3rd & 4th class had a fantastic time taking part in the Olympic Movement Break challenge recently.
Each daily movement break had a different athlete leading it and they were all different, fun and engaging.
Activities
County Mini 7s Finals
Our boys travelled to Rathkeale to represent South Limerick in the County INTO Mini 7s football finals.
They had three games against the winners of the City, East and West divisions.
In the first game, they were defeated by an excellent Roxborough NS team who would eventually win out the competition.
In game two, they were defeated by Broadford NS but played very well, possibly having a greater share of possession but did not register enough scores to trouble the West side.
In the final game, Herbertstown had a good win over St. Nessan’s NS to finish the competition in third place. Well done to the boys and their coach Mr. Franklin.
Larkin Shield
Massive congratulations to our pupils Sadhbh and Jocelyn who were part of the South Limerick team who won the Larkin Shield last evening in the Gaelic Grounds.
The South team defeated the East in a very close final on a score of 2.00 to 4 points.
Four Herbertstown Boys Represent South Limerick
Well done to our four representatives on the South Limerick panel who were narrowly defeated by Limerick City in the semi-final of the Sarsfield Cup.
It’s rare to have such a high representation from one school and this illustrates the ability of our pupils who made the team.
Well done also to Mr Franklin who did a lot of work coaching and preparing the team.
County Football semi-final
Hard luck to our girls who were defeated in the semi-final of the Celtic Image Shield in Rathkeale.
The girls gave a very spirited performance but met a strong Lisnagry panel who were the better team on the day. The girls can hold their heads up high, being easily the smallest school at that stage of the competition and for their fantastic record of the county semi-final for a fourth year in a row.
Fourth South Premier Title in a row for Herbertstown Girls
Congratulations to our girls who retained the South Premier football title today following a win over Bruree NS.
The final took place in Martinstown and pupils from second class to sixth class joined a good number of parents to support the girls.
The first half saw end-to-end action for the initial stages with a vital save by Neala in the opening seconds denying Bruree a dream start. Then a sustained spell of pressure, with scores from Sadhbh, Lucy, Carley, Lily and Lucie started to give Herbertstown a lead. With almost the last kick of the first half however, Bruree got a goal to give a half time score of Herbertstown 3.02 Bruree 2.02.
Playing with the wind in the second half, Herbertstown started to pull away, with scores from Carley, Lucie and Sadhbh propelling the team to victory.
Afterwards, referee Ger Murnane presented the cup to our captain.
This is the fourth Premier title in a row for the school which is a tremendous achievement.
Girls Qualify for Premier Football Final
Well done to our girls’ football team who have qualified for a fourth South Premier football final in a row.
A fantastic achievement. They will play Bruree NS in the final next week.
