Limerick GAA Notes - latest news from 21 different clubs
AHANE
FEILE: We hosted the group stages of Féile 2023 on Saturday April 15. We hosted Division 3 which saw us welcome Murroe-Boher, Knockaderry. Ballyagran, St Ailbes, Ballybrown, Kilmallock and Doon. We played Kilmallock, Ballybrown and Murroe-Boher. With fantastic team performances throughout we came out on top of our group which put us in the Semi Final against Doon. We put in one of the most complete performances of the day in the Semi Final and won out convincing winners to book our spot in the Final in Killeedy on Sunday against Ballybrown.
We hit the road for Killeedy on a gloriously sunny day with hopes and dreams that we would be coming home with the Division Three Féile trophy. Things got off to a rocky start as Ballybrown scored a goal and a point in quick succession. Isabelle Collins scored for Ahane from placed balls, but Ballybrown found the net once again to put the gap at five points. Isabelle found the net at the end of the second half but again Ballybrown scored a goal in response and at half time the teams went in on a score line of Ahane 1-2 Ballybrown 3-2.
The second half got underway, and our girls came out all guns blazing! Isabelle slotted over another free before Chloe Hussey got a point to add her name to the score sheet. Erin Madigan then got a lovely point, the first of her very important scores in the half. Chloe Carey popped up with a stunning goal and then tacked on a point to bring her tally for the day to 1-1. Ballybrown fought hard and scored a point from a free before getting a goal in the 23rd minute of the half which put them three points ahead, the game came down to a nail-biting finish as Chloe Hussey found the back of the Ballybrown net just a the clocked ticked over into injury time. It was shoulders to the wheel for the next three minutes as both sides fought to get possession of the ball and get that all important last score. However, it was Erin Madigan that secured possession for Ahane and ran for the Ballybrown half of the field where she calmly slotted over a beauty of a point that put her side one point ahead and secured own win.

CLUB LIMERICK: The closing date is fast approaching for the renewal of the Club Limerick draw for the first draw for 2023.Thank you to those who have renewed already.
CONDOLENCES: Ballybrown GAA Club are very sad to hear of the sudden passing of Patrick McNamara, better known as Packie Mac of Tervoe Clarina. We offer our condolences to Bryan, James, their families and all the McNamara family and friends.
Packie was a twin to his sister Ann. He was a proud father to Bryan and James. He was very proud of all his family and loved his grandchildren very much. Packie lived in Tervoe, just alongside the old boys school. He was a very hard working employee of Irish Cement Ltd.and took great pride in his job. He retired from the factory in late 2010. He was a very tidy and clean worker and had his own house and garden in perfect condition. Packie often worked a shift behind the clubhouse bar and was a great man to pull a pint.
He also helped with the club lotto every Monday night for several years. He was always available to support the Club when called upon. In Nov. 2015 he was one of the 24 in the club, who won a share of over €192,000, when five numbers and one lucky star came up in the euromillions draw. Packie was part of a band at one stage, and as well as being a good drummer, he had a very entertaining singing voice. He loved to sing a couple of songs at the annual senior citizens Christmas party in the clubhouse. He was also one of the organisers and entertained at the retirement Christmas party for Irish Cement Ltd. workers which was held every Christmas. During his lifetime he had to deal with a couple of major health incidents, which he fought bravely and recovered from. He was a very organised, a very exact and very dependable man.
He was very kind and generous and will be sorely missed by his family and friends and all who knew him in Ballybrown GAA and the local community ( tribute by Mick Roberts)

Crecora Manister responded with a point of our own soon afterwards. The first half continued at very high tempo by our team and midway through the 1st half the teams were drawn at 6 points apiece.
However, Oola snatched another point just before the half time whistle and entered the away dressing room 1 point ahead, 7 points to 6 being the score at the break. We upped our game a few gears and really increased the overall tempo of the second half. Despite fierce defence and offensive plays, Oola had more in reserve and scored a goal and 5 more points versus Crecora Manister’s 2 points.
Even though our team put in another fantastic performance, Oola had that extra edge on the day and the match ended with Oola as winners on a score of 1–12 to 0–8.

