This week's photo shows the Abbeyside Minor Hurling panel that won the 1976 Western and County Titles. The Divisional Final played at Cappoquin in August saw the boys win a tight game by 3 points, 1-7 to 1-4. The County Final followed in September where Roanmore were defeated by 2-15 to 3-6. This fine team completed a Minor Double with Western and County victories in football against Affane and Cúchullainn respectively.
