A huge travelling support from Offaly is expected in Kilkenny on Sunday.
Offaly Minor Hurling Manager Leo O'Connor says they're eager to let the players express themselves and enjoy Sunday's All-Ireland Final.
The clash with Tipperary at Nowlan Park is now a sell-out, with Offaly seeking a first Minor All-Ireland in 33 years.
Limerick native O'Connor has been a central figure in the development of this group of players in recent years.
And he's been praising their maturity, saying their experience belies their age:
