The 1995 Munster Senior Hurling Championship final was a hurling match played on 9 July 1995 at Semple Stadium, Thurles, County Tipperary. It was contested by Clare and Limerick. Clare claimed their first Munster Championship since 1932 and fourth ever, after beating Limerick on a scoreline of 1âÂÂ17 to 0âÂÂ11. Clare were leading the game by 1âÂÂ5 to 0âÂÂ7 at half-time.
With the scores at 0âÂÂ5 to 0âÂÂ3 in Clare's favour in the first half, Davy Fitzgerald scored from a penalty five minutes before the break, crashing the ball high into the net at the town end before sprinting back to his goal-line. In 2005, this penalty goal came fifth in the Top 20 GAA Moments poll by the Irish public. Clare were captained by Anthony Daly and managed by Ger Loughnane in his first year.
Clare had defeated Cork in the semi-final by 2âÂÂ13 to 3âÂÂ09 to reach the final, while Limerick had defeated Tipperary by 0âÂÂ16 to 0âÂÂ15 in their semi-final.
