Mungret/St Paul’s GAA Club Notes:

Limerick Players:
Limerick Minor Hurlers will play Clare in the Munster MHC semi-final after they fell to a 0-20 to 1-14 loss to Cork at the TUS Gaelic Grounds on Tuesday 25 April. A win or draw would have put Limerick into the final but missed frees in the final stages cost them badly and they travel to Ennis in a week’s time as a result. Well done to Mungret St. Pauls players Sean Duff and Conor Crowley who are on the panel.

Mungret St. Pauls had a poor startas Mungret St. Pauls struggled to produce scores getting five points while Patrickswell hit double digits with 19 points by the end of the first 30 minutes. The second half was a better game for Mungret St. Pauls as they outscored Patrickswell in that half and even narrowed the gap to eight points. After two wins this was the first loss and leaves the Senior hurlers in third position on the league board with two matches to play.

Junior A Hurling:
Mungret St. Pauls 2-21 Ballybrown 1-7
It was out to Ballybrown on Saturday 29 April 2023 for our Junior A hurlers to play the hosts. This was an exceptional game for our team as they took on near neighbours Ballybrown. Mungret St. Pauls lead from the start and kept the pressure on Ballybrown making it difficult for them to get in many scores. After four games with two wins, a loss and a draw Mungret St. Pauls are on top of the League table on point difference with one game left to play at the end of May against Ahane.
