GAA Handball
Well done to our pupils who represented the school at the South Limerick Cumann na mBunscol One Wall blitz in John the Baptist CS today.
Each player did very well and we had medal winners in the girls 5th/6th class category.
Indoor Hurling
Well done to our two teams who played in the indoor hurling competition today in Martinstown.
Both teams were in action against Martinstown NS and Ballyagran NS and the boys’ team has qualified for the finals day next week.
Cumann na mBunscol Quiz
Well done to our quiz team who finished in second place at the county Limerick Cumann na mBunscol quiz in St Paul’s NS.
Our team were runners-up in last year’s edition as well, which highlights the high standard of sporting knowledge among our pupils!
Olympic Movement Breaks
3rd & 4th class had a fantastic time taking part in the Olympic Movement Break challenge recently.
Each daily movement break had a different athlete leading it and they were all different, fun and engaging.
County Mini 7s Finals
Our boys travelled to Rathkeale to represent South Limerick in the County INTO Mini 7s football finals.
They had three games against the winners of the City, East and West divisions.
In the first game, they were defeated by an excellent Roxborough NS team who would eventually win out the competition.
In game two, they were defeated by Broadford NS but played very well, possibly having a greater share of possession but did not register enough scores to trouble the West side.
In the final game, Herbertstown had a good win over St. Nessan’s NS to finish the competition in third place. Well done to the boys and their coach Mr. Franklin.
Larkin Shield
Massive congratulations to our pupils Sadhbh and Jocelyn who were part of the South Limerick team who won the Larkin Shield last evening in the Gaelic Grounds.
The South team defeated the East in a very close final on a score of 2.00 to 4 points.
Four Herbertstown Boys Represent South Limerick
Well done to our four representatives on the South Limerick panel who were narrowly defeated by Limerick City in the semi-final of the Sarsfield Cup.
It’s rare to have such a high representation from one school and this illustrates the ability of our pupils who made the team.
Well done also to Mr Franklin who did a lot of work coaching and preparing the team.
County Football semi-final
Hard luck to our girls who were defeated in the semi-final of the Celtic Image Shield in Rathkeale.
The girls gave a very spirited performance but met a strong Lisnagry panel who were the better team on the day. The girls can hold their heads up high, being easily the smallest school at that stage of the competition and for their fantastic record of the county semi-final for a fourth year in a row.
