The Banner Raised | The Gaelic Hurling Year 1995 | HD Upscale

Jimmy Magee presents a truly remarkable story - how one of the minnows scaled the heights to dethrone the defending champions and win hurling's most coveted crown, the Liam McCarthy Cup. The whole of County Clare, it seemed, exited for the capital to see their new found heroes play in the final for the first time in 63 long years and cheered them on to an unforgettable triumph! Everybody - outside of Offaly, that is - wanted the Bannermen to win the big game but not many really believed they would upstage the Leinster Champions. Fairytales do come true, however. This is the proof! But it's a story of many twists and turns, with glory along the way for others too. In Ulster, Down called upon maturity and experience to deny the enthusiastic youngsters of Antrim their moment in the sun. In Connacht, Galway faced a challenge for the first time in many years, the test provided by a promising Roscommon team. In Leinster, Kilkenny failed to rediscover their sparkle and that paved the way for Offaly to bid for another title. But the romance of the championship was serenaded most stylishly down in Munster. Not Tipperary, not Limerick, not even Cork - but Clare emerged to fly their proud flag. Offaly registered strong title credentials with their dismissal of Kilkenny and Down while Clare provided a rude awakening for the men of Galway and Limerick. And in a memorable final, hailed as the best in many years, it was the hurlers of Clare who reached the sporting apex. #gaa #claregaa #gaelicgames #hurling
