There was a special appearance on Saturday evening in Mungret St Pauls as a Kerry and Laois masters football match was played. This was an enjoyable game made even more special when we had our own Junior Footballer, Noel Kelly take to the pitch in the Kerry jersey. Kerry took the win with ease in the end.
Congratulations to St. Nessans U-13 hurlers on their Sheild win over Milford last week.
There was a challenge hurling match between St. Pauls and Patrickswell national schools. We had players on both teams with the game ending in a draw.
Well done to all our players who have represented their schools during the year.
The Limerick Camogie team headed to Cappamore on Saturday to meet Offally camogie in the GlenDimplex All Ireland Round 3 (Pride Round)
MSPCamogies Ailbhe Larkin and Aoife Morrissey along with their team mates were delighted to come away with their first win after a ding-dong tussle that could have gone either way, to give themselves a chance of reaching the final six. It was a notable turnaround for Limerick, given that the Faithful women had banished them to Division 2 of the National League with a loss two months ago. Full time score: Limerick 0-11 Offally 0-9

Mungret St. Pauls 4-3 Ballybrown 1-4
On Sunday 19 June 2022 our older team welcomed neighbours to the senior pitch. Mungret St. Pauls held the play book for most of this game but with a lot of wides in the first half and the aid of a strong breeze they could have distanced themselves more as Ballybrown came back stronger in the second half but Mungret St. Pauls kept the pressure on and secured a good win.

Into the final quarter Mungret St. Pauls saw themselves down to 14 men for ten minutes and Ballybricken Bohermore hit hard with four points.

JUNIOR FOOTBALL
Mungret St. Pauls 1-13 Croom 3-9
On Friday 17 June 2022 our Junior footballers and Croom met in Na Piarsaigh for the County Intermediate Football League Final, Croom were strong for most of the game but their laps in play was where Mungret St. Pauls pulled themselves back into the game. Even into the final minutes of the game it was still anyone’s game to win as Mungret St. Pauls finished well.
Croom had scored a goal and four points before Mungret St. Pauls pointed a placed ball to get the score board working added to it with another 2 points Croom hit the net for a second time. A run of scores from Mungret St. Pauls ending with a goal leveled the game and with one final score for Croom before the break was the only point separating the sides.
The game opened with a point for Mungret St. Pauls and then Croom powered ahead again with another goal and three points. Five pointed frees for Mungret St. Pauls followed with just the one point between the sides again and time running out. It was a Croom kick out and unfortunately for Mungret St. Pauls it was Croom that won possession and sealed the game with a final point. Well done to the players, management and supporters.
