Mungret St. Pauls 1-16 Patrickswell 0-21

On Wednesday 12 August 2020 our U-21 hurlers took to the LIT Gaelic Grounds when they played Patrickswell in the Semi Final. It was just over five months since this team last played and unfortunately it was not Mungret St. Pauls game.

Mungret St. Pauls started with the warm sun behind them as they played into the City end. Neither side could be divided in the first half with both teams taking the lead throughout but on the half time break the score was 9 points each.

The second half was Patrickswells game while Mungret St. Pauls had a chance on goal, the Patrickswell goalie got a touch to the sliotar to keep it away. Patrickswell kept at least 2 points ahead of Mungret St. Pauls majority of the second half. There was a glimmer of hope in the last two minutes of normal time as there was a placed ball, it was sent to the far side of the pitch and them aimed toward the Patrickswell square where it traveled a bit further but picked up by a red jersey and shot through 2 Patrickswell players and came to a halt in the bottom left of the goal net. This saw Mungret St. Pauls only one point behind but with time ticking away there was only one more score from Mungret St. Pauls with Patrickswell continuing on with another three and taking a place in the Final.
