Club Lotto Results
25th April 2019
SENIOR HURLERS: The Senior hurlers produced a comprehensive display to
beat champions Na Piarsaigh in the second match of the County Championship.
Patrickswell began with a high tempo and were rewarded by an early point, which
Na Piarsaigh immediately cancelled out. Within five minutes, Kevin O'Brien
struck the net after his determined solo run. Na Piarsaigh gradually settled
into the contest and scored a couple of points to close the gap at 1-2 to 0-3.
However, the Caherdavin men were put on the back foot when Kevin O'Brien notched
his second goal to cement a 2-2 to 0-3 advantage for the 'Well. Diarmaid Byrnes
and Jason Gillane then contributed fresh points to open up a seven-point lead of
2-4 to 0-3 after fifteen minutes. Na Piarsaigh halted the surge with their
fourth point of the match, but Aaron Gillane and Andrew Carroll scored points to
extend the margin to eight points at 2-6 to 0-4. The first half ended with a
robust response from Na Piarsaigh when they claimed three consecutive points to
move closer at 2-6 to 0-7. Both teams concluded the first half with two points
apiece (Jason Gillane and Diarmaid Byrnes). At half-time, Patrickswell were 2-8
to 0-9 ahead.
Na Piarsaigh made a good start to the second half and scored two straight
points. The deficit stood at one goal with 2-8 to 0-11 on the scoreboard. Aaron
Gillane produced three points that were sandwiched between three Na Piarsaigh
points. The scoreline after forty minutes was 2-11 to 0-14. Na Piarsaigh then
moved within two points and there was great anticipation among the crowd for a
grandstand finish. However, the match was decided by a ruthless attacking surge
from Patrickswell that yielded six consecutive points. Aaron Gillane (0-2), Josh
Considine, Andrew Carroll and Jack Kelleher (0-1 each) finally put the match
beyond Na Piarsaigh. At the end or normal time, Ciaran Carey's men held a
commanding 2-17 to 0-15 lead. The Light Blues scored a consolation goal in
injury time, but Patrickswell stood firm for a famous 2-17 to 1-15 victory. Well
done to the players and management.

18th April 2019
SENIOR HURLERS: Patrickswell made a winning start in the Senior Hurling
Championship against Doon, despite the challenging conditions in Kilmallock.
The 'Well played into a stiff breeze in the first half and Doon took advantage
with the opening two points. Diarmaid Byrnes registered Patrickswell's first
point and this was quickly followed by points from Aaron Gillane and Paul
O'Brien. After fifteen minutes, the scoreline was 0-3 to 0-2 to Ciaran Carey's
men. Doon rallied with two consecutive points, but Diarmaid Byrnes cancelled out
this recovery with two points in response. Once again the East Men equalised;
however Aaron Gillane was on hand to nudge Patrickswell back into the lead at
0-6 to 0-5. At the end of the first half, Doon scored twice to go ahead by 0-7
to 0-6. Diarmaid Byrnes registered the final point of the first half to ensure
that the teams were level at 0-7 apiece. Patrickswell had coped with the strong
breeze and were delighted to reach half-time at parity.
With the conditions now in our favour, the 'Well took full advantage at the
beginning of the second half. Jason Gillane's point was immediately followed by
John Flynn's goal after a determined solo run. Aaron Gillane and Diarmaid Byrnes
struck more points to put Patrickswell ahead by 1-10 to 0-7. While Doon scored a
point, Cian Lynch responded immediately. The middle of the second half saw Doon
reduced to thirteen men after two red cards were issued. Our opponents scored
another two points, but Jack Kelleher and Mark Carmody notched their first
points to ensure a 1-13 to 0-10 triumph.
