Confident Patrickswell fancy their chances of title

PATRICKSWELL have dominated the Limerick Senior Hurling Championship since they burst onto the scene in the mid 1960s, but have failed to match that success at provincial and national levels.

Gary Kirby and Anthony Carmody, who shared in the majority of their triumphs, are now almost at the end of illustrious careers. The word is that the duo, with 22 county SHC medals between them, will bow out when the Well end this campaign.

This will only be the second competitive meeting between Mount Sion and Patrickswell. With home advantage the Limerick side, under the stewardship of Clareman Jim Fawl, fancy their prospects.
