Patrickswell GAA Club Notes:
Junior A Hurlers:
The Junior A hurlers recorded a comprehensive away victory over Kilteely-Dromkeen in the City East Intermediate Hurling League. A key factor was the stiff breeze, which Patrickswell survived in the first half and exploited fully in the second half. The ‘Well made an excellent start and took a three point lead within five minutes from Eoin Harmon, Peter Harty and Cian Gorman. The hosts notched their first point, but Eoin Harmon and Gavin Carey established a 0-5 to 0-1 margin by the 10th minute. A trio of points from the accurate blade of Eoin Harmon placed Patrickswell 0-8 to 0-2 ahead by the 20th minute, but the home time equalised with six unanswered points in just six minutes. Thankfully, Eoin Harmon, Peter Harty and Cian Gorman allowed the visitors to reach half-time at 0-11 to 0-9 ahead.
The second half started with a brace of points from Kilteely-Dromkeen and they were only a point in arrears. David Woulfe, Cian Enright and Gavin Carey rattled three consecutive points in two minutes to open a 0-14 to 0-11 gap by the 40th minute. The home team’s next point was answered in style by a Gavin Carey goal and a Peter Harty point. Patrickswell were 1-15 to 0-12 ahead in the 45th minute. The game was decided as a contest with a second goal from Sam McNamara and a point from David Woulfe. There were ten minutes left and Patrickswell held a 2-17 to 0-14 lead. The visitors closed out the match with seven points in seven minutes (Cian Gorman 0-2, Cian Enright, Eoin Harmon, Conor Robinson, Peter Harty and Sam McNamara) to seal a convincing 2-24 to 0-16 win. The next match is against Caherline at home on Monday April 24 at 6.45pm.
