Kallie Herbert from Lanesboro who played at halftime during the All-Ireland hurling final between Cork v Clare in Croke Park on Sunday last. Kallie was a student in Lanesboro primary school up until the summer holidays as she will be going into 1st year in Lanesboro Community College in September.

Kallie competed in an indoor hurling league during last winter for Lanesboro Primary School and was picked to represent not only her school (Lanesboro Primary School) but the county of Longford during the All-Ireland hurling final. Kallie had a wonderful day in Croke Park and played in front of 82000 people, she was very nervous naturally but all the seemed to disappear once she got onto the pitch. Kallie's first love is actually Gaelic football as she plays for Rathcline GAA.
