Finn Ladies
Carry Down Flag into Ulster
All
roads from Aughlisnafin lead to Brookboro',
in Fermanagh, this Saturday as the
Down Ladies Junior Champions, Aughlisnafin,
take on the Fermanagh champions, Brookboro
on at 2.30 p.m. in the quarter final
of the Ulster Junior Ladies Football
cub championship.
After
their historic win against Tullylish
the Finn Ladies aim to progress to
the Ulster semi-finals. Little is
known about their opposition except
for the fact that they have been formed
within the last five years and they
captured the Fermanagh title by beating
a highly fancied Enniskillen Gaels
by 7 points. An interesting fact is
that whilst the Finn play in the Fermanagh
colours their opposition Brookboro
play in the red and black of Down!
The
Finn will look to build on the performance
that gained them their first ever
Down title and it will once again
take a sustained team effort if they
are to advance.
Emma
Joyce in goals inspires confidence
with her safe handling and accurate
clearances. The close marking defence
which tackles tenaciously and plays
as a unit should provide the platform
from which the midfielders can supply
a potent forward line. Midfielders
Nina Cairns and Grainne Mc Cann are
capable of holding their own in any
company and should gain an ample supply
for the hardworking forwards like
Claire Mc Shane, Ciara Gibney and
goal scorer Michaela Doherty.
Hopes
are high and if Gerry Flanagan can
once again inspire the self believe
in his s they can advance to the last
four in Ulster come five o' clock
Saturday evening.
