The 1994 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship Final was the 107th All-Ireland Final and the culmination of the 1994 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship, an inter-county hurling tournament for the top teams in Ireland. The match was held at Croke Park, Dublin, on 4 September 1994, between Limerick and Offaly.
The Munster champions lost to their Leinster opponents on a score line of 3-16 to 2-13. The match is known as 'the five-minute final' due to the sensational comeback by Offaly who scored 2-5 to win the game in the last five minutes.https://www.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-games/hurling/the-great-escape-celebrating-the-supreme-heroes-of-94-that-delivered-one-of-the-great-gaa-comebacks-38009389.html The Great Escape - Celebrating the supreme heroes of '94 that delivered one of the great GAA comebacks 12 April 2019 Irish Independent 17 April 2019 https://www.gaa.ie/hurling/news/flashback-1994-all-ireland-shc-final-offaly-v-limerick/ Flashback: 1994 All-Ireland SHC Final - Offaly v Limerick 19 March 2020 GAA.ie 24 March 2020
Summary
With five minutes of normal time remaining, Limerick were leading by 2-13 to 1-11 and looked to be heading to their first title in 21 years when Offaly were awarded a free 20 metres from the goal. Limerick goalkeeper Joe Quaid later admitted that he was to blame for the resultant goal in that he didn't organise his defence well enough to stop a low-struck free from Johnny Dooley.https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/tale-of-the-sorrowful-mysteries-1.754563 Tale of the sorrowful mysteries 10 October 2009 Irish Times 17 September 2018 Keith Duggan Quaid was erroneously blamed for Offaly's second goal after what was described as a quick and errant puck-out leading to Pat O'Connor putting Offaly a point ahead with a low shot to the net. Quaid later described the puck-out: "I didn’t rush back to the goals. I went back and picked up the ball, walked behind the goals like I normally would. Hegarty was out in the middle of the field on his own. I dropped the ball into his hand 70 yards out from goal. He caught the ball and in contact the ball squirted out of his hands." Because the television coverage was still showing a replay of the first goal, very few people got to see the build up to the second and when live transmission was resumed, the sliotar was still dropping towards Pat O'Connor leading people to assume that Quaid rushed his puck-out.https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/gaelic-games/hurling/limerick-hurling-home-to-hope-and-hardship-1.1795923 Limerick hurling: home to hope and hardship 15 May 2014 Irish Times 17 September 2018 Keith Duggan Limerick went on to lose the game by 3-16 to 2-13.https://www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/yourview/arid-10098744.html Limerick: where broken dreams are a way of life 15 August 2009 Irish Examiner 17 September 2018http://www.the42.ie/offaly-limerick-1994-1653691-Sep2014/ 20 years ago today Offaly produced THAT All-Ireland final comeback against Limerick 4 September 2014 The 42 17 September 2018 Fintan O'Toole
