Club History continued. During the War of Independence on November 21, 1920 Croke Park was the scene of a massacre by the (RIC). The Police, supported by the British Auxiliary Division entered the ground, shooting indiscriminately into the crowd killing or fatally wounding 14 during a Dublin – Tipperary Gaelic football match. The dead included 13 spectators and Tipperary’s captain, Michael Hogan. Posthumously, the Hogan stand built in 1924 was named in his honor. Dan Hogan, a brother of Michael Hogan played for Clones, captained Clones and won an Ulster title for Monaghan in 1917, 1921 and 1920. Other Clones players on that great Monaghan team were Standish O’Grady, Paddy Cosgrove, Ed Bishop, Tommy Quigley, Jimmy Murphy and Joe Kiely.
