Senior Hurlers

The senior hurlers ended their season on a high note by retaining the County Cup against Effin.  The game was evenly balanced after five minutes at 0-2 apiece (Diarmaid Byrnes and Tom O'Brien).  Patrickswell's forwards increased their tempo and were rewarded with two devastating goals in three minutes from Tom O'Brien and Aaron Gillane.  The scoreboard displayed a healthy 2-2 to 0-2 advantage after ten minutes and ultimately decided the match.

Effin responded with three points without reply to reduce the deficit to one goal.  Tom O'Brien (0-2) and Lar Considine restored the six-point lead with some fine scoring.  The remainder of the first half saw Effin chip away at the deficit, but the 'Well reached the interval with a 2-7 to 0-9 lead.

At the start of the second half, the teams exchanged four points each from Cian Lynch (0-2), Diarmaid Byrnes and Tom O'Brien.  There were twenty minutes remaining with Patrickswell holding off Effin at 2-11 to 0-13.  The outcome looked almost certain when points from Mark Carmody, Tom O'Brien and Lar Considine increased the margin to seven points.  Effin were not in the mood to lie down and trimmed the arrears back to four points with three unanswered scores.  Patrickswell were 2-14 to 0-16 ahead with ten minutes on the clock and Effin were still in the hunt.

 

However, the match was over as a contest when Tom O'Brien notched Patrickswell's third goal and Jack Kelleher, Pat Howard and Lar Considine contributed points.  The 'Well supporters were relaxed with the nine-point margin at 3-17 to 0-17.  The game closed with 1-1 from Effin and late points from Jack Kelleher, Tom O'Brien and Lar Considine.  Brian Murray accepted the County Cup from County Board Chairman Oliver Mann.  The final score was 3-20 to 1-18.  Well done to the players and management.                         

 

Junior A footballers

The Junior A footballers beat Galtee Gaels in a competitive County quarter-final encounter.  Galtee Gaels scored the opening point, but Patrickswell responded with five unanswered scores from Lar Considine (0-3), Kevin O'Brien and Barry Foley.  Galtee Gaels closed the first half with two points, but Patrickswell were 0-5 to 0-3 ahead at the interval.

Galtee Gaels dominated the start of the second half.  They scored one goal and one point to establish a slender 1-4 to 0-5 advantage.  Thankfully Patrickswell had sufficient skill and energy in reserve to respond with three points from Lar Considine (0-2) and Tom O'Brien.  With fifteen minutes left, Patrickswell were ahead by the narrowest of margins at 0-8 to 1-4 before the Gaels equalised with another point.  Significantly, Lar Considine struck three superb points to create some breathing space at 0-11 to 1-5.  Galtee Gaels settled for a point from a late free-kick, instead of aiming for goal.  There was a nervy ending as Patrickswell fended off dangerous Galtee Gaels attacks.  Their defending was resolute and the 'Well triumphed by 0-11 to 1-6.

The County semi-final against Glin takes place of Tuesday October 21 at 8pm in Mick Neville Park.
