Replying To Rossfan93: "A quick look forward to the weekend of club football ahead as the Roscommon Senior Club Championships kick off:
Senior:
St. Faithleach's v Padraig Pearses: Hard to look anything past a comfortable victory for Pearses here. Rumour of them missing Niall Daly which could be a factor but with Declan Kenny, Carey, Tumultey, Murray and the rest Pearses should be comfortable winners by 8/9 points.
Clan na Gael v St. Dominics: I expect this to be a tighter game than people may think. Clan to win by 3 or 4 points but I think Dominics will really test the Johnstown men. Will just have a bit too much strength and depth
Western Gaels v Michael Glaveys: Tough one to call here. Western Gaels have been unlucky in the last few years losing their group games by a mere few points. Andy Glennon leaving Glaveys is a huge hot for them to take and they are now going to rely on the Heneghan brothers for their scores. I'm going to say Western Gaels by 2 points but a draw could be on the cards.
Elphin vs St. Brigit's: The favourites meet the Intermediate champions. Orchard Park is a tough ground to go to but Brigits starting 15 (and beyond) is just too packed with quality. Brigits by 10. But I expect Elphin to get out of the group.
Boyle vs Roscommon Gaels: The Gaels are off the back of a very good league campaign with players to come back into the fold. Boyle will be out to avenge the clipping Roscommon Gaels gave them at home last time around and will need huge performances from their outstanding forward line. A very tight affair but I think Boyle will edge this by 1/2 points. The 2 point frees could be the deciding factor in this game with both sides having excellent set piece takers
Oran vs Castlerea: Another good game where Castlerea will look to show everyone their senior status is here to stay. Predicting oran by 5 points but if Castlerea can keep a solid shape at the back, they will really fancy an early win in this group." I assume Daire Cregg will be absent and is a significant loss for Boyle as Donegal Boston have progressed to the semi final. This may give Roscommon Gaels the edge