On Easter Sunday, the Senior hurlers return to Kilmallock to play Na Piarsaigh

28th March 2019
UNDER 21 HURLERS: The U-21 hurlers bowed out of the Premier Championship
after suffering defeat to a strong Na Piarsaigh side. Patrickswell started
extremely positively and were dominant in the opening ten minutes. John Flynn
and Josh Considine struck two points each as the 'Well raced into a 0-4 to 0-1
lead. Na Piarsaigh settled into their stride and roared back into the match with
a passage of one goal and three points without reply. At the twenty minute mark,
the Caherdavin men were 1-4 to 0-4 ahead. Thankfully, the 'Well had a second
wind and notched four points in a five-minute surge. With five minutes remaining
in the first half, the sides were level at 0-8 to 1-5. Unfortunately, Na
Piarsaigh devastated Des Foley's men with an unanswered blitz of 1-5 before the
interval. The half-time score was a deficit of 2-10 to 0-8.
Patrickswell needed an immediate response at the start of the second half.
However, Na Piarsaigh chalked up another 1-2 without reply in five minutes. The
margin was now thirteen points at 0-8 to 3-12. John Flynn sparked a mini-revival
with a haul of one goal and two points as the arrears were trimmed back to eight
points at 1-10 to 3-12. There was no room for a dramatic comeback as the Light
Blues increased their tempo and secured another 1-3 without response. As the
game entered its final phases, Na Piarsaigh led by 4-15 to 1-10. Patrickwell
added a few insurance points while exiting the competition on a scoreline of
1-12 to 4-15. Hard luck to the players and management.
UNDER 14 CAMOGIE FÉILE: Our U-14 girls battled their way to a County
Feile final after a long weekend of camogie. In the semi-final, they accounted
for Ballybrown by 4-4 to 0-0. In the final, Patrickswell played with great heart
but were defeated by 1-6 to 0-4.

UNDER 21 HURLERS: The U-21 hurlers maintained their 100% record in the
Premier Hurling Championship after beating Kildimo-Pallaskenry at a rain-soaked
Gaelic Grounds.
Our opponents adapted to the terrible conditions and dominated the opening
fifteen minutes. Patrickswell found themselves four points down and under
consistent pressure. John Flynn notched the 'Well's first point to settle some
nerves; however Kildimo-Pallaskenry cancelled out this score immediately. Once
again, John Flynn narrowed the deficit to three points with his second point,
but it was swiftly matched. Thankfully, Des Foley's men rallied in the last five
minutes of the first half and claimed consecutive points from Cillian O'Reilly,
Paudie Maher and John Flynn. The half-time deficit was 0-6 to 0-5.
The second half produced a dominant display from Patrickswell that overwhelmed
Kildimo-Pallaskenry. Darragh Ahern, John Flynn and Brian Fitzgerald scored early
points to establish a 0-8 to 0-6 lead. Cian Enright's goal was a turning point
in the match. This moment was followed by a consistent scoring rate as Jamie
Dillon, Jason Gillane (0-2) and Josh Considine (0-2) piled on the points. With
five minutes left, Patrickwell were ten points ahead at 1-13 to 0-6. Our
opponents struck their solitary point of the second half with a few minutes
left. The final score was 1-14 to 0-7. Patrickswell have qualified directly into
a semi-final that is scheduled for Tuesday March 19.

U-21 HURLERS: In the third match of the Premier Championship, the ‘Well
comprehensively beat Monaleen. Our opponents were on the back foot from the
outset and were unable to halt our impressive attack. Within five minutes,
Darragh Ahern cleverly intercepted the goalkeeper’s short clearance and drove
the sliotar into the unguarded net. This goal was followed by points from John
Flynn (0-2), Jason Gillane, Josh Considine, Jamie Dillon and Paudie Maher.
Patrickswell were 1-7 to 0-0 ahead after fifteen minutes. Monaleen eventually
registered a point on the scoreboard, however the onslaught continued from John
Flynn (0-2), Calvin Carroll and Jason Gillane. The half-time advantage was
twelve points at 1-11 to 0-2.
