Photo of the Week

Noel McGovern's Jersey from the
1957 County Senior Hurling Final
L to R: Jack O'Donovan, Ben O'Donovan

On this day 55 years ago, 15th December 1957, Abbeyside played in its second ever County Senior Hurling Final against Mount Sion at Fraher Field. This week's photo shows Jack and Ben O'Donovan with the jersey worn by their grandfather, Noel McGovern, on the day. Although Abbeyside were defeated 2-10 to 1-2, there was great praise for Noel who nullified the threat posed by the great Frankie Walsh, restricting him to just one point, that being the final score of the game.
