This week's photo shows the Abbeyside Junior Hurling team from 1946. The players pictured here were the first to wear the blue and gold hooped jerseys which all Abbeyside hurling teams have worn since.  A promising campaign ended with a 3-3 to 1-2 defeat in the County Final to Butlerstown at the Gaelic Field in Waterford.
