Limerick SH Semi-finals: Patrickswell left it very late to secure victory by 3-11 to 1-16 in their Limerick senior hurling championship semi-final clash with Croom - substitute Willie O'Dea levelling it up with a goal in injury-time before Eoin Foley sent over the match winning point just seconds later.

Croom had led by eight points at one stage but Patrickswell, going for a record equalling 19th county title, refused to give in.

Croom, with a ninth minute goal from Hugh Flavin, led 1-10 to 1-6 at the break, with Timmy Sheehan claiming the winner's goal on 30 minutes.
