WATCH: Pure legend sings the Offaly Rover while footing turf ahead of Offaly v Laois
The battle lines have been drawn ahead of this weekend's qualifier clash between Laois and Offaly in O'Moore Park.
The counties will face off for a place in the draw for Round 4, relatively unchartered territory for both teams in recent years, and it seems the build-up has well and truly got underway.
If the battle lines are drawn anywhere in this one, it is in the border town of Portarlington and the Anvil Inn in the town have shared this brilliant clip of one Offaly fan belting out the 'The Offaly Rover' on a local bog.
Described as the 'legendary' Eddie Murphy, the balladeer continues to foot turf while the chorus of the famous Faithful tune rings around the peatland.
Let's hope the Offaly lads work as hard as Eddie during the game and we can all toast the victory in the Anvil Inn on Saturday evening!
