FACTS

• Nearly 15,000 people were at the match when the shooting started.
• The British made a terrible accusation,saying that an I.R.A man shot into the air.

In the morning British intelligence heard of assassinations of British officers. They heard of a big GAA match. They quickly planned to stormCroke park. The first killed was a boy who was watching the match from a tree. The image in the background show the victims of “the murder gang”, that morning.

The Black and Tans are a WW1 veteran group deployed to Ireland on behalf of the crown to implement force.

R.I.C

• The R.I.C was the police force in Ireland from 1822 to 1922.The R.I.C,Auxiliaries and Black and Tans raided the match in Croke Park and opened fire on the spectators.

The British ambushed a house containing names of members of the I.R.A. The I.R.A members in the house destroyed the evidence which would have made the British excel in defeating the revolution.

BURKE VS HOGAN

• Dublin vs. Tipperary.Mick Hogan gets asked to mark Dublin’s best player Franke Burke, but wants to switch with bill ryan.

90 SECONDS OF SHOOTING

• The shooting lasted 90 seconds,leaving dead scattered across the pitch,the stands,the banks and the street outside.The Tipperary team were corralled by the police into a group at the hill 16 end,fearing for their lives before being let go.

The British obviously shot first. They tried to cover it up by saying an I.R.A member shot, but they killed the child in the tree, which caused the Black and Tans and Auxiliary’s to panic which caused Bloody Sunday.
