gillane showed great accuracy from distance and led
Patrickswell to a 0-9 to 0-6 advantage with five minutes remaining in the half.
The margin was extended to six points by half-time as Calvin Carroll, Jason
Gillane and Paul O'Brien ensured a 0-12 to 0-6 lead.
The second half display from Patrickswell showed a high level of fitness and
skill. Six consecutive points from Owen McNamara (0-2), Jason Gillane (0-2) and
Paul O'Brien (0-2) pushed the 'Well into an unassailable 0-18 to 0-8 advantage.
There was no reduction in commitment levels as Jason Gillane added a sequence of
points and Paul O'Brien delivered a well-deserved goal. The scoreline was 1-24
to 0-11 when Mungret snatched a consolation goal at the death. The final result
was a comprehensive 1-26 to 1-12 victory for Nigel Carey's team.
INTERCOUNTY HURLERS: Congratulations to Limerick's senior hurlers for
salvaging a superb draw against Cork in the Munster Championship. The club are
delighted to have Diarmaid, Cian and Aaron as club representatives on the County
team. Well done to Patrick Kirby and Limerick's Minor hurlers after their superb
win against Cork.
STATE EXAMINATIONS: Best wishes to every club member who is starting

31st May 2018
JUNIOR A HURLERS: The Junior A hurlers collected their first piece of
silverware by winning the City League final against Crecora. The 'Well were on
the back foot after fifteen minutes as Crecora built a 0-6 to 0-4 advantage.
From that point onwards, Patrickswell began to gain the upper hand. Jason
Gillane struck a trio of points to close the deficit to 0-8 versus 0-7. In the
last minute of the first half, Jamie Dillon's speculative long-range shot was
fumbled by the goalkeeper and Patrickswell led by 1-7 to 0-8 at the interval.
The second half was completely dominated by Patrickswell. Within ten minutes of
the restart, there was a flurry of points from Jason Gillane, Owen McNamara and
Cillian O'Reilly. The margin grew to six points at 1-13 to 0-10 and the 'Well
never looked back. In the closing stages, there was great shooting accuracy as
Nigel Carey's team racked up another eight points. The final result was 1-21 to
0-12. Gary Murphy accepted the City League trophy that was retained from last
year.
This match also counted as the opening fixture of the City Championship. The
next fixture is scheduled for Friday June 1 at 7pm against Mungret in Crecora.

3-3 to 0-5.
The second half followed the same trend as Patrickswell controlled the
possession and didn't allow Na Piarsaigh to creep back into the match. The final
result was 4-9 to 0-7 for the 'Well. The final is scheduled for Saturday May 19.

SENIOR HURLERS: The Senior Hurlers suffered defeat in the second match of
the County Championship against Doon. The 'Well started strongly and built an
early 0-3 to 0-1 advantage when Aaron Gillane registered two points. The East
Men established themselves in the match and were rewarded with a goal to lead by
1-7 to 0-5 after fifteen minutes. The remainder of the first half was keenly
contested as Doon reached the interval at 1-11 to 0-8 ahead.
The second half began with a resurgence from Patrickswell. Young Josh Considine
fired a goal in the 40th minute to erode the deficit. With fifteen minutes left,
the scoreline was Doon 1-13 and Patrickswell 1-12. The game was hanging in the
balance. Unfortunately, this was our closest moment and Doon hung on for a 1-20
to 1-17 victory. Hard luck to the team and management.

with a fine 1-17 to 0-13 win over neighbours Crecora.
26th April 2018
SENIOR HURLERS: Patrickswell made a perfect start to the County
Championship after a comprehensive victory over neighbours Adare. Aaron Gillane
registered the first point of the match, before Adare quickly equalised. The
'Well put their stamp on the game when Aaron Gillane's goal was followed up with
three additional points. After ten minutes, Patrickswell were comfortably 1-4 to
0-1 ahead. There was an exchange of three points apiece in the middle of the
first half to bring the score to 1-7 to 0-4. Seanie O'Brien notched a second
goal that lifted the 'Well to a 2-8 to 0-4 advantage at the interval.
The second half started with a period of Patrickswell dominance. Five unanswered
points put Gary Kirby's men fifteen points clear at 2-13 to 0-4. Adare stemmed
the tide for a while; however Seanie O'Brien soon claimed his second goal.
Entering the last quarter of the match, the 'Well led by 3-17 to 0-10. There was
a minor sense of alarm when Adare struck three goals in five minutes to slash
the deficit to eight points at 3-18 to 3-10. The fightback was ended when
Patrickswell steadied themselves and rattled off six consecutive points to
triumph by 3-24 to 3-10. The next Championship match is on Sunday April 29 at
2pm against Doon in Kilmallock.
MINOR HURLERS: The Minor hurlers made an emphatic start to the
Championship after cruising past Adare. The opening ten minutes were closely
fought, with the sides inseparable at 0-5 to 1-2. From that moment onwards,
Patrickswell blitzed their neighbours with a scintillating performance that
yielded five goals. By half-time, Patrickswell were sixteen points clear at 5-7
to 1-3.
There was no slowdown at the start of the second half. Patrickswell rattled off
five points to build a huge 5-12 to 1-3 margin with twenty minutes left. At that
point, Adare managed to stifle the attacks and the game closed with a 5-17 to
2-6 win for John O'Donnell's boys.

