This week's photo shows the Abbeyside Senior Hurling team that qualified for the County Final in 1969. Early victories over Dunhill and Ballyduff-Portlaw saw the Villagers face champions Ballygunner in the semi-final. A comprehensive 3-17 to 3-4 win set up another final appearance against Mount Sion. Unfortunately, the hoodoo of the Monastery men continued as the city side ran out 7-11 to 2-13 victors at Walsh Park.
