Photo of the Week

1957 County Senior Hurling Championship Semi Final
Abbeyside Players (L to R): D. Whelan, T. Hogan, G. Flynn, T. Mansfield, L. Fraher, P. Clancy, L. O'Dea, D. Russell, N. McGovern, A. Flynn, D. Enright, B. Curran, J. Cashin, J. Hogan. D. O'Connor is playing in the band.

This week's photo brings us back to 1957 and shows the parade before the County Senior Hurling Championship Semi Final between Abbeyside and Erin's Own at Fraher Field. Due to a clash of colours, the Abbeyside team played in Ballinacourty jerseys. This did not unduly worry the Villagers who went on to win the match by 4-7 to 4-3.
