Hide AdAngela is enthusiastic about Gaelic games and is a member of the Clan na Gael club in Lurgan where she turns out for the under 12 side.
There was another special moment for her as well during the final.
Before the big game great players from the 1980s were paraded in front of the crowd.
Angela was drawn to walk out with one of the players.
Just by coincidence she was paired with Sarsfields great Brian McAlinden.
Brian was Armagh’s goalkeeper in the 80s and also co-managed the county side with Brian Canavan.
Brian’s daughter, Mags, captained the Armagh Ladies team which won an All-Ireland title this year.
