SENIOR HURLERS: Patrickswell have reached the County Championship semi-final after an entertaining victory over Doon. Kevin O'Brien struck the opening point within the first minute, but the 'Well were stung immediately by a Doon goal. The match was keenly contested in the opening fifteen minutes as the teams were inseparable at 0-7 to 1-4.  In the latter stages of the first half, Patrickswell scored three consecutive points to establish an 0-11 to 1-5 margin. However, the lead was short-lived as Doon retaliated with three unanswered points of their own. Thankfully, Aaron Gillane and Seanie O'Brien notched some points to cement a 0-13 to 1-8 half time advantage.

The second half began with an exchange of two points apiece as Patrickswell battled to pull away.  The decisive spell occurred when Nigel Foley, Jack Kelleher and Tom O'Brien scored points to build a five-point lead at 0-18 to 1-10.  Doon were running out of time and the fixture was effectively decided when Tom O'Brien's goal expanded the margin to eight points at 1-20 to 1-12.  Doon pressed forward and were rewarded with another goal five minutes from the end. The scoreboard read 1-22 to 2-14, but the recovery was snuffed out when John Flynn, Cian Lynch and Aaron Gillane raised the flag to enhance the score to 1-25 to 2-15 and a seven-point lead. The last act of the game was yet another Doon goal to close out the match at 1-25 to 3-15.

CAMOGIE: The Junior Camogie team lost out to Galbally in the County quarter-final by four points. The ladies played their hearts out for the entire game. The sides were all square at half-time with the 'Well looking the stronger team. Galbally scored from the second half throw-in and gradually kept extending the lead. Patrickswell fought hard at the end to come back. They are a fabulous and very talented young team that will be back next year.

Patrickswell had a busy weekend with the U-6s and U-8s.  The U-6 boys and girls travelled to South Liberties and great fun was had by all.  The U-8s travelled to Ballybrown for the U-8 County blitz. They were fantastic and won all their matches. Well done to all involved.

The U-6 and U-8 boys were out again in the Gaelic Grounds at half-time of the senior match. It's great to see our future stars playing in the Gaelic Grounds.
