Ciaran Careyâs side were 0-9 to 0-6 ahead at half time after an opening 30 minutes that saw Jack Kelleher hit three points from play and another three from frees.
South Liberties relied heavily on Brian Ryan frees and only had David OâNeill, David Garry and Shane OâNeill scores from play in the entire game. Patrickswell ensured a fourth successive victory in the second-half with points from Limerickâs Munster U21 winning captain Diarmaid Byrnes, Lar Considine and Peter Harty.
In the second of a Gaelic Grounds double-bill, Adare got their first win of the season with a 2-15 to 1-15 victory over Doon.

Three late points from Declan Hannon ensured their first win, after three successive draws.
Murroe-Boher got their first win when a late Paudie McNamara goal helped them to a 1-13 to 1-11 win over Ahane in Caherconlish.
A Tom Morrissey goal had Ahane 1-9 to 0-6 up at half time.
Free-takers Mike Carr and Seanie Tobin exchanged scores throughout but Murroe-Boher had Pat Tobin and Diarmuid Byrnes on the mark to help them to a vital victory.
The weekendâs schedule opened with a 2-18 to 1-12 win for Ballybrown over Croom in Croagh.
Ballybrown were 1-8 to 0-7 up at the interval with Alan OâConnor getting their goal.
A second half goal from Shane Kenny ensured no fight back for Croom, who had a goal of their own from Conor Laffan."
Both?
Goals win games.
I have a feeling that the Well will win the county.
Have you seen them this year? I havenât yet. If Na P are prepared alright I canât see any team live with our forwards. But I think the well may be the best managed of any of the top four, CiarĂĄn is class.

Agreed. Prob a year too soon for the well.
One could argue Adrian Breen isnât one of Na P best 6 forwards. D Breen, Dowling, Downes, P Casey, R Lynch, D Dempsey. Serious depth.

Yup. Although maybe harsh on Adrian Breen, heâs performing very well for the club. Lynch and David Breen will probably both be left in the half back line. Casey will be in the starting line up from here on in and is a serious player.
