5th/6th School Tour
The sun was shining for the 5th & 6th tour to Aquasplash in Dromineer yesterday
Anthony Baggott Cup
Knockainey NS were winners of the 2024 Anthony Baggott.
This was Knockainey’s third time winning the tournament which took place during national Cumann na mBunscol Week. The traditional group of schools took part; Caherline NS, Knockainey NS, Hospital NS and of course our own side from Herbertstown NS.
Herbertstown NS reached the final after winning all three of their group games. However, Knockainey produced a very good second half display to win the final.
Next year will be the 10th edition of the tournament and we are already looking forward to that.
1st – 4th School Tour
The 1st to 4th group really enjoyed their school tour to UL!
Busy day of Cumann na mBunscol activity

Well done to our team of hurlers who represented the school at the divisional stage of the Primary Schools Skills competition where they finished second. They now go on to compete in the county finals.
Back at school, training continued for the upcoming South blitzes and the Anthony Baggott Cup.

Congratulations to everyone involved in South Limerick’s win in the Mackey Cup yesterday. The South defeated Limerick City in the semi-final and then West Limerick in the final by a soliditary point.
Special congratulations to Fionn from Herbertstown NS who played a crucial role in the win.
Munster Final – Olympic Handball
Well done to our boys team who were runners-up in the Munster Olympic Handball Finals.
In the first round, the boys defeated Tipperary’s Lisvernane NS 7-6. In the second round, they had two goals to spare over Castledrum NS from Kerry, 6-4.
This set up a Munster Final with Crosshaven NS from Cork. Anyone present in the Neptune Stadium was treated to an excellent game of end-to-end handball, with the lead exchanging many times throughout the game. With a little over a minute left, our team were winning by a goal. Crosshaven scored and it looked like extra time was going to be needed but the Cork team managed to sneak a goal with the final play of the game to take the win. Crosshaven NS 8 Herbertstown NS 7.
Our boys were fantastic throughout the day and can hold their heads up high as one of the best teams in Munster.
Chess Team in Action
Well done to our chess team who took part in the Ficheall tournament in Scoil Dean Cussen yesterday.
