ARMAGH fans will be crossing every limb and digit this Sunday as their GAA team play Galway for the right to call themselves All-Ireland champions for the next year.

It has been 22 years since captain Kieran McGeeney, now manager of the side, walked up the Hogan Stand and lifted Sam Maguire above his head as he gazed out at the sea of orange and white that engulfed Croke Park.

As the Boys from the County Armagh look to replicate those scenes, we would like fans to share their memories of supporting the Orchard county through the years.

Be it photos, a scrapbook, school project, videos, or your stories, we want the lot. We want to showcase the dedication and passion that Armagh GAA fans have for their county.

Perhaps you were photographed as a baby sitting in Sam Maguire, or maybe you were in the Hill on that day and saw Oisin McConville’s goal that sent the crowd into delirium, or you could have had your house decked out in flags and paint ahead of the big game?