Monaleen registered two points at the beginning of the second half; however
Patrickswell cancelled these scores out quickly. The reprieve for Monaleen was
short-lived. In the space of ten minutes, Jordan Higgins scored a close-range
goal, while John Flynn and Jason Gillane combined to score four points. The
margin had expanded to 2-17 to 0-4 with five minutes remaining. Our opponents
notched a late consolation goal and point; however it was fitting that Calvin
Carroll secured the final point of the match. Patrickswell went home from
Caherdavin with a 2-18 to 1-5 victory.
The final group match is scheduled for Tuesday March 5 against
Kildimo-Pallaskenry.

21st February
2019
U-21 HURLERS: The U-21 hurlers continued their winning start to the
Championship season by defeating Na Piarsaigh in Rhebogue. Patrickswell made an
impressive start and led by 0-3 to 0-0 within five minutes. Na Piarsaigh managed
to settle into the match and replied with two consecutive points. Shortly
afterwards, Jason Gillane and Josh Considine gave the 'Well a 0-5 to 0-2
advantage; however the Caherdavin team responded with two fresh scores. After
fifteen minutes, Patrickswell held a narrow 0-5 to 0-4 lead. Des Foley's men
enjoyed a short purple patch and racked up three unanswered points to build a
0-8 to 0-4 margin. Na Piarsaigh were resilient and reduced the arrears with yet
another two point burst. Thankfully, Cillian O'Reilly scored a late point to
establish a 0-9 to 0-6 half-time buffer.
The second half was a tighter contest and points were harder to register. Na
Piarsaigh notched the opening point, but Jason Gillane cancelled out that
particular score. Na Piarsaigh chalked up another point before John Flynn
replied in kind. Paudie Maher fired a vital point to provide some breathing
space. As the match entered its final quarter, the 'Well led by 0-12 to 0-8.
However, two Na Piarsaigh points slashed the margin to 0-12 to 0-10. The 'Well
produced another point to cement a one-goal lead at 0-13 to 0-10 with two
minutes remaining. Na Piarsaigh earned a long-distance free at the start of
injury time. Instead of aiming for a goal, they settled for a point and hoped
that the referee would grant additional time. The Patrickswell defence stood
firm and we held out for a 0-13 to 0-11 victory.
The next Championship match is on Tuesday February 19 against Monaleen in
Rhebogue at 7.30pm.
CLUB LOTTO: Lotto results for the week ending Monday February 11 were as

UNDER 21 HURLERS: Patrickswell made a winning start to the Premier
Hurling Championship against Ahane. The opening stages were completely dominated
by the 'Well as we established a 0-6 to 0-0 advantage after fifteen minutes.
Darragh Ahern scored three of these points, while Jamie Dillon, Josh Considine
and Jason Gillane contributed one point apiece. Ahane managed to stem the tide
with their first point, but this was immediately cancelled out by a Patrickswell
point. After twenty minutes, there was great uncertainty over whether an Ahane
shot had crossed the line. While the players took their positions for a 65', the
referee and umpires agreed that the sliotar was over the line and the green flag
was raised. The scoreline was now 0-7 to 1-1 in favour of Patrickswell. The goal
did not cause much concern as Jason Gillane fired in a goal, while Darragh
Ahern, Adam Carrig and Eoin Carroll added fresh points. Des Foley's team were in
firm control at 1-10 to 1-1, before Ahane notched two points before the
interval. The half-time score was 1-10 to 1-3.
Our opponents were revitalised in the second half. Ahane scored three points
without reply until Darragh Ahern responded with a point. Once again, Ahane came
forward and claimed two consecutive points. The match had become competitive in
the final quarter. With fifteen minutes remaining, Patrickswell led by 1-11 to
1-8. Thankfully, Darragh Ahern (0-2) and Jason Gillane created some breathing
space when they extended the margin to six points at 1-14 to 1-8. In the final
minutes, Ahane scored a second goal to slash the arrears to three points. There
was no grandstand finale for Ahane as Patrickswell struck an insurance point to
win by 1-15 (18) to 2-8 (14).
The next match is against Na Piarsaigh in Rhebogue on Tuesday February 12 at
7.30pm.

