The second half was another close encounter, but the 'Well gained the upper hand after the water break and claimed victory by 0-19 to 1-12.

 

The County League semi-final against Ballybricken-Bohermore was a stern test of the City champions. Our opponents took the lead with a point after one minute, but John Kirby equalised immediately. Ballybricken-Bohermore took advantage of a sixth minute penalty to establish a 1-2 to 0-1 lead. Darragh Ahern's point was countered by two points from Ballybricken-Bohermore, although John Kirby and Peter Harty were on hand to cancel out those scores. The decisive part of the match was the middle of the first half when our opponents accumulated 1-2 and Patrickswell failed to score for ten minutes. In the 20th minute, the 'Well were 2-6 to 0-4 behind. John Kirby and Paul O'Brien trimmed the deficit with another two points, but these scores were matched by Ballybricken-Bohermore.
