Congratulations to our boys and girls who retained their South Limerick Roinn B hurling and camogie titles in Martinstown.
The girls defeated Galbally NS in the final of the camogie.
The boys won two tight games against Athlacca NS and Galbally NS on the way to winning the hurling.
They have completed some excellent work including focus on famous mountaineers Edmund Hillary, Tenzing Norgay and Kenton Cool.
Well done to our boys who represented the school in the Harry Greensmyth Cup today in Kilmallock.
The boys had four games against Galbally NS, Croom NS, Hospital NS and eventual winners Banogue NS.
It was the first game in the maroon and white for some of the players and hopefully they will have many more games for the school in the years ahead.
We had super performances throughout the day in lovely sunshine.
Our girls continued their memorable sporting year by representing Limerick in the FAI Primary 5s Munster Finals in Cahir.
After two close games in the group stage, a win and a loss left all three teams level on points. It was decided that a penalty shootout would be used to determine who would go into the semi-finals and unfortunately this was where Herbertstown exited the competition.
The girls were excellent throughout the day and were very unlucky to miss out on progressing. They have been fantastic ambassadors for our school and county Limerick throughout the year.
10 teams made up of pupils from third to sixth class took part, taking on 8 rounds of 8 questions each.
Congratulations to our winning team!
Here was the picture round from the quiz:
The girls won all four of their games against Kilcolman NS, Tineteriffe NS, Bilboa NS and Scoil Ide Naofa.
Herbertstown will now go forward to represent Limerick in the Munster finals in Cahir on May 7th.
This is the fourth county title won by our girls (Celtic Image Shield, INTO 7s, Olympic Handball & FAI Primary 5s) in what has been a memorable year for them and everyone in the school.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t to be for either the South boys or girls in the Mackey Cup or Neville Cup but it is a fantastic achievement to play for the South team and Gearóid, Ellie and Emily should be very proud of themselves.
