Watch: Armagh captain brings Sam Maguire back to school

Armagh's All Ireland Winning Captain Aidan Forker has returned to the primary school where he is vice principal, bringing the Sam Maguire with him.

Around 180 children attend Our Lady's Primary School in Tullysaran a few miles outside Armagh city.

There was a big welcome for the team captain who was accompanied by fellow players Niall Grimley and Stefan "Soupy" Campbell.

The children were told that with hard work anything was possible.

A family fun day had been organised as part of the event, and the children were allowed off homework for the night.

Mr Forker said it was a special moment to bring the cup to his own school, and he hoped that it would inspire the children to dare to dream.

Following their All Ireland success last July, Armagh have been nominated for 11 All-Star awards.
