This week's photo brings us back to 1951 and the Abbeyside Minor Football team (known as St. Augustine's Rovers at the time) that won the second of three consecutive County titles. En route to the final the boys beat Sliabh gCua, Dungarvan, Brickey Rangers and Kinsalebeg-Ardmore before a 1-5 to 1-0 victory over Na Brianaigh at Fraher Field in early December clinched the coveted title.