City League on Saturday April 28 at 7pm.
19th April 2018

superb volleyed goal from a high ball after five minutes. The remainder of the
half was very competitive and the teams reached half-time level at 1-3 to 0-6.
The second half began in attacking fashion as a Mungret goal gave our opponents
a 1-7 to 1-4 lead. Patrickswell responded almost immediately and scored a second
goal to restore parity at 2-5 to 1-8. As the light faded and Mungret tired, the
'Well launched a final ten-minute onslaught that yielded 1-7 without a reply.
This purple patch put some gloss on a tough match. Patrickswell ran out the 3-12
to 1-8 winners.
SENIOR HURLERS: All roads lead to the Gaelic Grounds as Patrickswell meet

29th March 2018
SENIOR HURLERS: The Senior Hurlers suffered defeat to parish neighbours
Ballybrown in the All County Hurling League. Ballybrown had the better start and
took a 0-3 to 0-1 lead after ten minutes. The 'Well enjoyed a purple patch that
produced six consecutive points and raced into a 0-7 to 0-3 advantage.
Unfortunately Ballybrown took charge of the match with three goals in a
devastating ten-minute spell. At the half-time whistle, the Clarina men led by
3-5 to 0-8.
The second half was relatively tight, although Patrickswell were unable to erode
their neighbours' big margin. A fourth Ballybrown goal effectively sealed the
result. At the final whistle, Ballybrown had triumphed by 4-11 to 0-16.
UNDER 21 HURLERS: There was great disappointment as the U-21 hurlers
bowed out of the County Championship after losing to Adare. The match started
favourably as Patrickswell opened up a three-point lead at 0-3 to 0-0. Adare
were able to fight back and they went ahead with a goal and a point. For ten
minutes, Adare were dominant and built a 1-4 to 0-5 buffer. Patrickswell knew
that they needed to win the match and closed out the half with two straight
points. At half-time, the teams were inseparable at 0-7 to 1-4.
The second half was going to plan as the 'Well scored three points to lead by
0-10 to 1-5. Adare rattled Patrickswell with another goal and two points to eke
out a 2-7 to 0-10 margin. There was a tense finale when two Patrickswell points
reduced the deficit to the bare minimum at 0-12 to 2-7. The momentum seemed to
swing towards Damien Gillane's team. With the minutes ebbing away, it was Adare
who closed the door with two clinching points. The final score was a 0-12 to 2-9
disappointment.

UNDER 21 HURLERS: The third match of the County Championship was played
in icy conditions at Rathkeale against Kilmallock. It was a stiff test against
the Balbec. After fifteen minutes, Kilmallock were leading by 1-5 to 0-3. They
managed to maintain a high tempo and pushed Patrickswell backwards.
Unfortunately, the 'Well were unable to stem the tide and they trailed by 3-11
to 0-4 at the break. The second half was a closer contest as Patrickswell stood
firm and played some fine hurling. Taken in isolation, the second half was all
square. However, the final result was 3-17 to 0-7 for Kilmallock.
The final pool match is scheduled against Adare on Sunday March 11 in Rathkeale.

it. They plundered four consecutive points to establish a seven-point cushion at

struck two early points before Patrickswell settled into the match. With fifteen
minutes gone, the 'Well had turned over the deficit to establish a 1-3 to 0-2

Jason Gillane's point were countered by three Na Piarsaigh points. The half-time
score in Rathkeale was 2-4 to 0-5 to Patrickswell.
The initial exchanges of the second half were finely balanced as both teams
tacked on two points apiece. Patrickswell held a five-point lead at 2-6 to 0-7
