"It's all over, What a shock. The crowd comes onto the field..."
Those were the emotional words of Midlands 103 commentator Jack Nolan after Laois caused the shock of the hurling championship by beating Dublin 1-22 to 0-23 at O'Moore Park to set up an All-Ireland SHC quarter-final meeting with Tipperary in Croke Park next weekend.
On a day when fellow Joe McDonagh Cup finalists Westmeath were hammered by Cork, Eddie Brennan's charges struck a blow for the underdog and sent their supporters wild on Twitter.
Above average day in O'Moore Park!!!!!

What a performance and win for Laois, not major surprise for me knowing the forwards they have & watched them play in Joe McDonagh. Enda Rowland is one class keeper👌 Suddenly Tipp losing Munster Final not worst thing in the world after all.....

Eddie Brennan let the Laois lads go the beer last Sunday. He was doing interviews on Friday. A massive dose of sense in a sea of guff. What an achievement.
