Doon 0-21
Patrickswell 2-15
Reigning champions Patrickswell scored 1-1 late on to book their place in the semi-finals of the Limerick SHC at the expense of opponents Doon at the LIT Gaelic Grounds yesterday evening.
Doon looked to had done enough to secure a last four spot when leading 0-21 to 1-14 in injury time, instead they will contest the quarter-finals as Group 1 runners-up after Patrickswell staged a smash and grab in the end.
Aaron Gillane's goal followed by a Kevin O'Brien point rescued a very valuable draw for the 'Well. The sides couldn't be separated at the half time whistle either, 0-11 to 1-8.
