FAI Primary 5s – Girls Through to County Final
Our girls’ team were in action in the County semi-finals of the FAI Primary 5s tournament in Corbally earlier today.
In their first game, the team played very well and secured a 5-1 win over Patrickswell NS.
In the second game, an early goal for Dromcollogher NS put them in a good position. Herbertstown had a large amount of possession and were finally rewarded with a goal with around 2 minutes to go. At this stage, our girls were perhaps the most likely to go on and win the game but Dromcollogher made a fast break and got the all important goal to give them the win.
In the final game of the group, Patrickswell beat Dromcollogher NS 3-1.
With all teams tied on 1 win each scoring difference was used to decide the top team and fortunately our good win in the first game saw Herbertstown qualifying for the county final. Well done girls.
Well done to the team for their great performances over both days in Corbally.
3-in-a-Row for Herbertstown Girls
Congratulations to our girls’ football team who completed 3 South Premier titles in a row today in Martinstown.
The girls faced tough opposition in a determined Scoil Dean Cussen side. Two first half goals from Ellie Dooley and Emily Higgins helped Herbertstown to a 2.00 to 0.01 lead at the break.
The second half was very tense with scores at a premium. Bruff scored an early goal before Emily tapped over a point at the other end to set up a tense finish. A massive effort from the Herbertstown defence ensured that Bruff only added a further point and our girls held on for a 2.01 to 1.02 win.
The girls will now go on to represent the South in the County semi-final in November.
Roinn C Boys Final
Our boys were in hard luck in the Roinn C final earlier today. Manister were the opposition and an early goal by Conor Mulcahy gave Herbertstown the lead before Manister levelled to make it 1 goal a piece at half time.
A quick goal and point by Manister gave them the advantage early in the second half before Herbertstown rallied through a goal by Cormac Dundon. However, Manister finished the stronger by adding some insurance points which helped them hang on for the win.
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.
5th/6th Class Complete Dare to Believe Programme
5th & 6th class have completed the Dare to Believe programme which is designed by Team Ireland.
The programme teaches them about the Games, their values and they also got to know many of the athletes who will be representing Ireland in Paris.
Anthony Baggott Cup
Knockainey NS were winners of the 2024 Anthony Baggott.
This was Knockainey’s third time winning the tournament which took place during national Cumann na mBunscol Week. The traditional group of schools took part; Caherline NS, Knockainey NS, Hospital NS and of course our own side from Herbertstown NS.
Herbertstown NS reached the final after winning all three of their group games. However, Knockainey produced a very good second half display to win the final.
Next year will be the 10th edition of the tournament and we are already looking forward to that.
Double South Success for Herbertstown NS
A Roinn B South double was achieved by our hurling and camogie teams in Martinstown today.
Our hurling team had two wins over Athlacca NS and Galbally NS on the way to winning the title.
Our camogie team won a straight final against Galbally NS.
Well done to all involved!
