This week's photo shows the Abbeyside U14 team that captured the Western Hurling title in 1977. A first round win over Tallow saw the young lads qualify for the Western Final against near neighbours, Dungarvan. A 5-3 to 1-1 victory meant a third divisional title for the club at this grade. Defeat to Mount Sion in the county decider was avenged one month later as the footballers beat the Monastery men, 1-7 to 3-0, after a replay in the county final played at Fraher Field.
