Original Match Ticket
In 1920, Tipperary and Dublin were two of the best teams in the country. The political situation at the time saw very few GAA championships completed.
Tipperary had qualified for the 1920 Munster semi-final but the military refused to grant permission for the match to take place. Tipperary needed a challenge game and looked to Dublin, a team that had already qualified for the All-Ireland final.
On 1st November, a letter from the Tipperary team appeared in the Freemans Journal newspaper: We understand that Tipperary s superiority over Dublin in football, despite two decisive victories is being questioned by Dublin. We, therefore, challenge Dublin to a match on the first available date, on any venue and for any object .
