They will talk about all those glory days and when they played the game they love.
They will also remember the lads who are no longer with them
The average age of team back in 1978 was about 16-years-of-age and only a few of the players were 18 years and the rest ranged from 15 to 17 years-of-age.
Their 40 anniversary will be celebrated on Saturday July 14 while the boys cheer on the 2018 Crookhaven side when it plays Wreck Bay at Sanctuary Point in front of a huge crowd of fans.
The match is scheduled to take place during NAIDOC week.
