Niall Grimley dedicated Armagh's All-Ireland win to his late brother Patrick, who tragically died in a car accident last November.

The Orchard County beat Galway by a single point on Sunday to lift the Sam Maguire for the first time since 2002 and for just the second time ever.

Grimley celebrated the success with his brother's children, with Patrick tragically dying shortly after his 40th birthday.

"I'll go see my family [to celebrate] because this isn't about the medal or the cup for me," Grimley told RTE after the game.

"I've been through a lot this past eight and a half months. I lost my brother and there's not a minute goes by where I don't think about him.

"That was for him and I just wish he was here to see it. He wouldn't believe it. Every night I was turning out to train, I was just doing it for him.

"I just wanted to put a smile on his children’s faces because they deserve it. They're amazing."
