Abbeyside give Mt Sion rude awakening

Abbeyside 3-9 Mount Sion 2-11

Mount Sion, with 34 senior hurling championship titles on their role of honour, were the raging hot favourites going into the game.

All the odds were stacked against Abbeyside, including tradition. Never in the history of the club had they beaten Mount Sion in a senior hurling championship side ­ losing to them in the county finals of 1955, ‘57, ‘65 and ‘69.
