Indoor Hurling
Well done to our boys team who participated in the indoor hurling competition today in Martinstown.
Following games against Knockainey, Ballylanders and Knocklong our team qualified for the finals of the south indoor hurling competition next week. Well done boys!
Harry Greensmyth
The staff of Herbertstown National School would like to extend their sympathies to the family of Harry Greensmyth who passed away last night.
Harry gave tremendous service to Gaelic Games in the school in the past through coaching and assisting in the fielding of teams in Cumann na mBunscol competitions. Harry was also the point of contact for the school in reporting results to the local papers. More recently, Harry helped the school complete a record of participation by the school in south & county competitions in Gaelic Games going back to the 1970s. An array of resources and journals were consulted to create this extensive record and Harry was very generous with his time in facilitating this research.
Ní bheidh a leithéid ann arís.
Indoor Camogie
Our girls represented the school today at the South Indoor Camogie blitz held in Martinstown.
The team lost narrowly to eventual finalists Effin and Knocklong. Well done girls.
FAI Primary Soccer 5s
Well done to our boys and girls teams who participated in the SPAR FAI Primary Soccer 5s yesterday in Corbally.
Both teams performed very well, with our boys team qualifying for the next stage. Thanks to team mentors, Mr. Davern and Herbertstown AFC’s Mike Bermingham.
