Limerick Primary Schools – Cross Country
Well done to all our participants in the Limerick Primary Cross Country competition at Limerick Racecourse yesterday.
Herbertstown NS pupils participated in events from u8 girls/boys to u12 girls/boys in difficult terrain and there were some great individual performances from each and every person who took part.
Each race had in the region of 50 entrants with a mass start so we were thrilled to come home with 3 medals from the day.
A New iPad!
Thank you to the PA for raising funds to purchase a new iPad for the pupils in the school.
Tina Stokes(chairperson) and Deirdre O Donoghue (secretary) presented the new device to pupils today.
Hospital/Herbertstown U12s Bring Harry Greensmyth Cup to School
The pupils who were involved in the blitz last Saturday brought the Harry Greensmyth Perpetual Cup to the school this week.
The cup was awarded to Hospital/Herbertstown following a very entertaining blitz in Hospital. Harry was also remembered earlier in the year by the awarding of a cup to the winners of the South Limerick Primary Schools 3rd & 4th class tournament.
It was great to have the two cups present in the school as Harry was so heavily involved in coaching both in the club and the school.

Cross Country Trials
Well done to everyone who took part in our Cross Country trials this morning in testing conditions.
The level of effort and determination shown by all participants was very high in what was a new type of event for the majority of our pupils.
A team will now be drawn up to represent the school at the Limerick Primary Schools Cross Country event in October.
Chess Club
Our lunchtime chess club is now up and running every Friday.
Harry Greensmyth Cup
Herbertstown NS were the inaugural winners of the Harry Greensmyth cup today.
The cup is awarded to the winners of the Roinn A South Cumann na mBunscol 3rd and 4th class blitz which was played this year for the first time.
Knockainey NS, Ballylanders NS, Kilfinane NS, Galbally NS and Herbertstown NS participated in the competition which was played in Martinstown.
Near neighbours Knockainey NS and Herbertstown NS met in the final which was keenly contested with Herbertstown emerging as winners.
Christina Greensmyth, wife of the late Harry, presented the cup to the Herbertstown captain. Harry’s name was synonymous with GAA in South Limerick and beyond and it is fitting that he is honoured for his service to our national games.
