Today in Labor History July 29, 1848: The police put down the Tipperary Revolt against British rule. The Young Ireland movement led this nationalist rebellion, which was part of a wave of European revolutions that occurred that year. Because the revolt occurred in the wake of the Great Famine, and the Irish were still suffering from hunger and poverty, it is also sometimes called the Famine Rebellion. During the revolt, the rebels chased an Irish Constabulary into the Widow McCormack’s house in Ballingarry, South Tipperary, where they took her children hostage. She demanded to be let in, but the cops refused. Rebel leaders tried negotiating with the cops, so that no one would get hurt. “We’re all Irishmen,” they said. “Put down your guns and you’re free to go.” However, the cops began firing and a gunfight ensued, lasting hours, until a large group of police reinforcements chased the rebels off. The authorities later arrested many of the leaders and sent them to the penal colony in Van Diemen’s Land (Tasmania).
In my first novel, “Anywhere But Schuylkill,” my main character’s mother is brought to America in 1848 by her family, who were fleeing deportation to Van Diemen’s Land for their role in the uprising.

The final was today!
A real game of two very different halves!!
First half, Cork are dominant, but Tipperary stay in sight. Half time Cork 1-16 Tipp 0-13.
Cork come out in the second half, miss a free in the first minute, and it went downhill from there.
Cork couldn't do a thing right in the second half, had a player sent off, and only scored two points.
Tipperary were all over them, and thrashed Cork in the end.
Full time Tipperary 3-27 Cork 1-18.
Three goals for #Tipperary in the second half, and with #Cork down to 14 men it's basically all over. Only two points for #Cork in the second half!
All Munster All Ireland Hurling Final.

Two teams with a mountain of All Ireland Hurling Championships between them.

Tipperary win and are in the final!
Kilkenny had a shot on goal blocked with 20 seconds of injury time to go, that would have forced extra time, but it wasn't to be.
Tipperary 4-21 Kilkenny 0-30

Desperate scrapping by Tipp results in a goal in the 69th minute to take the lead.

Kilkenny try to even things up by getting one their players sent off for hitting someone over the head with the hurley, but he only gets a yellow card.

Tipp's McCarthy gets a red card! And if Tipp win he won't be playing in the final. 26 points each and about 10 minutes to go ...
#Hurling #Tipperary #Kilkenny #AllIreland #GAA
Kilkenny have brought the scores equal 23 points each. A tough close match.
#Hurling #Tipperary #Kilkenny #AllIreland #GAA
Half time Tipperary lead Kilkenny in a close tough match. Tipp 3-11, Kilkenny 0-16.
After a slow start from Tipperary, they scored a couple of goals, and really woke up. Tipperary starting to look the better team, but Kilkenny are only 4 points behind.
A brief downpour during the first half has also made things a bit slippery.

How did Tipp score that 3rd goal? Little flick up and over the goalkeeper and looped into the top corner.
#Tipperary #Kilkenny #Hurling #GAA
