Congratulations to the winning team of the GAA themed quiz we held on Friday to mark the end of Cumann na mBunscol Week.
The team scored an impressive 46 out of a possible 54 points!
They received a wonderful prize of an Allianz ‘Stop the Drop’ jersey each.
This was Knockainey’s third time winning the tournament which took place during national Cumann na mBunscol Week. The traditional group of schools took part; Caherline NS, Knockainey NS, Hospital NS and of course our own side from Herbertstown NS.
Herbertstown NS reached the final after winning all three of their group games. However, Knockainey produced a very good second half display to win the final.
Next year will be the 10th edition of the tournament and we are already looking forward to that.
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!
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.
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.
The boys lost a close game with Martinstown NS in the first round and this turned out to be the pivotal game in the boys competition as both schools won the remainder of their games against Ballylanders NS, Kilbehenny NS and Knockainey NS. That meant Martinstown retained their title and Herbertstown finished as runners-up.
Our girls were runners-up also as Kilbehenny NS edged a close game of the two schools in maroon. Both schools defeated Ballylanders NS and Knockainey NS who were the other schools who took part on the day.
