Villages across Co Limerick have turned green and white in support of the county's hurlers who take on Kilkenny in the All-Ireland final tomorrow.
In the village of Croom, where four team members come from, local people have hung green and white bunting on the flower baskets overlooking the Maigue river and Limerick flags are flying outside almost every house in the area.
Locals in the village of Glenroe have erected a 5ft 10in picture cut-out of local hurler Mike O'Brien to show their support for his All-Ireland efforts this weekend.
And in Doon, local man Frank Whelan used his carpentry skills to carve a goalpost and hurler which have been erected in his front lawn.
The words "Over the bar Mike" were also carved letter by letter by the 84-year-old in honour of local hurling hero Mike Fitzgerald who is also on tomorrow's team.
But it was a family from Bruree in Co Limerick who stole the show for their efforts ahead of the final.
Jim and Eileen O'Connell, who live near Rourke's Cross, were among the many entrants in a competition organised by Limerick Co-Ordination Office to search for the most imaginative tribute to the Limerick hurlers.
The O'Connells, who hung 30 miniature hurleys along with hand-painted timber figures in their garden, won two tickets for the final.
Two tickets were also presented to staff at the Limerick Youth Services Centre where a special All-Ireland menu was drawn up at the cafe, which included green and white gingerbread men.
In the city, up to 20,000 supporters who haven't been lucky enough to secure tickets will line O'Connell Street where the match will be shown on one of the largest TV screens in Europe.
The "Big Screen" was first erected in Limerick city centre for the Heineken Cup Final in May 2006 when the Munster rugby team beat Biarritz.
Highlights of Limerick's last All-Ireland hurling win in 1973 against Kilkenny will be broadcast from 1pm onwards tomorrow along with messages from some of Limerick's best-known personalities.
The screen will be located at the junction of Roches Street and O'Connell Street and a number of traffic restrictions will be in place in the city centre from 6am tomorrow.
Gardaí say fans will only be able to access the screen from Thomas Street and William Street and no alcohol will be allowed in the area.
Win, lose, or draw, a massive homecoming party is planned for the team in O'Connell Street at 7pm on Monday evening.
Limerick hurlers were this weekend given a special blessing from local priest Fr Liam Ryan. Although a native of Tipperary, Fr Ryan is an avid Limerick hurling supporter and he wrote a special prayer for the team, which he will read at Masses tomorrow.
"Lord we thank you for the Limerick hurlers and for the light that they have shone into this grey summer and win, lose or draw may we act with respect and be responsible in our drinking and driving," the prayer reads.
