Junior Provincial Championships 2005


This year, the Junior Provincial Championships were held at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. Virgilia Burke was the only K-Bay member to attend this event.

Match #1:
Virgilia was up against a 6'0" McMaster University student. Using her throwing power, Virgilia overtook her opponent by pin in the third round.

Match #2:
Virgilia started out slow, losing the first round. But the words from Coach Cryer inspired her to pin her second opponent in the second round.

Match #3
Virgilia was up against the OFSAA 2004 champion Marissa Brown from Sudbury. Again Virgilia started slow and lost the first round but came back in convincing fashion to take the second round. In a close third round, Virgilia fought 'til the end but ended up losing a close round.

Match #4
Needing a pin to win gold, Virgilia again started slow and tied the first round but won with her last minute reversal. The second round was the real Virgilia Burke as she totally dominated with her double leg takedowns and finally pinned her opponent in a stylish bus driver throw.

Summary
With both Marissa and Virgilia having 3-1 records, the judges went to the scorecards for the final decision and Virgilia came out on top 16-11. This puts Virgilia on to face tougher opponents at the National Junior Championships this coming March.
