22nd June 2017
JUNIOR A HURLERS: The Junior A hurlers won the City League Championship
after an exciting tussle against Ballybrown at Childers Road. The 'Well made a
great start when Aaron Carmody hit the net in the early stages of the first
half. After fifteen minutes, Patrickswell were 1-4 to 0-2 ahead. Ballybrown
ramped up the pressure and were rewarded with four consecutive points. At the
interval, Patrickswell led their parish neighbours by just 1-4 to 0-6.
The second half was a tight battle for fifteen minutes. Cillian O'Reilly (0-1)
and Peter Harty (0-2) managed to keep Patrickswell ahead at 1-7 to 0-9. In the
middle of the second half, Patrickswell enjoyed a period of dominance and opened
a four-point lead with fresh scores from Peter Harty, Cillian O'Reilly and
Kelvin Lynch. There was ten minutes remaining and the 'Well were 1-10 to 0-9
ahead. Ballybrown knew that they required a goal and they pushed hard to get it.
Gary Murphy produced a sparkling save to deny a certain goal as Ballybrown were
kept at bay. They managed a solitary point and Keith Dundon collected the City
League trophy after a 1-10 to 0-10 win.
The players had 48 hours' rest before facing Kilmallock in the County League
semi-final. Patrickswell kept in touch during the first half and were in
contention at 0-7 to 0-6 behind at the break. At one stage of the second half,
the 'Well equalised at 0-8 apiece, but fatigue began to set in. Kilmallock
increased their tempo and rattled Patrickswell with a goal to lead by 1-11 to
0-9. The Balbec closed out the game in a ruthless manner and knocked out Damien
Gillane's men by 1-17 to 0-11. Hard luck to the players for losing the County
semi-final, but congratulations for scooping the City title.

from Cian Lynch (0-2), Aaron Gillane (0-2), Diarmaid Byrnes (0-2), Jack Kelleher

O'Brien. At halftime, the scoreboard displayed a 1-13 to 0-4 advantage to
Patrickswell.

25th May 2017
SENIOR HURLERS: Our Senior hurlers overcame a stringent test from
Monaleen to win the City Championship. While Andrew Carroll struck the opening
point of the match, it was Monaleen who surged into a 0-7 to 0-2 lead within
fifteen minutes. Thankfully, Patrickswell were able to stem the tide and
recovered with four points divided between Lar Considine and Jack Kelleher. The
scoreboard displayed 0-8 to 0-6 for Monaleen when Kevin O'Brien embarked on a
mazy run that ended with a superb solo goal. However, our opponents reached
half-time with a 0-12 to 1-7 lead.
The second half produced a better display from the 'Well. Consecutive points
from Lar Considine, Kevin O'Brien and Mark Carmody levelled the match at 1-11 to
0-14. The game swung decisively for Gary Kirby's men when Mark Carmody notched a
second goal. Patrickswell were able to cement the advantage with points from
Jack Kelleher (0-2) and Kevin O'Brien. The result seemed certain with
Patrickswell holding a 2-14 to 0-15 cushion with five minutes left. Monaleen
drove forward with determination, but they fell short with three points. At the
final whistle, Jack Kelleher collected the City Championship after a 2-14 to
0-18 triumph.

18th May 2017
SENIOR HURLERS: Patrickswell faced a stiff challenge from Na Piarsaigh in
the second instalment of the County Championship. The game was extremely
competitive in the first half as both teams matched each other blow for blow.
Patrickswell took an early 0-3 to 0-1 lead; however the Caherdavin men responded
decisively with an unanswered goal and two points to lead by 1-3 to 0-3 after
fifteen minutes.
Patrickswell clawed their way back into the match as Andrew Carroll's goal was
sandwiched between three Aaron Gillane points. The first half closed with Na
Piarsaigh equalising with two points before Aaron Gillane put the 'Well into an
interval lead of 1-8 to 1-6.
In the second half, Gary Kirby's players started brightly. The margin was
stretched to 1-10 to 1-7. Suddenly Na Piarsaigh burst into life and hit the
front with four quick points at 1-11 to 1-10. At this point, the spectators were
enthralled about how the match would end up. With fifteen minutes to go, there
was deadlock at 1-12 apiece. Na Piarsaigh finished very strongly and stunned
Patrickswell with a second goal to grab 2-13 to 1-13 lead. Any hopes of a
comeback were stifled by a salvo of three points from the Light Blues as they
established a six-point lead with five minutes to play. By the final whistle,
the score stood at 3-18 to 1-15.
The City Championship final against Monaleen is scheduled for Saturday May 20 at
7pm in Claughaun.
11th May 2017
SENIOR HURLERS: Patrickswell clawed out a late victory over Adare in the
first match of the County Championship. The opening exchanges were relatively
balanced as points from Aaron Gillane (0-2) and Seanie O'Brien kept the 'Well in
touch at 0-4 to 0-3 behind after fifteen minutes.
Adare were able to maintain a slim lead throughout the first half, despite the
best efforts of Barry Foley and Aaron Gillane, who notched a further two points
apiece before the interval. The scoreboard displayed a narrow one-point
advantage for Adare by 0-8 to 0-7 at half-time.
Our opponents started the second half very brightly and fired over two points to
build a 0-10 to 0-7 advantage after 40 minutes. Patrickswell needed an immediate
response and this was delivered with quickfire points from Aaron Gillane and
Andrew Carroll. However, Adare managed to keep their noses in front at every
turn. While Kevin O'Brien and Andrew Carroll scored points, Adare extended their
lead to 0-13 against 0-11 with ten minutes left. The match was now a war of
attrition and Patrickswell had the answer. Young John Flynn and Andrew Carroll
plundered consecutive points to draw level at 0-13 apiece. Again, Adare appeared
to slam the door shut with a fresh point. It seemed that the 'Well were not
going to hit the front.
Thankfully, the forwards began to take charge and force Adare onto the back
foot. Andrew Carroll equalised with five minutes remaining, before Aaron Gillane
finally gave Patrickswell the lead at 0-15 to 0-14. The insurance point was
scored by Andrew Carroll before the Patrickswell defence snuffed out Adare's
late attacks. There was great relief at the final whistle as Patrickswell won by
0-16 to 0-14. The next test is on Saturday May 13 against Na Piarsaigh at the
Gaelic Grounds.

