Why wouldn't Tipperary win their first Munster title in 85 years, wearing jerseys that carried the image of Michael Hogan in the colours that he died in, 100 years on from Bloody Sunday in Croke Park? And wasn't there nothing surer that Cavan would honour one of their greats on the anniversary of his death by winning the Anglo-Celt Cup? Sunday was liberation day for Cavan, where they became just the sixth side to win an Ulster title from the preliminary round. Only Cavan in 1945, Armagh in 2005 and Donegal in 2011, 2012 and 2018 have managed to come through four rounds to win Ulster. With Mayo already in the last four where they were (inevitably) joined by Dublin on Saturday night, the Cavan and Tipperary wins pair off the same semi-finals as there were 100 years ago.
