The Festive Season is upon us and there will be many sports documentaries and chances to look back at some great Hurling and Football games of 2014 but how about a chance to look back at the memorable 1989 Final that saw Cuala beat Vincents to claim their maiden senior hurling championship. 

While we look back this great occasion with fond memories and a great sense of pride we also remember three great Cuala servants in Brendan ‘Batty’ Ryan, Stephen ‘Sos’ Byrne and Mick Holden that have since passed away from the 89 team that brought Cuala to the first of their 3 Dublin Senior Hurling Championships.
