Harry Greensmyth Cup
Well done to our hurlers from 3rd and 4th class who took part in South Limerick’s 3rd & 4th class competition earlier today.
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.
South – Boys Football
Well done to our boys who played in the Roinn A South Cumann na mBunscol blitz today.
They had four games and finished with 2 wins, a draw and a loss for a very good overall performance.
Busy day of Cumann na mBunscol activity
Herbertstown NS pupils were in action in three different places today.
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.

Liam MacCarthy Visits the School
We were delighted to receive a visit from the Liam MacCarthy Cup yesterday.
It was lovely to have the famous cup during Christmas week and it was a great reminder of the wonderful year the Limerick hurlers gave us in 2023.
An especially great occasion for both of our infant classes as it was their first time having the Liam MacCarthy Cup at the school.
Herbertstown NS Pupils Play for South Limerick
Well done to our three pupils who lined out with South Limerick in recent weeks.
Seán and Fionn played for the boys football team who lost the Sarsfield Cup semi-final to Limerick City. Mr. Franklin was a coach with this team also.
Róisín played on the South Larkin team that lost the Larkin Shield final in the Gaelic Grounds.
County Football Semi-Final
Hard luck to our girls team who lost the county football semi-final to Monaleen in Mick Neville Park.
The game was played in difficult conditions and at half time Herbertstown were in front by one point. However, aided by a strong wind in the second half, Monaleen were able to edge in front and then held on for the win.
Well done to our team who were appearing in the county semi-final for a second year in a row which is a massive achievement.