JUVENILE CLUB ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING: The Juvenile Club Annual General
Meeting for 2018 was opened by new Chairman John Murphy. Secretary Peter Maher
delivered his annual report to the audience. The year started with a Recruitment
Event that was very well attended by young people and strongly supported by the
senior players. Peter thanked everyone who assisted in the successful running of
the event.
The next portion of the Secretary's Report was a review of each age group. The
U-6s trained on Friday evenings and greatly enjoyed themselves. The U-8s learnt
the fundamentals of hurling and attended numerous blitzes and challenge matches.
The U-10s were extremely busy with blitzes and attended an intercounty event in
May against Portroe, Cashel and Ballybrown. The Parish League acted as the
traditional season closer, where the young boys and girls had the chance to
showcase their talents. Many thanks to the Fitzgerald family for donating
equipment to the club and O'Brien's Pharmacy for sponsoring the day.
The U-12s played in an eleven-a-side league and also trained with the U-14s.
Their most memorable event was a blitz in Croke Park against Cork and Tipperary
teams. The boys were given words of encouragement by Cian Lynch and Aaron
Gillane. The U-14s had a long season that stretched from February to December.
They contested Féile and the championship, learning much along the way. The
U-16s reached a semi-final and played very well.
Senior Club Chairman John McDermott addressed the meeting. He was delighted that
John Murphy had taken the role of Juvenile Club Chairman. A major objective of
the club is to identify young players in the locality and get them hurling with
the 'Well.
The following management teams were picked: U-6 Conor Murray and John Murphy,
U-8 Dave Hennessy, Mark Griffin and Keith Mullane, U-10 Declan O'Grady, U-12
Mike Foley, Anthony Foley, John Ferguson, Peter Maher and Jim Butler, U-14 Pa

CLUB ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING: The Club’s Annual General Meeting was held
in the clubhouse with a healthy attendance present. Martin Ryan delivered his
final Secretary’s Report in his usual comprehensive style. The Senior hurlers
were pipped in the County Championship semi-final by Doon, but they did manage
to secure the City Championship against Ballybrown. The Junior A hurlers
collected three trophies this season, following their successes in the City
League, County League and City Championship. Their only defeat of the season was
the County Championship semi-final loss to Kileedy.
The U-21 hurlers bowed out in the group stages in the spring. Our Minor hurlers
had a fantastic season and battled all the way to the County Final.
Unfortunately, Garryspillane produced a strong performance to deny Patrickswell.
The Secretary thanked managers and selectors for facilitating the matches
throughout the year. He complimented every Patrickswell player that lined out
for Limerick, especially the All-Ireland winning trio of Cian Lynch, Diarmaid
Byrnes and Aaron Gillane. Gratitude was expressed to main sponsors, Duggan
Systems and the Greyhound Night Fundraising Committee led by Michael Walsh.
Martin commended the Camogie Club, Juvenile Club and Patrickswell National
School for being so helpful and obliging. He concluded his report by expressing
thanks to our Club Lotto organisers - Seamus O’Riordan, Tommy Reidy and Bernard
Hayes, our County Board delegate Oliver Mann, our Munster Council delegate Paul
Foley and the outgoing Chairman, Kieran Carroll. Condolences were offered to the
families of Leonard Enright, Nelius Hayes and everyone who suffered a
bereavement in 2018.
Kieran Carroll then delivered his farewell address as Chairman. The opening part
of the Chairman’s Address focused on the contribution of Leonard Enright to
Patrickswell and Limerick. Leonard was a through-and-through Patrickswell man,
who led by example in every aspect of his life. He was a gentleman and always
performed his duty – whether it was on the sporting field or in the world of
politics. Kieran also lamented the sad passing of our former Treasurer, Nelius
Hayes.
