On a day that felt more like a movie script than reality, brothers Niall and Ryan Grimley made history 38 miles apart.
In this special Christmas Day episode of the Win with Armagh Podcast, we sit down with the siblings to reflect on October 26th—a day that saw both Madden and Loughmacrory claim historic county titles for the first time ever.
From the "mad house" of five brothers competing in the backyard to the emotional scenes in the Athletic Grounds and Omagh, this is a story of community, perseverance, and family bonds that transcend county lines.
In this episode, we discuss:
- The 38-Mile Double: How the brothers kept track of each other's games during their own finals.
- From Division 3 to the Top: The long road to senior glory for Madden.
- The "Jesus" Moment: The story behind Ryan’s surprise arrival at the Madden celebrations.
- Looking Ahead: Reflections on an incredible 18 months for Armagh football.
Whether you're home for the holidays or tuning in from afar, join us for a conversation that captures the true spirit of the GAA.
Happy Christmas from all at Armagh GAA.
