This week's photo shows the Ballinacourty Senior Football team that retained the County Championship in 1979. Wins over Rathgormack, Ardmore and Dunhill set up a final meeting with Ferrybank at Fraher Field in October.  After a titanic struggle, Ballinacourty emerged victorious by a single point, 1-12 to 1-11. To win two county titles in succession left no one in any doubt as to the quality of this group of players. A procession that evening to Ballinacourty was followed by a reception in St. Laurence's Hall, Ballinroad. The following night was the occasion of a big celebratory parade through Abbeyside.
