Lurgan club Clann Éireann GAC has painted the town orange in celebration of Armagh’s success to date and setting the mood for the week ahead of the big game.
The Armagh Fan Day held on Sunday drew in a crowd for a range of events.
On the pitch the club’s academy teams, from Mini Eireanns to the under 14s took part in exhibition games.
Started in 2002, this is the same academy where Armagh players Conor Turbitt, Tiernan Kelly and Barry McCambridge had their start.
