SENIOR HURLERS: Patrickswell bowed out of the Munster Championship after
losing to Ballygunner in Walsh Park. The Waterford champions dominated the
opening stages and scored four points in the opening fifteen minutes. Aaron
Gillane's free registered the 'Well on the scoreboard after twenty minutes, but
Ballygunner extended their lead to 0-6 to 0-1 by the 25th minute. Thankfully,
Patrickswell sprang to life in the closing stages of the first half. Diarmaid
Byrnes and Aaron Gillane notched points within sixty seconds of each other to
close the gap to just three points. While Ballygunner scored their seventh
point, Ciarαn Carey's men blasted back with a quickfire trio from Aaron Gillane
(0-2) and John Flynn. The half-time score was 0-7 to 0-6 to Ballygunner.
The start of the second half was again dominated by Ballygunner. Four points in
twelve minutes opened up an 0-11 to 0-6 advantage. While Aaron Gillane pulled
back a point, the Waterford side accumulated another four points to lead by 0-15
to 0-7 after 52 minutes. Patrickswell needed a colossal comeback. Jack Kelleher
chipped in with two quick points, but Ballygunner closed out the match with a
brace of points. The final score was 0-17 to 0-9. Hard luck to the players and

17th October 2019
JUNIOR A HURLERS: Patrickswell relinquished their City Championship crown
after a narrow one-point defeat to Claughaun. Our opponents scored the first
point, but Cillian O'Reilly soon equalised. Three Peter Harty points established
a 0-4 to 0-3 lead after fifteen minutes. The game sprang to life when Darragh
Ahern hit the net from close range in the 20th minute. Claughaun added another
point, but Darragh Ahern and Peter Harty responded with a point each to cement a
1-6 to 0-4 margin. The Childers Road men bossed the closing minutes of the first
half and were rewarded by four consecutive points. Just before half-time,
Cillian O'Reilly stopped their surge with a point. The interval score was 1-7 to
0-8 to Patrickswell.
Aaron Carmody took the first point of the second half; however Claughaun
equalised with a goal within sixty seconds. The sides were level at 1-8 each.
Over the next fifteen minutes, both teams struck four points each to remain
inseparable at 1-12 each (Peter Harty 0-3 and Cillian O'Reilly). The turning
point of the match was Claughaun's punishing goal after 53 minutes. Patrickswell
were now a goal down and chipped away at the lead with two Peter Harty points.
Unfortunately Anthony Carmody's men could not fashion a late chance. Claughaun
held firm and won the City Championship. Hard luck to the players and
management.

SENIOR HURLERS: The Daly Cup returned to Patrickswell for a record 20th
time as the 'Well produced a textbook performance to topple Na Piarsaigh. Cian
Lynch set the tone with a superb solo point after two minutes. While the
Caherdavin men promptly equalised, Aaron Gillane popped up with two frees to
match Na Piarsaigh's offering. After ten minutes, the scores were level at 0-3
apiece. Patrickswell nudged ahead when Thomas O'Brien and Josh Considine struck
points. The key moment of the match was a devastating finish from young
Considine, who sent a fierce shot into the net. Na Piarsaigh did respond with
two fresh points, but they trailed by 1-5 to 0-5 after 18 minutes. The remainder
of the first half was dominated by the 'Well as four straight points built a
seven-point margin (Jack Kelleher 0-2, Aaron Gillane and Andrew Carroll). Na
Piarsaigh took the final score of the opening half. The half-time score was 1-9
to 0-6 for Ciaran Carey's men.
The second half began with a Na Piarsaigh fightback that was combined with a
scoring drought from Patrickswell. By the 50th minute, Na Piarsaigh had drawn
level with six unanswered points. The fans were on the edge of their seats for
the last ten minutes. Na Piarsaigh were in full flight and the 'Well were on the
back foot. The scoreboard read 1-9 to 0-12. Thankfully Diarmaid Byrnes ended the
slump with a point and Aaron Gillane added another. Na Piarsaigh pulled a point
back, but Josh Considine, Aaron Gillane and Cian Lynch opened a four-point lead
by the 56th minute. Patrickswell were now in the ascendancy. Na Piarsaigh
trimmed the margin to three points; however Cian Lynch and Aaron Gillane
increased the buffer to five points. The victory was almost in sight. While Na
Piarsaigh struck another point, Diarmaid Byrnes closed out the match at 1-17 to
0-15. There were tears and jubilation as Cian Lynch held the trophy aloft. Well
done to the players and management. Onwards to the Munster Championship!

