This week's photo features the Ballinacourty U21 Football team that landed the 1979 Western and County Titles in what was an unprecedented year for football in the club. These titles were added to the Western Minor and County Senior Championships already secured. Early round victories over Stradbally and Brickey Rangers set up a Western Final against Kilrossanty at Fraher Field. A narrow 1-9 to 2-3 win was followed by a 2-8 to 2-4 triumph over Ferrybank in the County Final.
