This week's photo shows the Abbeyside Minor Football team that completed a three-in-a-row of County Championship wins in 1952. Controversy surrounded the Western Final where Cappoquin arrived late with the game being awarded to Abbeyside. The Western Board sanctioned a replay but were overruled by the County Board who gave the game to Abbeyside. In the County Final, the Village boys won a tight contest, 3-1 to 2-2 against Na Risigh.
