Down had a resounding win over Cavan at the weekend in the first round of the Ulster Ladies U16 Championship.
A dominant display, that included a devastating spell of three goals in the space of five minutes either side of half time, saw Down U16s win in the opening round of the U16 Championship against Cavan on Saturday at Burren.
The game started evenly enough with the scores level at 1-4 each up until the twenty fifth minute, but then Collie Campbell's impressive Down side hit their purple patch and found the back of the net twice in quick succession before halftime.

Down kept up the pace and got another goal just after the break. The home side kept the scoreboard ticking over, with some lovely taken scores, and added another goal to their total to lead 5-13 (28) to 1-6 (9) with five minutes remaining.
Much to their credit, Cavan never gave up and got two goals and three points before the final whistle to close the gap to ten.
A fantastic display by Down, who were magnificent on the day.