face Na Piarsaigh in the Senior Championship final on Sunday October 6 at
3.30pm. Your support is much appreciated. Best wishes to the players and
management.
JUNIOR A HURLERS: It was a week of mixed fortunes for the Junior A
hurlers. In the City Championship in Rhebogue, Patrickswell faced a tough
Claughaun side. Claughaun opened the scoring in the opening minutes before Peter
Harty restored parity. The match sparked to life when Claughaun struck the back
of the net. However, Anthony Carmody's men did not panic and set about closing
the gap. Three of the next four points were from the 'Well (Darragh Ahern 0-2
and Barry Foley). At this point, our opponents held a 1-2 to 0-4 lead. After 20
minutes, Darragh Ahern lost his marker and scored a goal with great composure.
Claughaun replied with a point, but Owen McNamara and Peter Harty established a
three-point buffer. The final score of the first half was a point from
Claughaun. Patrickswell led 1-6 to 1-4 at the interval.
The second half began at a ferocious pace as Claughaun's second goal was
cancelled out by Peter Harty's strike. The Childers Road side then rattled three
consecutive points to take the lead at 2-7 to 2-6. Barry Foley's goal and Peter
Harty's point appeared to be decisive as the 'Well led by three points with ten
minutes to go. Claughaun scored a point, but Barry Foley matched it. There were
five minutes left and the score was 3-8 to 2-8. When Claughaun moved to within
two points, it still appeared that Patrickswell could weather the storm. In the
opening part of injury time, Claughaun worked a goal and stunned the 'Well. The
clock was ticking and a point was required. Deep into injury time, Peter Harty
was given a final chance to equalise. He made no mistake and the match was
drawn.
Less than 48 hours later, Patrickswell faced Killeedy in the County
quarter-final, held in atrocious weather conditions. It took eight minutes for
Darragh Ahern to register the first point and he followed with a goal. Killeedy
replied with three points before Barry Foley stopped their charge. After fifteen
minutes, the scoreboard was 1-2 to 0-3. Killeedy produced another trio of
unanswered points before Peter Harty stepped in with a point. There was five
minutes left in the first half and the sides were level at 1-3 to 0-6. Our
opponents were managing better on the slippery pitch and notched a goal and
point before the half-time whistle. The scoreline was 1-7 to 1-3 in arrears at
the break.
There was no let-up at the start of the second half. Killeedy scooped another
three straight points to build a sizeable seven-point lead at 1-10 to 1-3.
Jonathan McMahon's point was cancelled out, but the game sprang to life again
with Darragh Ahern's second goal. There was still 15 minutes and Patrickswell
trailed by four points. The rate of scoring dropped and Peter Harty's point was
responded to. The final score was a reverse of 1-12 to 2-5. Hard luck to the
players and management.
CLUB LOTTO: Lotto results for the week ending Monday September 23 were as
follows. The numbers drawn were 2, 22, 28 and 30. The Bonus was 32. The Lucky

26th September
2019
SENIOR HURLERS: Patrickswell reached the Senior Championship final after
a gritty victory over Doon. The East Men scored the opening point of the match
before Diarmaid Byrnes replied with a free. Doon edged ahead once again, but
points from Josh Considine and Aaron Gillane established a 0-3 to 0-2 lead for
Patrickswell by the 10th minute. Our opponents produced two fresh points;
however Aaron Gillane responded with a free to equalise at 0-4 apiece. The
middle of the first half saw a reduced rate of scoring. Doon crept ahead with
another point, but they were undone by a Kevin O'Brien goal that took a wicked
deflection to wrongfoot their goalkeeper. After 22 minutes, the 'Well led by 1-4
to 0-5. Doon reduced the arrears with two successive points, although Diarmaid
Byrnes and Kevin O'Brien cancelled them out with another pair of points. The
half-time score was 1-6 to 0-7.
At the start of the second half, Kevin O'Brien broke through the Doon defence
and closed in on goal. He chose the unselfish option and crossed to Jason
Gillane, who buried the chance. Kevin O'Brien followed up with a point five
minutes later and Ciaran Carey's men were 2-7 to 0-7 ahead. Doon closed the
margin to four points with a brace of scores, but Jack Kelleher, Aaron Gillane
and Diarmaid Byrnes notched unanswered points to build a larger 2-10 to 0-9 lead
by the 45th minute. Doon were frustrated in their attempt to close the gap as
both teams scored three points apiece (Aaron Gillane, Cian Lynch and Tom
O'Brien). In the closing five minutes, Doon narrowed the scoreline with two
points and cut the deficit to 2-13 to 0-14. Kevin O'Brien struck the 'Well's
last point before Doon closed the scoring at 2-14 to 0-15. Congratulations to
the players and management.
JUNIOR A HURLERS: Patrickswell met Mungret in the City Junior
Championship semi-final replay and made no mistake at the second attempt. The
'Well started brightly and accrued two points within seven minutes. Mungret
pulled a point back, but they were shocked by an incredible salvo of 1-11
without reply before half-time. Peter Harty scored 1-2 and there were more
points from Jonathan McMahon (0-3), David Woulfe (0-3) and Barry Foley. The
half-time score was a comprehensive 1-13 to 0-1 lead.
There was no respite for Mungret at the start of the second half as Barry Foley
and Aaron Carmody struck goals to increase the advantage to 3-14 to 0-1. There
were no further scores for a spell of fifteen minutes, but the lull was ended by
goals from Clive Kirby and Gavin Carey. Clive Kirby added another point and
Patrickswell led by 5-15 to 0-1. Mungret got a consolation point, before David
Woulfe ended the match with a point. The result was a 5-16 to 0-2 win.

