On Sunday 28 July, two teams will battle for the Sam Maguire cup in Gaelic Football’s biggest final.

But for the first time in 14 years, the match won’t involve Kerry, Dublin or Mayo.

Instead, Armagh will compete for the All-Ireland football title against Galway.

Armagh only ever won once, back in 2002, Galway’s last Sam Maguire was just the year before, in 2001.

The two teams will play in front of a full Croke Park, with hundreds of thousands more watching across the world.

Many Ulster fans will set county rivalry aside and be rooting for Armagh to bring victory back to the province.

The excitement is building and the scramble for tickets is intense as pre-match analysis begins.

To discuss it all, Niamh Campbell is joined by All-Ireland winning former Armagh star Oisín McConville, Belfast Telegraph journalist Jessica Rice and Belfast Telegraph columnist and podcaster Lee Costello.
