Fantastic 9 point win by the Roscommon minors over Mayo tonight. Playing with the wind they were 9 points up (2-3 to 0-0) after only eight minutes of play. Sam Hannon had a great first half kicking 7 points. We lost several kickouts at midfield for a while and Mayo got it back to 3 points by half time. (2-8 to 2-5).
The team played very well against the breeze in the second half and kicked another 2-7 to Mayo's 1-4 for a great 9 point win.
Might be unfair to pick out some players, but Sam Hannon, Tadgh Rogers, Christopher Feerick, Dara Curran ( Fantastic goal, but did turn over possession a few times), Cian Timble ( great interceptions from goal) were very prominent. Dean Casey made a major contribution when he came on and Shay McGuinness won some important ball around the middle in the second half. Very mature play by all the team in the second half.
Nearly guaranteed to get directly into the Connacht final.
Well done to all involved.
Best of luck to the senior team tomorrow.

Outstanding performance from the minors tonight, inspiration leadership from the captain Curran with 2 3 , the 2nd goal was extra special. Sam Hannon kicking some unbelievable points from distance, others to standout on the day were Ferrick with a great 2nd half performance. All round great performance from a team with eyes on the bigger prize. Into the all ireland Quarter Final but are looking to win Connacht. Next up for Roscommon are the winners of Mayo or Galway in the Connacht Final.