against Doon on Sunday September 22 at 2pm at the LIT Gaelic Grounds. Please
support our biggest match of the season.
JUNIOR A HURLERS: The Junior A hurlers were denied a place in the City
Championship final when Mungret produced a late equaliser to force a replay.
Gavin Carey opened the Patrickswell account with a point after four minutes, but
Mungret replied shortly afterwards. Cian Enright put the 'Well ahead with
another point; however our opponents notched up three quick scores to lead by
0-4 to 0-2 by the fifteenth minute. The 'Well increased their tempo and were
rewarded by three unanswered points from Darragh Ahern (0-1) and the evergreen
Barry Foley (0-2). Mungret halted the surge by scoring a point, although David
Woulfe and Barry Foley contributed additional points to extend the lead at 0-7
to 0-5. There was a flurry of activity just before half-time, with Mungret
claiming 1-2 in quick succession. Patrickswell were now in arrears. David Woulfe
snatched a late point, which was cancelled out by the interval. The scoreboard
at the break displayed a 1-8 to 0-8 deficit.
The second half began positively for Patrickswell as Barry Foley recorded a
point. Mungret responded almost immediately, before Peter Harty produced two
points in quick succession. At the forty minute mark, Anthony Carmody's men
trailed by just 1-9 to 0-11. The rate of scoring slowed down over the next ten
minutes. Despite Mungret increasing their advantage to two points, Barry Foley
and Peter Harty drew the 'Well level at 0-13 to 1-10. Mungret crept ahead again,
but they were left reeling by a Peter Harty goal on fifty minutes. Our opponents
composed themselves and scored two points to equalise at 1-13 apiece before
injury time. Every breaking ball was fiercely contested. Peter Harty's free at
the beginning of injury time put the 'Well into the lead. Mungret were still
battling hard for a final opportunity to score. In the sixth minute of injury
time, they earned a free and it was despatched over the bar to secure a replay.
MINOR HURLERS: Patrickswell met neighbours Ballybrown in the semi-final
of the Premier Minor Championship at the Gaelic Grounds. Our parish rivals
scored the first point, but Patrick Kirby immediately equalised with a free.
Ballybrown added two points to their total before Eoin Harmon pulled a score
back. After ten minutes, the Clarina men held a 0-3 to 0-2 lead. There was a
further exchange of points; however Ballybrown then added three unanswered
points within four minutes. Our neighbours were 0-7 to 0-3 ahead, with five
minutes left in the opening half. Niall Kerins stemmed the tide with his first
point of the match, although Ballybrown turned up the heat with another three
straight points. Patrick Kirby's point on the stroke of half-time trimmed the
deficit to 0-10 to 0-5. Unfortunately, Ballybrown had sufficient time to accrue
two more points. The half-time score was 0-12 to 0-5.
Patrick Kirby started a recovery at the beginning of the second half with a trio
of frees. Patrickswell were trailing by just four points when Ballybrown
delivered a devastating goal. There was still twenty minutes on the clock and
John Murphy's team were seven points adrift at 1-12 to 0-8. Three more Patrick
Kirby frees were interspersed with two Ballybrown points. The stadium clock was
at fifty minutes and the 'Well were still 1-14 to 0-11 behind. The game ended as
a contest when Ballybrown's second goal opened an unassailable nine-point lead.
The goal was followed by three fresh Ballybrown points. Eoin Harmon's late point
produced a final score of 2-17 to 0-12. Hard luck to the players and management.

MINOR HURLERS: Patrickswell qualified for the semi-final of the Premier
Championship by edging out Na Piarsaigh in a gripping match. The Caherdavin side
started brightly and led by 0-2 to 0-0 after five minutes. Cian Enright's point
was immediately matched by Na Piarsaigh, but Patrick Kirby was on hand to score
two frees in quick succession. The score after fifteen minutes was 0-3 apiece.
Patrickswell were rattled by conceding a goal and a point within two minutes;
however Patrick Kirby's two scores slashed the deficit to 1-4 to 0-5. The
remaining five minutes of the first half were evenly balanced as both sides
scored three points each (Cian Enright 0-2 and Patrick Kirby). At the interval,
Na Piarsaigh led by 1-7 to 0-8.
The second half was fiercely contested as both clubs gave their total
commitment. Na Piarsaigh notched the first point of the second half, but Patrick
Kirby responded with two frees to reduce the arrears to a single point. When Na
Piarsaigh claimed another point, Patrick Kirby matched them. After forty minutes
of action, the Light Blues were shading the match by 1-9 to 0-11. Both sides
needed a win to reach the semi-final and Na Piarsaigh then established a
two-point advantage at 1-10 to 0-11. Patrick Kirby's trio of points put the
'Well ahead for the first time at 0-14 to 1-10, but Na Piarsaigh levelled in the
50th minute. There was tension among the players, management and spectators. Two
more points from Patrick Kirby put John Murphy's side in the box seat, but our
opponents took three minutes to equalise. There was three minutes on the clock
and the match was tied at 0-16 to 1-13. Every breaking ball was chased down and
the players worked hard to create the decisive moment. On the stroke of time,
Patrickswell earned a free. There was no mistake from the accurate Patrick
Kirby. Na Piarsaigh laboured to make one final chance in injury time, but the
'Well held firm.

