This weekend’s Christy Ring Cup clash between Roscommon and Kildare sees the Rossies seeking redemption of sorts.

Last year the sides met in the championship and on that occasion at Newbridge, Kildare won by 4-26 to 1-09 in what was a forgettable day for Roscommon.

This weekend, the sides meet in Athleague and Kildare will be looking to record a similar result, while Roscommon manager Ciaran Comerford has stressed that his charges will not be as bad this time around.

“It’s easy to refer to it because lads are open and honest. They know that they never performed at any stage in that game,” said Comerford.

“Results after that showed that we certainly weren’t 26 points a worse team than them, though we certainly were that day.

“Lads themselves realise how bad they were individually and as a collective management too have to admit our shortcomings and ask if we should have protected the players much better in terms of our set-up. We’d all have to be honest and hold our hands up on that one.”
