Senior hurlers
Patrickswell were eliminated from the County Championship after a six point defeat to Adare.  Our opponents started brightly and scored three unanswered points within five minutes.  However, the 'Well responded with two points to close the gap.  Adare found an extra gear and claimed four more points to establish a strong 0-7 to 0-2 lead after fifteen minutes.

Patrickswell refused to panic and dominated the remainder of the first half.  Diarmuid Byrnes' ambitious 70 yard free surprised the Adare defence and sailed directly into the net.  Three additional points put the 'Well ahead by 1-6 to 0-8.  Adare were under pressure now, but they managed to reach the interval on level terms at 1-7 to 0-10.                

The second half began evenly as the teams exchanged four points each.  The outcome of the match was in the balance at 1-11 to 0-14.  It was anybody's game.  Unfortunately, Adare increased their tempo and produced a devastating goal and three points without reply.  With fifteen minutes remaining at the Gaelic Grounds, Adare held a commanding six-point lead of 1-17 to 1-11.

Patrickswell refused to surrender.  Our second goal from Tom O'Brien slashed the deficit to just three points (2-11 to 1-17) and suggested a grandstand finale.  It was a short-lived recovery as Adare plundered a decisive goal within one minute of the restart.  This goal was augmented by another three points to establish an unassailable 2-20 to 2-11 lead.  Kevin O'Brien's late goal was effectively the last act of the match.  The final score was 3-11 to 2-20.  Hard luck to the players and management.
