ALDI Posters completed
A sincere thanks to everyone who helped us with collecting ALDI Play Rugby stickers over the past few months. The competition ends this weekend and we have now filled the last poster we have here in the school. In all, we collected enough stickers to fill an amazing 8 posters. Each poster will give the school an extra entry into the draw for €50,000 and we will at the very least have secured new PE equipment for the school.
County INTO Mini 7s Finals
Well done to our girls who represented South Limerick in the county finals of the INTO Mini 7s camogie.

A great experience for the girls and another memorable outing for them.

Massive congratulations to the Herbertstown quartet who helped South Limerick to win the Neville Cup in Rathkeale yesterday. The South defeated the East in the semi-final and then overcame the challenge of Limerick City in the final.
