This week's photo shows the Abbeyside National School team that won the Sheehan Cup at Fraher Field in 1966 beating the combined Tallow-Ballyduff National Schools by 6-2 to 4-2 in what was a curtain-raiser to that year's County Senior Hurling Final. The Sheehan Cup, played for many years, was a trophy for National Schools hurling. To show the strength of the connection between club and school, many of the boys on this team subsequently went on to play with distinction on various Abbeyside / Ballinacourty teams down the years.
