Miscellaneous

[edit]
  • Many games were delayed due to home rule protests.
  • Dublin's Semi-Final win v Monaghan was played just one week after Dublin's loss in the 1920 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final. Despite this they had to wait almost one year to play the final, owing to the political turmoil.
  • Mayo's Semi-Final v Tipperary was originally scheduled for 15 April 1923, but was postponed for one week. Mayo refused a walkover from Tipperary in respect of the Semi-Final scheduled for 22 April 1923, and the match was again rescheduled for 29 April.[5] Tipperary could not field a team on 29 April.[6]
