Patrickswell 1-26 Ballybrown 1-07

Patrickswell dished out a 19 points hiding to their fellow parishioners, Ballybrown, in a one-sided Limerick hurling championship final on Sunday.

It was their first win for 13 years and their 19th in total and for midfielder Barry Foley it was a case of rolling back the years.

Twenty years ago he played for Limerick in their All-Ireland final defeat to Wexford and yesterday the 39-year-old was the sole survivor of the last winning Patrickswell side 13 years ago.

Patrickswell had the opening two points courtesy of Cian Lynch and Aaron Gillane with a free.

Alan O’Connor and Stephen Foster made it 0-2 each but that was as good as it got for Ballyrbrown who trailed by eight points, 1-10 to 0-5 at the end of a half in which they had 12 wides when playing with the wind.

Kevin O’Brien had the goal for Patrickswell after 14 minutes following a move involving the entire full forward line.

By the time Ballybrown got their goal nine minutes from the end Patrickswell led 1-21 to 0-6.

Cian Lynch, Diarmuid Byrnes and Aaron Gillane shone for the winners and scored sixteen points between them.
