Girls Win South INTO Mini 7s Title

Congratulations to our girls’ footballers who won the South Limerick INTO Mini 7s competition earlier today in Martinstown.

The girls played some terrific football on their way to winning all their matches in a very tough group which featured Hospital NS, Knockainey NS, Ballylanders NS and last year’s County Mini 7s champions Kilbehenny NS.

Our boys’ team were also in action and they put in some great performances. In their first game they drew with Kilbehenny NS. A narrow defeat to eventual winners Ballylanders NS followed before they finished out their day with a win over Knockainey NS. Well done boys.

Finally, on a busy day of Cumann na mBunscol action for the school, our 3rd & 4th class girls played in a blitz in Hospital. This was a great experience for them with plenty more days out with the school’s teams ahead for them.

All Ireland title for Herbertstown N.S.

It was a proud night for HNS on Friday 6th March in Thurles with the school winning 1st prize for ‘Promotion Of Gaelic Games and Culture’ and 3rd place in ‘Small School of the Year’ in the Cumann na mBunscol awards ceremony sponsored by Cornmarket. Trophies were presented on the night with a total cash prize of €1000 also awarded to the school. Well done the the boys and girls for their participation and input into the winning entries, parents for always supporting games in the school and the staff for their hard work and commitment.
