Our hurling team had two wins over Athlacca NS and Galbally NS on the way to winning the title.
Our camogie team won a straight final against Galbally NS.
Well done to all involved!
They had games against Scoil Mocheallóg (who had two teams) and Hospital NS. Hospital NS ran out impressive winners but our team played some great hurling and will have really benefited from the games today.
It was great to be part of the event where the winning team is presented with the Harry Greensmyth Cup. Harry did a huge amount of work to promote Gaelic Games, not only in South Limerick but especially in the parish here.
They had four games and finished with 2 wins, a draw and a loss for a very good overall performance.
Our girls’ football team made up of pupils from 4th & 5th class travelled to John the Baptist CS to take part in a fun blitz there.
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.
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.
