An all-time high of 16 teams took part in this year’s Terry Shields Mid Ulster Shield, held at King’s Park Primary School, making it the biggest edition of the tournament to date.

The day proved to be a fantastic celebration of primary school football, with excellent sportsmanship and competitive spirit on display throughout. The participating schools were:

Waringstown, Tandragee, Maralin, Mullaglass, Markethill, St John the Baptist, Bocombra, Edenderry, Birches, Orchard County, St Francis, and King’s Park.

After an exciting series of matches, the Mid Ulster Shield was shared by Tandragee PS and Orchard County PS, both showcasing exceptional talent and teamwork. The Plate competition was also hotly contested and ended in a deserved share between Bocombra PS and The Birches PS.

Adding to the occasion, Northern Ireland legend and former captain Marissa Callaghan was in attendance to oversee proceedings and present the Player of the Tournament award – which went to the impressive Tandragee captain for her leadership and performances throughout the day.

A special word of thanks goes to Glenavon FC, Lurgan Town, the Irish FA, and our talented P6F photographers Mia and Eva, whose help and support made the day possible.
