Senior hurlers

Patrickswell produced a resolute display to beat holders Kilmallock in the final pool match of the County Championship.  The victory sent the 'Well directly into the County semi-final.

Cian Lynch opened the scoring with a point after twenty seconds, but Kilmallock equalised immediately.  Lar Considine and Cian Lynch helped to establish a 0-3 to 0-1 advantage, before Kevin O'Brien struck the net from close range.  When Aaron Gillane struck a point, the scoreboard displayed a healthy 1-4 to 0-2 margin.  Kilmallock were able to edge back into the match and narrowed the gap at 1-5 to 0-5.  However, Patrickswell increased their tempo and surged ahead with points from Jack Kelleher (0-2) and Aaron Gillane.  The lead was six points with five minutes to play in the opening half.  Kilmallock closed the half strongly and trailed at half-time by 1-10 to 0-9.

The second half was riveting spectacle.  The teams exchanged one point apiece in the opening stages.  Kilmallock showed their champions pedigree with four consecutive points to draw level at 1-11 to 0-14.  It seemed that Kilmallock would take charge, but Andrew Carroll and Peter Harty scored points to establish a 1-13 to 0-14 lead.  Once again, the Balbec found another gear and drew level with fifteen minutes to play.  Tom O'Brien and Lar Considine's points were cancelled out in quick succession as the teams remained inseparable at 1-15 to 0-18.

Patrickswell created some daylight when Aaron Gillane and Mark Carmody added points, but Kilmallock reduced the deficit with a point.  With the match almost over, Patrickswell led by 1-17 to 0-19.  Substitute Timmy Sheehan surged forward to strike a decisive point that brought a cheer from the Patrickswell support.  Deep in injury time, Kilmallock were awarded a dangerous free.  The Patrickswell defence stood firm and cleared the danger.  When the referee blew the final whistle, the 'Well had edged an epic encounter by 1-18 to 0-19.  Congratulations to the players and management.
