Bloody Sunday- Dublin GAA Remembers

On November 21st 1920, 14 people went to a football match at Croke Park between Dublin and Tipperary. 

They never came home. 

This week, Dublin GAA and The GAA remember Bloody Sunday, on the 100th Anniversary of the tragedy. 

On Saturday morning, The Lord Mayor of Dublin joined Dublin GAA at Parnell Park to unveil two plaques and two wreaths, to remember the victims of Bloody Sunday: 

Our Senior footballers laid a wreath in memory of the victims of Bloody Sunday, following the Leinster Final: 

DubsTV's Bloody Sunday details the events of that fateful day, narrated by Dublin City Council's Historian-in-residence Cormac Moore. 

Watch it here: 

This week, we have also heard from family members of those who witnessed the events of November 21st 1920- and eyewitnesses to the events of that day, too:

A commemoration was also be held at Croke Park, before the Leinster Football Final. 

'In 90 seconds, 14 people lay dead and mortally wounded on the field and banks of Croke Park and on the streets outside. Tonight, 100 years on, we pause to remember them all: the 14 who went to a match, and never came home.'#B100dySunday pic.twitter.com/pjmQpt8EWc
