Once again, this cursed Covid-19 has struck the Bloody Sunday centenary commemorations. Today was due to see a plaque unveiled in honour of Jimmy McNamara at Cahir GAA club.

As part of the Tipperary committee’s plans to mark this important year, a wreath was to be laid at the grave of the 1920 All-Ireland SFC winner on the 91st anniversary of his death. It’s a ceremony the group intended on extending to Michael Hogan and all of his fellow team-mates that played against Dublin that fateful November 21 day in 1920.
