The Clann Éireann ace was at Croke Park to watch Kieran McGeeney's side defeat Roscommon last weekend and the Armagh Ladies are hoping to secure their place in the All-Ireland semi-finals on Sunday
It may have only been a fifth round game in Division 1 of the Lidl National Football League, but for Niamh Henderson, Armagh’s clash with Kerry at BOX-IT Athletic Grounds on March 3 of this year was one of major significance.

“That was a big day for me and I think I’ve just continued to build from that. Get a bit more confident within the team and just gelling with the girls a bit more. It’s going well so far and I’m delighted that I made that decision to come back this year.” This was her first time to be back playing in Croke Park since that All-Ireland intermediate final victory of 2012 and it provided Henderson with another reason to be grateful for her second coming as an inter-county star."Thankfully we were able to beat Kerry narrowly and then having that match in Croke Park was just amazing. When we won the All-Ireland intermediate in 2012 with Armagh, I never thought I’d be back on that Croke Park pitch.
When the Armagh men overcame Roscommon in an All-Ireland Senior Football Championship quarter-final at Croke Park last Saturday, the Clann Éireann triumvirate of Barry McCambridge , Tiernan Kelly and Conor Turbitt were all included in their starting line-up. Following quarter-final defeats in each of the past three seasons, Armagh will be aiming for a return to the last-four of the TG4 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship when they take on the aforementioned Mayo at BOX-IT Athletic Grounds on Sunday evening .
