Coach Kyle aiming for clean sweep thumbnailLimavady’s Kahu Tamatea will take his place in the Roeside midfield on Saturday as the town side aims to make it three wins from three in the Junior Cup.

LIMAVADY travel to Letterkenny this weekend hoping to make it three wins out of three in their 2008/09 Junior Cup group campaign.
The Roesiders opened their season account with a fantastic win over Ballymena at Eaton Park in late August and followed up with a home victory against Enniskillen a week later to leave them top of the group and odds on favourites to book a quarter final place.
A win on Saturday would leave the town side just two games from a Ravenhill final and as their coach Glen Kyle says, "anything can happen in knockout rugby."
He should know. During his four years at the helm of Clogher Valley, the Junior Ulster Coach made it to five Ravenhill finals, a remarkable achievement.
“It's definitely something I have in the pipeline for the club", he said.
“But we have to be realistic. For now we just have to take it one game at a time. Next week we have Armagh at home but I'll be hoping the boys are 100 per cent focused on Letterkenny for now. People will be looking at Letterkenny, who are sitting bottom of their league and think that it will be an easy game for us.
“We need to approach the match with the right attitude, put our patterns into practice and play to our potential."
Limavady had last week off, giving the players a chance to get away from rugby for a while.
“We had a night at the karting track last week and it was great to get the boys involved in something different", continued Glen.
“They should be refreshed and ready for action again.
“We had a great start in the Junior Cup and I am determined to get out of the group with three wins out of three."