O’Brien notching two excellent goals. Meanwhile, our defence restricted the

16th March 2017
UNDER 14 HURLING: Patrickswell travelled to Martinstown for their Féile
match against Cois Laoi Gaels. The game was played in very breezy conditions,
which made the match a traditional 'game of two halves". Patrickswell played
into the stiff breeze, but managed to strike the first point. Cois Laoi Gaels
began to take advantage of the elements and raced into a 1-2 to 0-1 lead.
However the 'Well responded with three consecutive points and closed the gap to
1-2 to 0-4. Unfortunately the 'Well were hemmed in for the remainder of the
first half as their opponents built a 3-7 to 0-5 interval gap.
The second half saw a spirited revival by Patrickswell as they played with the
wind at their backs. There were two goals and two points to slash the deficit to
3-8 to 2-7 with five minutes left. Cois Laoi managed to weather the storm and
held on to win by 3-9 to 2-7. Hard luck to the players and management.
CAMOGIE: Our newly formed Committee, under the leadership of the

UNDER 21 HURLING: The U-21 hurlers suffered late disappointment against
Ahane in the Premier Championship. The game's first score was a point from Cian
Lynch. Ahane replied with two points, before Patrickswell took charge again with
a fine goal from Aaron Gillane. Two fresh points from Gillane put the 'Well in
control at 1-3 to 0-3 after fifteen minutes. Ahane were resilient and drew level
with three consecutive points. The remainder of the first half was keenly
contested; however our opponents reached the interval at 0-9 to 1-5 ahead.
Patrickswell made a flying start to the second half and went 1-9 to 0-9 ahead
with a flurry of four points. There was an exchange of points, before Ahane
increased their tempo and plundered three unanswered points. With ten minutes
left in the match, the scoreline was deadlocked at 1-10 to 0-13. The game
appeared to swing decisively in Patrickswell's favour when Aaron Gillane struck
two late points to create a 1-12 to 0-13 margin. There was late drama as Ahane
broke through the Patrickswell defence to notch a devastating goal.
Unfortunately, Ahane secured an insurance point and held out for a 1-14 to 1-12
win. Pa Dundon's men have to wait for the outcome of Adare versus Ahane to
determine their progress.
CAMOGIE: Sunday's Junior Camogie League fixture with Monaleen was

UNDER 21 HURLING: The Under 21 hurlers produced a remarkable comeback to
win their opening fixture of the County Premier Championship against Adare.
Patrickswell were playing into a stiff breeze in the first half and were largely
on the back foot. Despite taking a 0-2 to 0-1 lead after ten minutes, the ‘Well
failed to score for the remainder of the half, while Adare plundered seven
points without reply. At the interval, the scoreline was 0-8 to 0-2 in arrears.
At the start of the second half, the teams exchanged two points apiece to
register a score of 0-10 to 0-4. The wind and rain had abated and this should
have favoured Adare’s cause. However, Patrickswell took charge of the match and
started to erode the deficit. Two consecutive points reduced the margin to 0-10
to 0-6. The pivotal moment was a 65’ from Aaron Gillane that wrongfooted the
Adare goalkeeper and sneaked into the net. The momentum had now swung to
Patrickswell as they closed the gap to the bare minimum at 0-10 to 1-6. The
‘Well were full of confidence and shattered their opponents with another salvo
of three unanswered points. At the final whistle, Pa Dundon’s men had turned a
likely defeat into a 1-9 to 0-10 triumph.

VICTORY DANCE: The club held its much-anticipated Victory Dance at the
Woodlands Hotel on Saturday February 4. The large attendance was a tribute to
the popularity and importance of Patrickswell GAA in its community. The event
recognised the groundbreaking achievements of the 1965&1966 County Champions,
the record-equalling 2016 County Champions and the superb Minor Camogie title
winners of 2015.
The evening was expertly compered by Club President PJ O'Grady and we were
honoured to welcome Patrick O'Donovan as Minister for Sport, Deputy Niall
Collins TD and Oliver Mann as County Board Chairman.
It was a very nostalgic and emotional evening as the Men of 1965/1966 were
awarded medals to acknowledge their legacy. Sadly, many of the players have now
passed away. However, their family members were invited to receive medals and
stand in their place. The 2016 Senior Hurling Team and 2015 Minor Camogie Team
were thrilled to get recognition for their important victories and their new
place in club history.
We also awarded Distinguished Service plaques to Patrick Kirby, Phil Bennis,
Bernard Hayes and Mossie Carmody to commemorate their tireless years of service
to the club. A special gratitude award was given to Duggan Systems Limited, our
longstanding and generous sponsor. In conclusion, John McDermott was awarded
Club Person of the Year 2016 in recognition of his trojan work with the Finance
Committee and organising the acquisition of land for expansion.
Patrickswell GAA Club would like to thank all its members and supporters for
backing this gala evening. It was a superb event and testament to the spirit of
our village.
