JAVANON U19 BOYS WIN US YOUTH SOCCER NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP Javanon defeated the Arsenal FC (CA-S) 3-2 in the finals to win raise the oldest trophy in youth sport, the James P. McGuire Cup and claim the US Youth Soccer Under 19 Boys National Championship for 2006.

The Under-19 Boys National Championship, the oldest of the 12 Championships, has been played annually since 1935, except during World War II. Officially known as the United States Soccer Federation National Junior Challenge Cup, the competition was renamed the James P. McGuire Junior Champion Cup in 1975, after the late United States Soccer Federation President. He played for the Brooklyn Wanderers in 1929, and later joined the Brooklyn St. Mary's Celtics who with McGuire at centre half won the U.S. Open Cup. James McGuire also served on World Cup and various other FIFA committees, and earned an international reputation as an excellent soccer administrator and leader.
