Photo of the Week

Celebrating All-Ireland Glory!
L to R: Bridget Whelan, Austin Flynn, Bridget Flynn.

The All-Ireland Senior Hurling Final Replay takes place at Croke Park this evening. In acknowledgement of this rare event our photo this week comes from 1959 and records a family celebration following the replayed final of that year where Waterford beat Kilkenny 3-12 to 1-10. Austin Flynn, who played full back on the Déise team, is pictured with his mother, Bridget and Kathleen Whelan as they toast the Liam McCarthy Cup.