SENIOR HURLERS: Patrickswell preserved their unbeaten record in the
Senior Hurling Championship after grinding out a draw with Adare. Josh Considine
scored the opening point of the match within a minute, but Adare equaliser a few
minutes later. The Well's second point was closely followed by a good spell from
our neighbours, where they notched four consecutive points in four minutes.
Kevin O'Brien and Calvin Carroll halted the surge by firing over two points in
rapid succession. At the ten minute mark, Patrickswell trailed by 0-5 to 0-4.
The game appeared to swing decisively in Adare's favour as they plundered 1-5
without reply in a devastating spell. Thankfully Jack Kelleher and Paul O'Brien
responded with points, but the 'Well found themselves 1-10 to 0-6 behind on 20
minutes. The remainder of the first half was evenly matched as Jack Kelleher
(0-2) and Diarmaid Byrnes were cancelled out. The half-time score was 1-13 to
0-9.
The first ten minutes of the second half was characterised by four Jack Kelleher
points being matched by Adare. Ciaran Carey's men remained seven points adrift.
Paul O'Brien and Jason Gillane notched points to close the deficit to five
points at 1-17 to 0-15. Two Adare points sandwiched another Kelleher point and
the margin was back to six points. The contest was blown wide open as Josh
Considine's goal was followed up with points from Seanie O'Brien, Diarmaid
Byrnes and Jack Kelleher. There was eight minutes on the scoreboard clock and
Patrickswell trailed by 1-20 to 1 19. Adare crept two points ahead, but Calvin
Carroll and Diarmaid Byrnes finally brought the match level at 1-21 apiece on 57
minutes. Jack Kelleher was then forced to cancel out two Adare points as the
stadium clock ran out at 1-23 each. There was enough injury time for Andrew
Carroll's point to put the 'Well on the brink of an unexpected victory. However,
Adare worked the ball forward and equalised at the death. Patrickswell will wait

Premier Championship. The first match of the week was a difficult visit from
parish neighbours Ballybrown. Eoin Harmon scored the first point of the match
after five minutes; however Ballybrown went ahead with an immediate goal in
reply. Eoin Harmon's second point reduced the margin to a single score, but
Ballybrown stepped up the tempo and secured three unanswered points. After ten
minutes, the Clarina team led by 1-3 to 0-2. Eoin Harmon's third free of the
match edged the 'Well closer, although Ballybrown shocked the home team with
another quickfire goal and point. Eoin Harmon's accuracy increased his personal
tally by another two points, but Ballybrown matched John Murphy's players stride
for stride. The deficit was not impossible to overcome at 2-6 to 0-5.
Unfortunately, Ballybrown completely dominated the closing stages of the first
half and plundered six points without response. The half-time score was 2-12 to
0-5.
The second half started with another two Ballybrown points, before Eoin Harmon
stepped in with a single response. The Ballybrown attack was relentless as they
notched another four consecutive points and opened a 2-18 to 0-6. Eoin Harmon
and Sam McNamara showed true grit to claim fresh points, but Ballybrown managed
two points of their own. As the match entered its final quarter, the arrears
were 2-20 to 0-8. Ballybrown were ruthless in the final stages of the match.
Despite Eoin Harmon's additional contribution of four points, the visitors
enjoyed three goals. The final score was a 5-20 to 0-12 reverse.
Four days later, Patrickswell welcomed Garryspillane and Patrick Kirby returned
to the starting line-up. The team was revitalised and immediately took charge.
The 'Well helped themselves to six unanswered points as Patrick Kirby (0-4),
John Kirby and Cian Enright sparkled. The Bouncers halted the surge with two
points, but they were once again on the back foot when Eoin Harmon, Cormac
Kerins and Patrick Kirby increased the lead at 0-9 to 0-2. The middle segment of
the first half was competitive as Patrickswell secured three points from John
Kirby (0-2) and Cian Gorman to cancel out Garryspillane scores. On the 25 minute
mark, the 'Well led by 0-12 to 0-5. Patrick Kirby and Cian Enright added points,
but Garryspillane were ultimately sunk by Niall Kerins' goal and a Patrick Kirby
point on the stroke of half-time. The referee blew for half-time and the home
side led by 1-15 to 0-6.
The second half was an exhibition in score-taking as Patrickswell set about
wiping the memory of the Ballybrown defeat. Patrick Kirby scored a goal almost
immediately and this was followed by another two points from the Kirby brothers.
Garryspillane countered with a point, but they were now trailing by 2-17 to 0-7.
While Eoin Harmon's point was cancelled out by Garryspillane, the 'Well swept
upfield and accumulated another four points without reply from Patrick Kirby
(0-2), John Kirby and Eoin Harmon. There was fifteen minutes remaining and
Patrickswell led by 2-22 to 0-8. The Bouncers' next point was met with a salvo
of eight points in five minutes from John Kirby (0-2), Sam McNamara (0-2), Eoin
Harmon, Cian Enright and Shane Hannon. There was still ten minutes left and the
'Well were cruising at 2-30 to 0-9. The pace relented somewhat and Garryspillane
consoled themselves with 1-2 without reply in a five-minute burst. The match
ended with points from Eoin Harmon and Cian Gorman to cap an impressive 2-32 to
1-12 win.
Patrickswell will need to beat Na Piarsaigh and hope that Ahane drop points to
qualify for the semi-final.

