Brigids saying that they forfeited the Junior A game to allow players and fans attend both games and that wasn't possible due to the CCC's scheduling.
The Junior game was down for a 1.30 throw in in Johnstown and the Senior game is 4.30 in Woodmount - not exactly sure how there would be a clash there? The grounds are 10 minutes apart from each other.
Spare a thought for St Ronans - win 2 out of 3 games in the group while Brigids lose their 2 games by a combined 60+ points. Ronans come 3rd on points difference and have to play a playoff while Brigids get pulled out to go straight through and then don't even bother to play the quarter final.

Attended the senior Quarter-final In Ballyforan last night. The wet and windy weather meant it wasn't going to be a night for pretty football.
Strokestown 6 points winners and on the balance of play probably good value for that margin of victory however Castlerea will rue those two big goal chances wasted (one a saved penalty) in the opening 15 minutes plus their shooting for two-pointers was very wayward.
Without the injured David Neary,Shane McGinley the likes Colin Neary,Tom Corcoran,Timmy Gibbons,Colin Compton stood up for Strokestown last night. Special mention to Shane McDonnell, torrid time with injuries the last few years and it was good to see him back to his best last night. Only 19 and will hopefully get his promising career back on track now.
I watched two other games online when I got home.
Clann had 5 points to spare on Faithleachs at the end after a right good battle that Faithleachs was leading by 2 approaching the final quarter and Ciarian Murtagh couldn't have done much more as he scored 1-6.
Paddy Gavin, Oisín O Flaherty,Paul McManus and Ultan Harney stood out for Clann as they looked the fitter side in the closing stages. In the end it was the Elphin game thaf proved the real killer for Faithleachs.
Kilmore v Michaels was a real dogfight of a watch. Two sides that aren't that physical and the weather conditions didn't help the contest. Michael's eventually prevailing 2-9 to 1-10 AET to reach back to back semi-finals big improvement from a club who spent a number of years down in Junior. Kilmore scored deep into added time to bring the contest to extra-time but their legs looked gone in extra-time as they only scored once in that 20th minute period.
Elsewhere routine win for Croans to retain Intermediate status not sure why Pearses weren't competitive in any match this year when they have the pick and quality to do a whole lot better.

Replying To Ros13: "Brigids saying that they forfeited the Junior A game to allow players and fans attend both games and that wasn't possible due to the CCC's scheduling.

That Brigids statement makes no sense when you outline it as you have.
On social media I see the Roscommon CCCC are getting the blame and people standing by Brigids but why?
Three hour gap between the matches and a short drve between the venues. Not enough of an excuse for team to concede Quarter final.
