While we may have come up just short against Dublin in the 2020 TG4 All-Ireland semi-final, it was still a very memorable year for myself personally, and the Armagh team. “We hope to make further progress in 2021 but I’ll always remember the 2020 campaign with huge fondness after winning the TG4 Senior Players’ Player of the Year and AIG Cúl na Bliana awards.” About AIG Insurance: AIG Insurance are a global brand over 100 years old and have been operating in Ireland for over 40 years.