FEILE NA NGAEL:Mungret St. Pauls 1-3 Murroe Boher 1-7 It was a mixed bag of weather in Martinstown on Monday morning, 10 April 2023 when our U-15 Feile hurling team prepared for their fourth match of the weekend. There was a delay for the start as the match previous went into extra time which was when the heavens opened, it had finished raining by the time our boys got to take to the pitch. Murroe Boher settled into the game quicker than Mungret St. Pauls as we struggled to get the sliotar between the uprights. Murroe Boher had a bit of a breeze and were cleaner on their shots, a penalty was awarded to Murroe Boher and while our goalie got close to the sliotar it hit the net to extend the lead for Murroe Boher. Mungret St. Pauls failed to secure a score before the half time whistle with Murroe Boher 1-4 up. The second half was a much improved game for our players as they fought to bring themselves back into the game. A pointed free brought us onto the score board and other scores started to come only to have Murroe Boher point straight after. With a few tries to raise the green flag we eventually hit the back of the net, unfortunately time was running out and with Murroe Boher keeping the pressure on we needed a second goal to level but ran out of time and left our boys with heavy hearts as they bowed out of the Feile Final. Murroe Boher went on to win the Division 1 Cup later that day. Our U-15 hurlers have the Championship to look to now staring next week. Thank you to everyone who supported the players and coaches over the weekend, your presence at the side of the pitch was appreciated.
JUNIOR A HURLING: Mungret St. Pauls 1-14 Monaleen 2-13. This really was a game of two halves as our Junior A hurlers moved into Monaleens Clubhouse pitch on Monday 10 April 2023. Monaleen were in right form from the start and they built up a substantial score. Mungret St. Pauls were slow to get going but managed to get five points on the board before the half time whistle to Monaleens 2-9. The second half, Mungret St. Pauls pulled it out of the bag as they pushed hard and started to top up on their points, Monaleen only managed four points in this half with Mungret St. Pauls sending nine sliotars over the cross bar. With the forwards attacking the Monaleen goals the sliotar was eventually stuck into the net. The clock was ticking down and a goal was needed to give us a one point win, a close rang free was awarded to us as the final strike, it was hit toward the goal but was stopped before it got over the line, final whistle Mungret St. Pauls took a loss.
This teams are next to take on Ballybrown on Sunday 30 April in Ballybrown.
JUNIOR CAMOGIE: Our Junior Camogie team played Blackrock Effin on Easter Saturday in R2 of the league. Great to see the numbers of players available for selection on a bank holiday weekend. We started brightly against the wind with 3 points on the board the first 5 minutes without reply. Blackrock Effin responded well and at 15 minutes it was even stevens at 0-3 each. Some good team play and accuracy in front of the posts saw us go into halftime 0-8 to 0-4 ahead. A good start again in the 2nd half within 20 minutes we were 0-12 to 0-6 ahead. Its fair to say we were wasteful at times in front of goal and should have increased our lead. Blackrock are a good side and continually pressured out defence who worked well as a collective to deny them get any foothold and convert the attacks into scores. We finished strong adding a goal in the last few minutes ending with a win on a scoreline of 1-14 to 0-7.
U12 HURLING:Well done to our U12 Hurlers who had an early start this morning to travel to Croke Park where they got to play 3 matches and even managed to get a tour of the stadium. There were some very happy Tipperary supporters who got to meet Tommy Dunne as well. Thank you to the coaches who organised the travel arrangements and the stop off for supermacs on the way home.
U17 HURLING: Mungret St. Pauls 1-13 Killacoola Gaels 2-8 It was a very breezy Wednesday 12 April 2023 when Killacoola Gaels came into Mungret to play the second round of the Division 2 league. This was a tough game for our players as they had to bring themselves back into the game in the second half after going six points down, they managed to up their game and before they knew it they had the game level and squeezed in an additional two points to eventually win the game. After two wins they now top their group and wait for the other group games to finish to see who they next play.
U13 HURLING: On Thursday April 13 Mungret St. Pauls had 2 teams out in U-13 Hurling. Our thirteen year olds were on the Senior pitch against Bruff in the Division 2 group game where they played a strong game against a strong team. While Bruff opened the refs book first with a point Mungret St. Pauls used a full page for their scores. It was a great showcase of team work through out the game. Well done to the players on their second win, they next play Coshlea Gales on the 27 April at home.
