On the morning of Nov 21, 1920, IRA gunmen murdered 14 British intelligence agents and other members of the Crown forces in Dublin. That afternoon, police and soldiers turned up to the match between Tipperary and Dublin and 15 people were shot dead, including Tipperary fullback Michael Hogan, a woman and two boys.
