Liam MacCarthy Visits the School
We were delighted to receive a visit from the Liam MacCarthy Cup yesterday.
It was lovely to have the famous cup during Christmas week and it was a great reminder of the wonderful year the Limerick hurlers gave us in 2023.
An especially great occasion for both of our infant classes as it was their first time having the Liam MacCarthy Cup at the school.
Herbertstown NS Pupils Play for South Limerick
Well done to our three pupils who lined out with South Limerick in recent weeks.

Róisín played on the South Larkin team that lost the Larkin Shield final in the Gaelic Grounds.
County Football Semi-Final
Hard luck to our girls team who lost the county football semi-final to Monaleen in Mick Neville Park.
The game was played in difficult conditions and at half time Herbertstown were in front by one point. However, aided by a strong wind in the second half, Monaleen were able to edge in front and then held on for the win.
Well done to our team who were appearing in the county semi-final for a second year in a row which is a massive achievement.

South Mini 7s Football
Well done to our boys’ and girls’ teams who took part in the South Limerick INTO Mini Sevens competition today.
The boys lost a close game with Martinstown NS in the first round and this turned out to be the pivotal game in the boys competition as both schools won the remainder of their games against Ballylanders NS, Kilbehenny NS and Knockainey NS. That meant Martinstown retained their title and Herbertstown finished as runners-up.
Our girls were runners-up also as Kilbehenny NS edged a close game of the two schools in maroon. Both schools defeated Ballylanders NS and Knockainey NS who were the other schools who took part on the day.
