Junior Championship – One to watch

With the Junior Championship kicking into action this weekend, we take a look at some of the players that could light up the campaign.

An Port Mor: Gary Traynor

An Ulster Junior Championship winner with An Port Mor over a decade ago, Traynor is still one of their best attacking options.

Ballyhegan: James McCormack

McCormack missed out on last season but is back this year and is one of the best goal scorers at this grade.

Clady: Ciaran Grimley

Transferred from Madden at the start of the season and has made a major impact in the Clady defence.

Clann Eireann II: Conor Bell

Bell was midfielder when Clann Eireann won the SFC two years ago, and his experience will be key for Clann Eireann IIs.

Clonmore: Caolan Donaghy

The Clonmore captain is a powerful, box-to-box midfielder and has been in fine form for the Division 3A champions.

Collegeland: Shane Donnelly

Donnelly can play a range of different positions for Collegeland but does most damage when on the edge of the square.

Dorsey: Aidan Mackin

Still carries a huge amount of the scoring burden in the Dorsey attack and could cause headaches for opposition defences.

Eire Og: Diarmuid O’Hagan

One of the rocks of the Eire Og defence, O’Hagan can mix up his defensive abilities with attacking play too.

Killeavy II: John Stevenson

Top scored for Killeavy IIs in their opening round loss to Lissummon last year and is one of their main attacking threats.

Lissummon: Tom O’Hagan

O’Hagan was in top form for Lissummon last season and helped Seamus Loughran’s men reach the final of the JFC.

Mullabrack: Phillip McGeown

A lot of Mullabrack’s play comes through centre half forward McGeown, who is the main play-maker on the team.

O’Hanlon’s: Adam Magill

In the absence of Charlie Magill and Matthew Taylor, Adam Magill will carry a huge chuck of the attacking threat for O’Hanlon’s.

St Michael’s: Joe McClelland

Starred for Newtown in their opening round defeat to Derrynoose last year and is an exciting prospect.

Thomas Davis: Ronan Murphy

Recently rattled off 2-2 in a league game against Mullabrack and is one of the players that makes Thomas Davis tick.
