What a fantastic Twelfth weekend for County Tyrone Junior Orange! 🧡

It was tremendous to see so many of our Junior Lodges represented on parade, with such a great turnout of boys proudly taking part across the county.

We're especially encouraged by the number of enquiries from young boys and families interested in joining the Junior Orange. The future is looking bright, and it's fantastic to see so much enthusiasm for becoming part of our organisation.

A sincere thank you to everyone who helped make the weekend such a success – our members, leaders, parents, supporters and all those who worked behind the scenes.

If you know a young boy who would like to make new friends, learn about our traditions, and be part of a local Junior Lodge, we'd love to hear from you.

Here's to another successful year ahead for County Tyrone Junior Orange! 🍊

Co Tyrone Junior Orange Tag Rugby Competition

A fantastic night at Omagh Rugby Club for our first-ever Co Tyrone Junior Orange Tag Rugby Competition.
It was great to see teams from across the county represented, enjoying an evening of fun, teamwork and friendly competition.

A sincere thank you to Sixmilecross JLOL for organising the BBQ, and to all the ladies who helped with the cooking and refreshments throughout the evening.

Special thanks to Bro. Jamie Brown for all his hard work in organising the event, and to Omagh Rugby Club for the use of their excellent facilities.

The competition was a great success, and we look forward to building on it and making next year's event even bigger and better.

Football Competition Postponed
Following the sad passing of Mrs Lindsay Bell, and out of respect for her family, the County Tyrone Junior Orange football competition due to take place at Roughan on Friday evening has been postponed.
Lindsay was a great supporter of the Junior Orange over the years, and our thoughts and prayers are with her husband Kingsley, her children Jamie, Katie, Millie and Harry, and the wider Bell family at this difficult time. We also extend our sincere sympathies to her father-in-law, Bro. Paul Bell, Worshipful District Master of Annahoe District L.O.L. No. 6.
A new date for the competition will be announced in due course.
Thank you for your understanding

Sunday 10th May was a great day in Omagh as Junior Lodge members from across Co. Tyrone & Fermanagh were joined by members of the JOWAI & WLOL and visiting Lodges for the annual Junior Orange Parade.

The parade moved off from Omagh Orange Hall and, with such a strong turnout on the day, the Brethren were able to walk three deep and stretched the full length of Omagh Main Street — a tremendous sight to see and very encouraging for the future of Junior Orangeism across the County.

Led by Edenderry Pipe Band and Blair Memorial Flute Band, the parade made its way to St. Columba’s Parish Church where the service was conducted by Rev. Graham Hare and Rev. Alexander Chisnall.

Junior members took part throughout the service with Scripture readings and the retiring collection in aid of the McCrea Memorial Trust. During the service, the new Bannerette from Blossomhill JLOL No. 250 was also presented for dedication.

Following the service, the parade returned to Omagh Orange Hall in glorious sunshine, bringing to an end a very successful day.

Thanks are extended to everyone who helped organise the event, the bands, all who attended, and the large crowds who came out to support the parade along the route.
