Neville Cup Success
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.
In an added piece of history for our school, the South’s captain was a Herbertstown NS pupil. Eithne Neville was present in Rathkeale to present the cup named in her honour to Lucy.
Well done girls on a fantastic achievement.

The pupils in Mr English’s room have been working with clay in recent days and the first steps have been taken in creating pottery.
Herbertstown NS Hurlers Line Out for South Limerick
Well done to our two representatives who played for the South Limerick team in the Mackey Cup semi-final on Tuesday. The South were defeated by the West. It’s a great achievement to make a South panel and the boys should be very proud of themselves.
Well done also to our own Mr English who was part of the management of the team.
