County INTO Mini 7s Finals

Staff

Well done to our girls who represented South Limerick in the county finals of the INTO Mini 7s camogie.

Herbertstown picked up a win in the first game against Crecora NS. Two defeats followed to strong opposition in Ballybrown NS and Killoughteen NS. The West champions Killoughteen were overall winners on the day.

A great experience for the girls and another memorable outing for them.

The next items on the Cumann na mBunscol calendar for the school teams will be the Roinn A hurling and football blitzes in May.

Massive congratulations to the Herbertstown quartet who helped South Limerick to win the Neville Cup in Rathkeale yesterday. The South defeated the East in the semi-final and then overcame the challenge of Limerick City in the final.  

In an added piece of history for our school, the South’s captain was a Herbertstown NS pupil.  Eithne Neville was present in Rathkeale to present the cup named in her honour to Lucy.

Well done girls on a fantastic achievement.