Mungret St. Pauls 1-12 Bruff 1-2 Our twelve year olds fresh from their practice games in Croke Park a few days earlier welcomed Pallasgreen to the Crescent College comprehensive pitch, this was a game with some great scoring from both sides. Our younger players showed great fighting spirit playing a slightly stronger side and never let their game drop through out. They next play Caherline in Caherconlish on April 27.
INTERMEDIATE FOOTBALL: Mungret St. Pauls 0-18 Kildimo Pallaskenry 2-9. It was a dry evening on Friday 14 April when Mungret St. Pauls played host to Kildimo Pallaskenry in the second of their league matches. Mungret St. Pauls were first to score and kept the lead throughout, Kildimo Pallaskenry pushed hard with a goal in either half but were out scored in the end as Mungret St. Pauls never let up on working the ball up the pitch and taking a score when the opportunity arose. They are out next on Saturday 22 April against Clauhaun in Mungret.
JUNIOR A FOOTBALL: Mungret St. Pauls 0-12 Pallasgreen 1-5. On Saturday April 15 our Junior A footballers had home advantage when they played Pallasgreen. Both teams put in a solid game, Pallasgreen hit a quick three point score but Mungret St. Pauls were more on target on points and it was this that pushed them on to win the game, this win has left them top of the table after two wins from as many games. The next game is against Bruff on Saturday April 22.
DEVELOPMENT UPDATE: The final stages of the Ball Wall are taking place over the next couple of weeks and the works on the Astro Pitch will begin soon after. Currently the surface levelling is happening with all the machinery was on-site prior to the Camogie Easter camp, another busy morning in Mungret St. Pauls GAA.
CON AND ANNIE KIRBY: Well done to our players who took part in the Con and Annie Kirby Cic and Puc Fada on Saturday April 15 in the Limerick Greyhound Stadium. Going for the Puc Fada were Ava Reaboi and Sean Moriarty, for the Cic fada were Jack Houlihan and Ava Larkin, all four represented Mungret St. Pauls with pride but were unlucky to be out shot on the day.
NA PIARSAIGH
SENIOR HURLERS: Our senior hurlers were back in action on Sunday when they made the short trip to Monaleen to take on the locals. A good lively game with some fine scores on both sides.
It was great to see such a sprinkling of young lads on the team dotted around the experience of the older lads.
Our backs played very well superbly marshalled by Vince Harrington at full back and Mark O Connor and Gearoid Synnott either flank. Bradley Moran chipped in with 2 fine points to add to his very encouraging performance for the young man. Wayne Kearns at midfield added an extra dimension with Keith Dempsey while Josh Sheehan at wing forward also adding a point and adding smartly to a half forward who worked extremely hard. Kevin Daly and Dylan Lynch worked hard and proved good foils for Adrian Breen to profit chipping in with 6 points from play.
Others to see valuable game time were Pa O Neill who chipped in with two points and Marcus Hogan also showing well in what was a good outing for the lads. No doubt the addition of these young crop will satisfy the management as they prepare for the championship in the weeks and months ahead.
Final score in Monaleen was Na Piarsaigh 0-24 Monaleen 1-16 Scorers: Adrian Breen(0-6), Will Henn(0-8), Bradley Moran (0-2), Josh Sheehan(0-1), Keith Dempsey(0-2), Pa O Neill(0-2), Kevin Downes(0-1), David Dempsey(0-1), Wayne Kearns(0-1)
SENIOR FOOTBALLERS: No such luck for our senior footballers who fell to defeat at the hands of Claughaun on a 1-8 to 0-5 scoreline. A very poor first half performance with quite a few regulars not on view for this one. A much improved second half performance and no doubt will give the management plenty of food for thought. Next up for the lads is a trip to Monaleen next Sataurday at 3pm.
LOTTO: The jackpot stands at €2600 following last weeks draw. The numbers drawn were 03, 16, 26, 29. Lucky dip winners were Angela Keogh, Maire Lynch and Turlough Gormley. The sellers prize went to Maura Wall and door prize to Peter Boylan
