The evening began with an opportunity for fans to have their photos taken with the ‘special guest’ in the clubhouse.
This was followed by a parade through the Ballyoran Park estate of all Tir Na nÓg players from underage teams to the senior team led by Tir Na nÓg and Armagh player, Oisin Conaty and his Armagh teammate, Peter McGrane.
The hundreds of local Armagh fans then listened to speeches on the pitch and enjoy the homecoming experience.
Photographer Tony Hendron went along to capture some of the atmosphere from this memorable event.
