Offaly's senior hurlers look like they're finally winning hearts and minds at home after a long road.
"If we give them something now, they'll follow us next year."
That's what the Offaly senior hurlers were saying to each other this season as they watched the fevered support behind the county's under 20 team.
In the league, Johnny Kelly's side performed well through their Division One campaign, while in championship action Offaly overcame Laois in the Joe McDonagh Cup final.
Their last outing of the inter-county season came in a nine point defeat to Cork in O'Connor Park in the All Ireland preliminary quarter finals on Saturday.
Faithful County forward Brian Duignan tells Tommy Rooney they've been using the popularity of the All Ireland winning under 20 team as motivation:
