Fitzgibbon Cup Visits Herbertstown NS
Herbertstown NS pupils get a chance to view one of the most famous trophies in the GAA.
Our first full after school training session in the ‘post-pod’ stage of the pandemic was a memorable one thanks to the visit of past pupil Conor O’Grady.
Conor is the first past pupil of the school to win a Fitzgibbon Cup medal. He was part of the victorious University of Limerick panel who defeated NUIG in the final last month. The famous cup was a big hit with the pupils and, who knows, some one of the pupils who was present at training could return with it again in the future.
*Joe Condon from Herbertstown was a Fitzgibbon Cup winner with Maynooth in the 1973. Joe attended national school in Lough Gur.
Hurling With James Ryan
Hurling coaching continued with James Ryan this week.
It is fantastic to have James with us to promote hurling and the boys and girls are showing great enthusiasm during their sessions.
