Some bizarre scenes prior to the 1995 Leinster Hurling Final between Offaly and Kilkenny. Torrential rain saw some supporters taking to the field, scores of supporters scarpering to the back of the Cusack Stand and perhaps most bizarrely, Kilkenny hurlers forced to abandon their warmup to huddle together under an umbrella. . . Offaly would go on to give one of their finest displays of that era to beat Kilkenny by 2-15 to 2-5.
