Patrickswell 1-26
Ballybrown 1-7
THEY ARE ONE of the aristocrats of Limerick club hurling but Patrickswell have had to endure a barren spell in recent years.
Since winning the county final in 2003 they endured frustration in trying to claim silverware, not least when losing out by a point in the 2015 decider to the eventual All-Ireland champions Na Piarsaigh.
But the ‘Well are back on top of Limerick hurling after demolishing Ballybrown by 19-points to take the honours in today’s decider at the Gaelic Grounds.
