Herbison was born in Antrim, Northern Ireland.[1] Her senior debut for Ireland came at the 1990 European Cup, against Denmark.[2] Against the same team at the 1991 European Championship, she took what were to be the best figures of her ODI career, 3/29 from 11 overs.[3] At the 1993 World Cup in England, Herbison played in all seven of her team's matches, taking four wickets at an average of 56.75. Her best figures at that tournament were 2/25 against Australia. Herbison remained a regular in Irish sides for several more years, playing her final ODIs against South Africa in August 1997.[2] At the 1995 European Cup, which Ireland hosted, she served as vice-captain to Miriam Grealey.[4]
