SENIOR HURLERS: Patrickswell suffered a cruel late defeat to Doon in the Senior Championship semi-final at the Gaelic Grounds. Calvin Carroll and Cian Lynch scored early points as the 'Well made a positive start. However, Doon replied with a close-range goal to stem the tide. Diarmaid Byrnes and Aaron Gillane added their names to the scoresheet to put Patrickswell ahead by 0-4 to 1-0 after ten minutes. The middle of the first half was dominated by Gary Kirby's men with three unanswered points. With a quarter of the match played, Patrickswell led by 0-7 to 1-1. Young Calvin Carroll was in sparkling form and he was rewarded with two excellent long-range points. The game was keenly contested and Doon always stayed in contention. At the twenty minute marker, the 'Well led by 0-10 to 1-5. Over the next few minutes, Aaron Gillane and Calvin Carroll fired over points to maintain Patrickswell's lead. Unfortunately Doon dominated the last five minutes and they plundered a goal and four points without reply. The complexion of the match had changed significantly as the East Men now held a 2-10 to 0-12 lead. Aaron Gillane snatched the final point of the first half to keep the teams one goal apart.

 

The second half began with Patrickswell being kept at arm's length by Doon. Four points from Calvin Carroll, Diarmaid Byrnes, Tom O'Brien and Aaron Gillane were cancelled out by Doon to keep their three-point advantage at 2-14 to 0-17. There was another exchange of two points apiece as Patrickswell entered the last five minutes at one goal behind. The response was dramatic. Our All-Ireland trio of Aaron Gillane, Cian Lynch and Diarmaid Byrnes stunned Doon with three late points to equalise at 0-22 to 2-16. The referee indicated three minutes of stoppage time and every breaking ball was critical. The match was destined for a grandstand finale. Doon made the decisive breakthrough by scoring a point with fifty seconds left. The 'Well could not muster an equaliser and Doon scraped through by a solitary point. Hard luck to the players and management.
