Peter Casey led Na Piarsaigh’s challenge with an imperious six from play, but it wasn’t to be the Caherdavin side’s day.
They sides were level three teams in the opening 11 minutes, but scores from Thomas O’Brien and Considine put Patrickswell 0-5 to 0-3 ahead.
The ‘Well were then further boosted when Considine fired in a stunning goal that stretched their lead to five.
That advantage stood at six points at the break (1-9 to 0-6) with both sides nowhere near their top level.
Na Piarsaigh hit their only purple patch with the first six scores of the second half and also held their opponents scoreless in the opening 20 minutes.

A long range Diarmaid Byrnes effort from play got Patrickswell back on track and a Gillane free then extended that advantage to two.
Casey brought the margin back to one again, but Considine, Gillane and an outstanding Cian Lynch point saw them 1-14 to 0-13 ahead with four minutes remaining.
