Laois hurlers went out of the All-Ireland Championship on Sunday but they certainly didn't read from the pundit script on a day when the real winners were the legions of fans who took over Croke Park.
Thousands of supporters travelled to Dublin for the game against neighbours Tipp. The Laois fans formed the biggest contingent of support on the day reminding all in the GAA that the small counties are as important to the association as the big guns.
Right through the well-contested game, Laois made their voices heard loud and clear. Laois, Laois, Laois, Laois rang around the stadium on numerous occasions none more so than when Ross King rattled the Tipperary net.