22nd August 2019
SENIOR HURLERS: Patrickswell produced a stirring comeback to salvage a
draw against Kilmallock in the Senior Hurling Championship. Kilmallock started
the match with great intensity and built up a seven point lead within fifteen
minutes. Aaron Gillane's free put an end to the onslaught and began the
Patrickswell revival. Another Aaron Gillane point reduced the arrears to 0-7 to
0-2, before Kilmallock scored their eighth point. Andrew Carroll and Aaron
Gillane contributed fresh points apiece; however their scores were cancelled out
by the Balbec. After twenty minutes, the scoreboard displayed a deficit of 0-10
to 0-4. Aaron Gillane's accuracy from frees was now hurting Kilmallock and he
was rewarded with three points in three minutes. Ciaran Carey's side were
sitting within three points at 0-10 to 0-7. Kilmallock nudged ahead with another
point, but Gillane chalked up two more points for his personal tally. At
half-time, the 'Well trailed by just 0-11 to 0-9. Aaron Gillane was leading
scorer with eight points.
The start of the second half was evenly balanced. Kevin O'Brien and Andrew
Carroll notched early points to cancel out Kilmallock's two points. Our
opponents extended their advantage to 0-15 to 0-11 with two unanswered points by
the 40th minute. Nigel Foley's surge from defence was rewarded by a fine score,
but Kilmallock were able to respond immediately. Patrickswell's cause was
hampered by the loss of Cian Lynch with fifteen minutes left on the clock.
Diarmaid Byrnes' free reduced the deficit to three points, yet Kilmallock
responded with another point to keep the 'Well at arm's length. Patrickswell
needed a big response and it was delivered by Aaron Gillane's salvo of four
points in four minutes. The teams were inseparable at 0-17 apiece after 57
minutes. Kilmallock appeared to secure the victory with a 58th minute point;
however Patrickswell earned a free in stoppage time and Aaron Gillane made no
mistake. The final score was 0-18 to 0-18.
MINOR HURLERS: The Minor hurlers lost narrowly to Mungret away in the Premier
Hurling Championship. The match was played in poor conditions, which affected
the quality of hurling. The hosts raced into a three point lead within five
minutes, before Patrick Kirby and Cormac Kerins reduced the deficit to a point.
Mungret struck two unanswered points, yet Patrick Kirby equalised with a string
of three frees in nine minutes. After 25 minutes, the scores were tied at 0-5 to
0-5. Unfortunately for the 'Well, Mungret snatched a goal just before the
half-time whistle and led by 1-5 to 0-5.
The deteriorating conditions in the second half ensured a low-scoring contest.
Cian Enright's early point was eroded by four consecutive home points by 53rd
minute. There were only five minutes on the clock and Patrickswell trailed by
1-9 to 0-6. Cian Enright's point was a glimmer of hope, but there were no
further scores until deep into stoppage time. The 'Well smuggled the sliotar
into the net and reduced the deficit to 1-9 to 1-7. Unfortunately, the referee
ended the contest shortly afterwards.
CAMOGIE: Patrickswell's Junior Ladies play the first round of their

SENIOR HURLERS: Patrickswell maintained their perfect start to the Senior
Hurling Championship with a comfortable win over South Liberties. It took Kevin
O'Brien eight minutes to break the deadlock with the game's first point. One
minute later, he burst through the South Liberties defence and notched a fine
goal. John Flynn's point put the 'Well 1-2 to 0-0 ahead, before our opponents
struck their first point. Their recovery was short-lived as John Flynn claimed a
goal and Aaron Gillane added another point. At the 15 minute mark, Ciaran
Carey's side led by 2-3 to 0-1. The middle of the first half was more even. Four
Patrickswell points from Aaron Gillane (0-2), Josh Considine and Andrew Carroll
were cancelled out by South Liberties. The 'Well finished the first half with a
barrage of four points from John Flynn (0-2), Aaron Gillane and Jack Kelleher.
The half-time score was 2-11 to 0-6.
South Liberties started the second half with two consecutive points before Aaron
Gillane responded with a point. Their ninth point of the match was followed by
another Kevin O'Brien goal to build a 3-12 to 0-9 advantage. Diarmaid Byrnes
recorded his first point; however South Liberties replied with three unanswered
points. There were fifteen minutes left on the clock and the 'Well were 3-13 to
0-12 ahead. As the rain fell heavily, Patrickswell closed out the match with a
final purple patch of four points (Aaron Gillane 0-2, Diarmaid Byrnes and Kevin
O'Brien). At the final whistle, the group leaders emerged as 3-17 to 0-12
winners. The next Championship match is on Friday August 16 at 7.30pm in the

Carrig, Barry Foley and Gavin Carey. Old Christians stepped up their effort and
tacked on three consecutive points to lead by 1-4 to 0-3 after 15 minutes. The
'Well increased their tempo and rallied with four straight points from Barry
Foley (0-2), Gavin Carey and Cillian O'Reilly. The scores were tied at 0-7 to
1-4 with ten minutes left in the first half. Two Jonathan McMahon points were
cancelled out by our opponents, before Owen McNamara, David Woulfe and Aaron
Carmody gave Patrickswell a 0-12 to 1-6 advantage after 28 minutes.
Unfortunately, Old Christians smashed two goals in a minute just before the
half-time whistle and led by 3-6 to 0-12 at the break.
The second half began with a decisive goal from Old Christians that opened up a
six point lead of 4-6 to 0-12. Darragh Ahern and Cian Enright scored fresh
points, but these were matched in kind. When Old Christians bagged another two
points, they were comfortably ahead at 4-10 to 0-14. The last five minutes were
characterised by three Patrickswell points (Darragh Ahern 0-2 and Cian Enright)
and another Old Christians point. The final score was a 4-11 to 0-17 defeat.

MINOR HURLERS: Patrickswell were unlucky to lose their Premier Hurling
Championship match after an exciting and physical tussle in Ahane. Patrick Kirby
struck the opening point, but the 'Well were stunned by an onslaught of 1-6
without reply from Ahane. While other clubs would have collapsed, Patrickswell
rolled up their sleeves and blitzed the hosts with eight straight points.
Patrick Kirby notched seven of the points, while John Kirby chipped in with a
point. The scoreline after a breathless 25 minutes was tied at 0-9 to 1-6. Ahane
stopped the rot with a point, but Shane Hannon equalised just before half-time.
The second half was more conventional and dogged. Patrick Kirby added another
two points; however Ahane levelled quickly. Another Patrick Kirby point was
cancelled out immediately. The 'Well appeared to take control with three
straight points from Eoin Harmon (0-1) and Patrick Kirby (0-2) in the middle of
the half. Ahane edged back into the contest with two unanswered points. With ten
minutes left, Patrickswell led by 0-16 to 1-12. Cormac Kerins' point opened up a

another point. Adare rattled two fresh points, but Jack Kelleher then claimed
his first point of the match. With fifteen minutes on the clock, Patrickswell
led by 1-3 to 0-5. Following this, our neighbours increased their output of
points. Three Adare points had to be countered with scores from Jack Kelleher,
Paul O'Brien and Jason Gillane. At the 25 minute mark, the 'Well held a narrow
1-6 to 0-8 lead. Paul O'Brien's second goal built a four-point lead, although
Adare accumulated five more points in contrast to Patrickswell's late points
from Jack Kelleher and Lar Considine. The half-time score was a slender 2-8 to
0-13 cushion for Patrickswell.
Ciarαn Carey's men started the second half strongly and were rewarded with
points for John Flynn and Lar Considine. To their credit, Adare had a spell of
1-4 while Patrickswell mustered two points from Jack Kelleher. There was 15
minutes to play and Adare held a 1-17 to 2-12 lead. Jack Kelleher increased his
personal tally with two points to draw level, but Adare crept another point
ahead. The devastating blow was landed by Shane Hannon's goal, followed up by
points from Jason Gillane and Paul O'Brien. Patrickswell had claimed a 3-16 to
1-19 victory.
JUNIOR A HURLERS: Patrickswell produced a late recovery to beat Crecora

a trio of points from Peter Harty (0-2) and Cian Enright. The scoreline was 0-4
to 0-2 after twenty minutes. Crecora drew level after they scored another two
points. The game came to life when Cillian O'Reilly struck a 70 yard free that
eluded the goalkeeper and trickled into the net. The 'Well were a goal ahead,
yet Crecora ended the first half with three consecutive points. At the interval,
the match was deadlocked at 1-4 to 0-7.
The second half started in a similar manner. Crecora scored a point and Cillian
O'Reilly equalised immediately. However, Crecora had a purple patch and notched

with a point, but this was immediately countered by our opponents. Cian Enright
and Barry Foley trimmed the deficit to two points with only five minutes left.
Our unbeaten record in the City Division was in jeopardy. The game changed when

in the lead and the victory was cemented by a close-range Darragh Ahern goal.

points. Peter Harty (0-2), Paul Bennis, Jonathan McMahon and Cillian O'Reilly

Kirby racked up six points as the 'Well edged ahead by 0-9 to 0-8 after twenty
minutes. Shane Hannon's point extended the lead, but Kilpeacon equalised at 0-10
apiece. Patrick Kirby put his stamp on the final stages of the first half with
another five points just after Josh Carey scored. The half-time scoreline was
0-16 to 0-13 in favour of the 'Well.
Patrick Kirby's continued accuracy added three points at the start of the second
half. Patrickswell were looking very strong at 0-19 to 0-14. Kilpeacon stormed
back into the match when a goal and point trimmed the arrears to a single score
(0-19 to 1-15). Patrick Kirby was on hand to respond with another one goal and
two points to restore a 1-21 to 1-15 lead. Two points each were exchanged and
kept the margin at six points. Kilpeacon set up a grandstand finish with a
second goal, but Eoin Harmon closed the door immediately with Patrickswell's
second goal. The game was slipping towards injury time with the 'Well 2-23 to
2-17 ahead. Kilpeacon scored a third goal and reduced the deficit to three
points. Our defence held firm and Patrickswell won by 2-23 to 3-17.

when the Junior A hurlers beat Claughaun in the City League final. The match
started badly for the 'Well after Claughaun scored a goal within two minutes of
the throw-in. However, our opponents were devastated by a ten-minute spell where
Peter Harty registered an extraordinary hat-trick of goals. The scoreline after
15 minutes was 3-2 to 1-1. Claughaun narrowed the gap with three consecutive
points, but their recovery was halted by a point from Jamie Dillon and a fourth
goal and fresh point from Peter Harty. Patrickswell were now ahead by 4-4 to
1-4, before Claughaun closed the first half with two points.
The second half began positively for Claughaun as they notched another two
points and trimmed the deficit to five points. Owen McNamara, Darragh Ahern and
Paul Bennis struck a point apiece as Patrickswell matched Claughaun score for
score. With fifteen minutes left, Patrickswell were ahead by 4-7 to 1-11. The
five point margin was still a worry, before Anthony Carmody's men claimed seven
unanswered points to clinch the match. The scorers were Peter Harty (0-3), David
Woulfe (0-2), Jamie Dillon and Darragh Ahern. Owen McNamara lifted the trophy on
the back of a 4-14 to 1-12 triumph.

to 0-0 lead within five minutes. Doon registered their first point, but Mark
Carmody and Jack Kelleher stretched the lead to 0-5 to 0-1 for the visitors. The
East Men increased their tempo and were rewarded by five unanswered points. At
the midpoint of the first half, Doon led by 0-6 to 0-5. Kevin O'Brien equalised

of points; however Jason Gillane, Kevin O'Brien and Andrew Carroll restored the
Patrickswell lead at 0-15 to 0-14 with ten minutes left. The pendulum swung back
in Doon's favour as they struck two points. Jack Kelleher restored parity at
0-16 apiece to set up an exciting final five minutes. Due to a player injury,
the referee had to call a draw before time elapsed.
JUNIOR A HURLERS: Patrickswell picked up their second win of the City
Championship after a convincing win over Monaleen. Within ten minutes, the 'Well

points; however Gavin Carey and Jamie Dillon responded in kind. There were five

Enright secured two fresh points to ensure that Patrickswell reached the break
at 0-10 to 0-5 ahead.
The second half began favourably when Cian Enright's two points were followed by
an Owen McNamara goal. From an extremely tight angle, the forward slotted the
ball through the goalkeeper's legs. Patrickswell were nine points ahead at 1-12
to 0-6. Monaleen fought back with four unanswered points to slash the arrears to
1-12 to 0-10. The game was decided as a contest when Patrickswell rattled over
four points and Peter Harty struck a lovely goal from a narrow angle. The
scoreline was 2-16 to 0-11 with a few minutes left. Darragh Ahern closed out the
match with a late point. The City League Final and 3rd championship match will

SENIOR HURLERS: Patrickswell played out a tough draw against Kilmallock
in the All County Hurling League. Jack Kelleher opened the scoring with an early
point but the Balbec equalised shortly after. Chances were scarce, however Kevin
O'Brien and Jack Kelleher put the 'Well ahead by 0-3 to 0-1 after 15 minutes.
Kilmallock equalised with two consecutive points, before Kelleher added another
brace to push Patrickswell ahead by 0-6 to 0-4. The final act of the first half
was a Kilmallock point to close within a single score.
At the start of the second half, Kilmallock gained the upper hand and went ahead
for the first time at 0-7 to 0-6. Jack Kelleher equalised, yet the hosts notched
three straight points to lead by 0-10 to 0-7. Ciaran Carey's men increased their
tempo and levelled with points from Jack Kelleher, Calvin Carroll and Darragh
Ahern. The remainder of the match was keenly contested. Jack Kelleher and Mark
Carmody scored points that were sandwiched between Kilmallock points. With five
minutes left, the scoreline was 0-12 apiece. Jamie Dillon nudged Patrickswell
ahead, but Kilmallock equalised. Jason Gillane almost won the match, but our

