Miscellaneous

On 13 July 1930, the Munster semi-final between Tipperary and Waterford ended in disarray after the referee, Seán Óg Murphy, attempted to send off John and Charlie Ware of Waterford and John Joe Callanan of Tipperary. The Waterford players refused to leave and there was a delay of 12 minutes. The referee awarded the match to Tipperary.
Tipperary become the first team to win the Triple Crown of hurling by winning the All-Ireland titles in the senior, junior and minor grades.^[2]
