Well done to our boys who were in South Limerick Cumann na mBunscol action yesterday.
The boys defeated Galbally NS in the first round to set up a winner-takes-all clash with the reigning champions, Athlacca NS.
Herbertstown and Athlacca played out a great contest with Athlacca shading it on a scoreline of 2.04 to 1.04.
Well done to the boys and their coach Mr Franklin. They still have the INTO Mini 7s county final to look forward to in November.
Anthony Baggott Cup 2025
Knockainey NS retained the Anthony Baggott Cup on the occasion of the 10th staging of the tournament.
The hosts Herbertstown NS were joined by neighbours Knockainey NS and Hospital NS along with newcomers The Monastery School from Tipperary Town.
In round 1, Hospital NS produced a strong second half performance to pull away from Herbertstown NS. On pitch 2, Knockainey got off to a strong start with a good win over The Monastery.
In round 2, Knockainey continued winning ways by beating the hosts while Hospital got their second win over The Monastery.
Round 3 only saw one game being played as Hospital and Knockainey had qualified for the final. Herbertstown and The Monastery played out a great game of end to end action.
Final
Hospital NS, who have taken part in all 10 of the tournaments to date, were looking for their first win and looked in pole position to do so heading into the final minutes of the game. However, Knockainey NS struck a goal from a free to bring the game to extra time.
Knockainey were awarded a penalty early in extra time and after this was emphatically drilled to the net they did not look back and finished strongly to retain their title.
Congratulations to Knockainey NS and thank you to everyone who supported our tournament.
Harry Greensmyth Cup
Well done to our boys who represented the school in the Harry Greensmyth Cup today in Kilmallock.

South Limerick – Hurling & Camogie
Well done to Gearóid, Ellie and Emily who represented the school on South Limerick teams.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t to be for either the South boys or girls in the Mackey Cup or Neville Cup but it is a fantastic achievement to play for the South team and Gearóid, Ellie and Emily should be very proud of themselves.

Cumann na mBunscol Quiz
Well done to our quiz team who performed fantastically well at the inaugural Allianz Cumann na mBunscol Quiz.
In this new event on the Cumann na mBunscol calendar in Limerick, twenty one teams took part and heading into the final round our team were vying for first place. In the end, they had to settle for the runners-up position having won a playoff.
The boys had done a lot of preparation in the lead up to the event and their hard work was rewarded with their great result.