23rd May 2019
SENIOR HURLERS: The Senior hurlers had a busy and mixed week with two
matches in four days. In the opening fixture, Patrickswell made the short
journey to Ballybrown in the All-County Hurling League. Darragh Ahern scored the
opening point within thirty seconds. However, Ballybrown blitzed the 'Well with
two goals in a minute that ultimately determined the course of the match.
Patrickswell settled themselves into the match and reduced the deficit to 2-1 to
0-5 after fifteen minutes. The Clarina men increased their tempo and dominated
the remainder of the first half, scoring a third goal and racking up more
points. At the interval, Ciaran Carey's men trailed by 3-9 to 0-7.
The second half began with a point from Kevin O'Brien; however Ballybrown
responded with three points in quick succession. Jack Kelleher kept the 'Well in
touch with three consecutive scores to make the scoreline 0-11 to 3-12. There
was a flicker of hope when Patrickswell notched their first goal, but Ballybrown
were able to maintain the gap. With ten minutes left in the game, Ballybrown
were cruising at 3-15 to 1-12. Jack Kelleher had a strong finish to the match,
scoring four unanswered points. The final result was a 3-15 to 1-16 defeat.
The next match was a rolled-up League and City Championship encounter with
Monaleen in Claughaun. There was a high tempo start to the match as early points
were exchanged. Monaleen's impressive penalty was immediately cancelled out by
Jason Gillane's close-range goal. Kevin O'Brien was in sparkling form as he
contributed three points to put Patrickswell 1-6 to 1-4 ahead after fifteen
minutes. Jack Kelleher, Andrew Carroll and Jason Gillane registered on the
scoreboard to put the 'Well ahead by 1-12 to 1-8 at half-time.
The second half began with an attacking onslaught from Patrickswell that
overwhelmed Monaleen. Paul O'Brien produced a goal within two minutes of the
restart, while Darragh Ahern and Jack Kelleher added fresh points. When Jason
Gillane's second goal of the contest hit the net, Patrickswell were 3-14 to 1-9
ahead. There was no reduction in effort, with Kevin O'Brien leading the charge
and racking up three more points to his personal tally. Paul O'Brien and young
Shane Hannon contributed more points before Kevin O'Brien dispatched a fourth
goal to the net. Monaleen closed the game with two points as the 'Well triumphed
by 4-20 to 1-15.
UNDER 14 HURLERS: The U-14 hurlers beat Newcastle West by 3-20 to 2-6 in

SENIOR HURLERS: The Senior hurlers made a winning start to the All County
Hurling League after a high-scoring and narrow victory against Ahane.
Patrickswell dominated the opening fifteen minutes and built a 0-6 to 0-2 lead
with points from five different players. Ahane edged themselves back into the
contest and began to match the 'Well point-for-point. Four points from Ahane
were countered by four points from Patrickswell via Jack Kelleher (0-2), Jason
Gillane and Darragh Ahern. The scoreline after twenty minutes was 0-10 to 0-6.
The teams continued to score freely as Patrickswell approached half-time with a
0-13 to 0-10 lead. However, Ahane scored a speculative equalising goal from long
range in the closing stages. Both teams traded points and reached the interval
level at 0-14 to 1-11.
The second half was barely two minutes old when Calvin Carroll scored
Patrickswell's first goal to open up a 1-14 to 1-12 lead. Ahane responded with a
flurry of points to draw level at 1-16 apiece on forty minutes. Jason Gillane
and Andrew Carroll notched points to build a two-point advantage, but Ahane
restored parity almost immediately. The middle of the second half was keenly
fought as the teams continued to be inseparable. As the match entered the final
ten minutes, the scoreline was 1-21 apiece. The game seemed to turn in
Patrickswell's favour when Kevin O'Brien's shot rattled the crossbar and dropped
kindly for Darragh Ahern to hit an empty net. To their credit, Ahane raced
upfield and equalised with a close-range goal. The spectators were looking
forward to an exciting climax to the match. The 'Well were able to outscore
Ahane in the last five minutes and won by 2-25 to 2-23. The next scheduled
fixture is on Saturday May 11 away to Ballybrown at 7pm.

JUNIOR A HURLERS: The Junior A hurlers made a winning start to the City
League when they won away to Monaleen. The hosts scored the opening point, but
Patrickswell raced into the lead with points from Jonathan McMahon (0-2) and
Cian Enright. Monaleen replied with two fresh points to equalise at 0-3 apiece.
While Darragh Ahern nudged the Well ahead once again, Monaleen were level
within a minute. The latter stages of the first half were controlled by the
Well as Cian Enright notched three points. At the interval, Anthony Carmodys
men were 0-7 to 0-5 ahead.
Patrickswell began the second half strongly and went 0-9 to 0-5 ahead when Cian
Enright and Darragh Ahern took their points. Monaleen narrowed the gap with a
point, but they were undone by a purple patch of four points from the Well.
The scoreline was 0-13 to 0-6 with ten minutes left on the clock. Adam Carrig
and Cillian OReillys points closed out the match and Patrickswell returned

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.

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 FΙILE: Our U-14 girls battled their way to a County

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

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 goalkeepers 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.

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 Fιile 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 Clubs Annual General Meeting was held
in the clubhouse with a healthy attendance present. Martin Ryan delivered his
final Secretarys 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 ORiordan, 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 Chairmans 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 ORiordan. In the years gone by, Kierans father Jimmy
Carroll had been Club Chairman. It was Kierans 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 Patrickswells 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 OBriens 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 OGrady lauded the Chairmans 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 Enrights funeral and
the respectful marshalling on the day. He also offered his deepest sympathies to
the family of Nelius Hayes. He spoke fondly about Muirnes work with Scor and
finally congratulated Martin Ryan and Seamus ORiordan 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 Limericks
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 ORiordan,
Assistant Secretaries Jim OHerlihy and Bernard Hayes, PRO James McCarthy,
Registrar Paddy Carrig, Culture & Language Officer Muirne Bennis and Health &
Wellbeing Officer PJ OGrady.
