All Ireland Intermediate Handball Champion Páidí Quish visited the school in December to talk to the children about Handball. Páidí gave an excellent talk on the rules of the game and how the game has helped him see more of the world as it is played internationally. Páidí is a member of the Handball club in Hospital and some of our pupils are now planning to join!
Thanks to Páidí for taking the time to visit us.
Well done to Aaron Hanley who picked up a coveted Sarsfield Cup medal with South Limerick. The south defeated the East in the Gaelic Grounds.
Second & Third class went on a very enjoyable trip in October to the Hunt Museum & Limerick Fire Station. A Second class pupil Ericka had entered an art competition in the Hunt Museum and she won a prize of a guided tour of the museum for her class. The children enjoyed going on an ‘animal hunt’ in the museum where they had to find a number of animals which were depicted in paintings & statues.
On the way back to school, the class visited Limerick Fire Station. The firefighters were very generous with their time and gave the children a tour of the station and allowed them to use some of the equipment.
The Anthony Baggott Memorial Cup competition took place on Friday June 12th in Herbertstown. The well attended event saw 3 south teams, Herbertstown NS, Knockainey NS and Hospital NS joined by East representatives Barna NS to compete for the cup. There were many close contests before a final pairing of Hospital NS and Knockainey NS was decided.
In the final, a fine Knockainey NS team proved just too strong for Hospital NS who were impressive in their run to the final.
