The highlight of the week in Tyrone camogie was the final of the Post Primary Championship. The final was between Eglish and Doiretreasc and it was Eglish that lifted the title of the Bridie McMenamin shield for the second year in a row. The game was played in great spirit at a sunny Edendork. Joint captains Catherine Muldoon and Casey Gallagher were presented with the shield from Tyrone county Board member Fionnuala McGrath. Catherine had a double celebration as she was awarded player of the final and was presented with a Tyrone camogie crested kit bag.
