The county senior team was well into their stride as training continued on Sunday. The squad had a change of venue due to the bad weather as Garvaghey was closed. At the Garvaghey complex last week the Tyrone senior camogs, footballers, under 21’s and hurlers all used the facilities and all but one of the pitches were in use. There was a fundraising Quiz in McAleers bar, Dungannon on Sunday evening. The team would like to thank all the supporters who turned out and gave their support and especially McAleers bar for their continued support for Tyrone camogie. The ‘A Team’ won the quiz again so that’s two in a row.
The fixtures committee met on Tuesday evening to draw up all the games for the coming year. All dates were agreed and the league fixtures will be circulated after the championship draws have been made.