The Chairman was delighted that Limerick ended a 45-year wait to win an
All-Ireland Championship. He was proud that Patrickswell had three
representatives and that Cian Lynch had won an All-Star and Hurler of the Year
award. He acknowledged the sterling service of outgoing Secretary Martin Ryan
and Treasurer Seamus O’Riordan. In the years gone by, Kieran’s father Jimmy
Carroll had been Club Chairman. It was Kieran’s goal to contribute to
Patrickswell GAA Club like his father had done. He thanked his predecessor, Paul
Foley, for handing over the reins in such good shape. He also acknowledged the
support of Willie Leahy as his proposer for the Chairmanship. Sean Lynch and
Nigel Carey were also singled out for their contributions as Vice Chairmen
during his tenure.
When Kieran accepted the role of Chairman, he had two objectives – to keep our
finances in good shape and to preside over success on the playing fields. He
recognised the groundwork laid by Ciaran Carey and the subsequent County title
delivered by Gary Kirby in 2016. Gary was praised as an outstanding club man who
ended a 13-year Daly Cup drought and later claimed a Fitzgibbon Cup for UL. The
Minor Team management were commended for their progress in reaching a County
Final. The age profile of the team would indicate that there are many great
years ahead.
Kieran noted that Patrickswell’s success is built on support and togetherness,
irrespective of who holds the key roles. He was delighted that so many villagers
worked voluntarily and gave back to the club. He was grateful to the Camogie and
Juvenile clubs for their hard work and years of support to him. David Bulfin and
Patrickswell National School were also commended for the development of players
and promotion of hurling.
From a financial perspective, Kieran thanked the Finance Committee, the
Greyhound Night Fundraising Committee and the stalwarts who run the Club Lotto
every week. He acknowledged that it was difficult to raise money annually to
allow for club development. There was praise for Finbar O’Brien’s hard work on
the recent grant application. Patrickswell GAA Club wants to improve its
facilities for future generations. He noted the support given by Limerick GAA
and Munster GAA to our grant applications to date.
The work of Muirne Bennis, Mike Shinnors and Mary Shinnors in Scor was called
out. Duggan Systems were thanked for their long association as club sponsor. In
closing, Kieran noted that our current values are handed down from the Founding
Fathers of the 1940s. Leadership is a tricky business and he always acted in the
best interest of Patrickswell GAA Club. His legacy was to leave things in a
better place.
President PJ O’Grady lauded the Chairman’s Address as the best speech he had
ever heard at a Patrickswell GAA Club AGM. PJ appreciated the calm and rational
manner that Kieran conducted his business. While the ‘Well did not claim a
Senior County Championship title this season, other clubs envy us. We now have
seven All-Ireland winners and Cian Lynch delivered an All-Star and Hurler of the
Year. PJ was humbled by the large attendance at Leonard Enright’s funeral and
the respectful marshalling on the day. He also offered his deepest sympathies to
the family of Nelius Hayes. He spoke fondly about Muirne’s work with Scor and
finally congratulated Martin Ryan and Seamus O’Riordan for their long service to
the club.
Oliver Mann was delighted with how Patrickswell GAA Club was being run. He paid
tribute to the outgoing Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer. Oliver highlighted
that our club is well regarded around the county. He was thrilled by Limerick’s
success in the All-Ireland Championship and lauded the book co-authored by
Ciaran Crowe and Joe Lyons – “At Last”. In closing, Oliver praised the work of
the National School and the Juvenile & Camogie clubs.
Monsignor Lane focused on the hard work of the Chairman, Officers and Committee.
He was amazed at the time and effort invested in the running of our club. In the
21st century, it is incredible to witness the spirit of volunteerism. Monsignor
saw the GAA Club as the vibrant heart of the community. It fostered a sense of
belonging. Monsignor expressed his delight that Limerick won the Liam MacCarthy
Cup and that Patrickswell produced three of its stars. In closing, he offered
his condolences to the Enright family.
The following officers were elected for 2019: Chairman John McDermott, Secretary
Aedin Foley, Treasurer Michael McDermott, Vice-Chairman Seamus O’Riordan,
Assistant Secretaries Jim O’Herlihy and Bernard Hayes, PRO James McCarthy,
Registrar Paddy Carrig, Culture & Language Officer Muirne Bennis and Health &
