It is a great honour to have Armagh forward Rory Grugan take part in our #InspiringYou interview series. Children from around the country are being given the opportunity to send questions to some of Ireland’s leading personalities. All-Ireland legend Rena Buckley and Holocaust survivor Tomi Reichental are also part of our interview series.
#InspiringYou
The idea for #InspiringYou is for us to inspire each other and to help children dream of a brighter tomorrow. It would be great if the #InspiringYou interviews help start conversations in families around the country.
Rory’s Story
Rory’s first got bitten by the “football bug” when he started playing with his club Ballymacnab Round Towers at the age of 5. His first experience playing with Armagh was at development squad level.
Minor Glory
The Armagh captain started to take a more serious attitude to his football when he was called up to the Armagh minor squad in 2008. In 2009 Rory was vice captain of a very talented squad that went on to win the All-Ireland minor championship.
Senior Call Up
Rory was honoured to get called up to the senior panel in 2011. He showed great patience and resilience and made his debut in the championship in 2016.
Rory as Captain
Rory was captain of Armagh from 2017 to 2020. One of Rory’s highlights was lifting the division 3 league title inCroke Park in 2018. No doubt there will be other big days to come for Rory in the future for both club and county.

Deadline
The deadline for sending us your questions is 8pm on April 23rd. Time to get thinking and talking about what you would like Armagh’s Rory to answer!
It’s good to talk
In 1937 the Irish government felt that children were too busy to talk to their family and neighbours! They made it part of their homework to write down family history, folklore, songs etc. Their work is now part of the amazing Duchas Project.
Family history
It is unusual that children have so much free time so maybe they use it
effectively to learn about their local and family history?
In these challenging times we can encourage our children to ring or write
to elderly relatives and record stories that influenced their lives. Who knows they may have some great sporting moments to share with the next generation!
