Cavan Ladies Championship Junior Championship 2006 This weekend sees the 2006 Cavan junior championship commence with the preliminary stages on Friday evening and Sunday morning. Last years finalists Killinkere kick off their campaign with a home game against newcomers Shannon Gaels. Killinkere will be hoping to go one better this year and claim the top honour and will be relying on players like Sinead Denning, Emer McGovern and Maria Murphy. They will be favourites to overcome the western team and progress to the next round. One of the big ties of the round is the meeting of Cuchullains and Arva. Arva have been going well in the adult league and will be hoping to strongly challenge for a place in the quarter final. However Cuchullains cannot be discounted. They have had a poor run in the league this year and will be looking to make amends for the poor results and progress to the next round. An intriguing battle is forecasted and a close fought contest is predicted. Cootehill take on Killygarry in a match where Killygarry should progress. Cootehill are a team not to be taken for granted but will be up against it to get a win here. Killygarry are one of the biggest clubs in Cavan and this year have some newcomers that on form will be hard stopped. They are strong favourites to go well in the competition this year. Knockbride B will face stiff opposition against St. Finbarrs in their opening round. St. Finbarrs have been building at underage in recent years and remain one of the dark horses in this year’s championship. Current form dictates a win for them but Knockbride are capable of causing an upset in this opening round. One of the strongest teams in the championship this year is Gowna. They come up against the Cavan town side Drumalee. Drumalee are a relative new club to the ladies football scene. They will have their work cut out to grab a win here. Gowna will be relying on the Lynch and Fitzpatrick sisters amongst others, and whilst having had disappointing form in previous championships they remain one of the strongest teams in the competition. They final game sees Killeshandra take on Laragh. These two teams have already met in the league earlier this year with Laragh coming out on top. But the championship is a different competition and no result can be a guaranteed. Laragh will be aiming for a win but Killeshandra will have other things on their mind and loosing will not be one of them. U-16 county training Training will take place this Sunday morning on the back pitch in Kingspan Breffni Park at 11:00.
