The inaugural Lurgan Tigers camp festival featured under 10s and under 11s from across Ireland, plus a touring party from Scotland.

Fixtures across two days provided plenty of impressive play - with visitors opting to camp out in Pollock Park the night before the opening fixtures.

“There was a very high standard,” said a Lurgan Tigers spokesperson. “A lot of new friendships were made and Lurgan’s reputation was greatly enhanced, with the club highly praised for the effort and organisation.”
