Best wishes to Ultan Harney on his retirement. He gave everything to the Roscommon cause since he appeared on the scene as a very talented young minor. That's all you can ask for. Thanks Ultan. letsgetgoing (Roscommon) - Posts: 960 - 20/10/2026 19:17:51 2698051 Link

Hope he enjoys the retirement. foreveryoung (USA) - Posts: 2637 - 21/10/2026 14:28:40 2698123 Link

He scored a great goal for the U21s in the All Ireland semi final in 2014 against Cork. Always felt Ultan had the ability to achieve more at senior inter county level than he actually did. endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2795 - 21/10/2026 18:11:16 2698150 Link
I remember thinking he was excellent in that Div 2 league final against Galway, seemed to be in great condition. And from memory but could be wrong think he was one of the few bringing the fight to Galway when they out muscled and out thought us in the championship game the same year. His profile is actually ideal for the new rules physical, athletic, good kicker of the ball. It said in the article he's only 29, that's such a shame. He should be at his peak.

I'd say he's more like 31? From memory wasn't 2016 his last year at u21? Seanfan (Roscommon) - Posts: 983 - 22/10/2026 10:44:01 2698190 Link
Replying To Seanfan: "I'd say he's more like 31? From memory wasn't 2016 his last year at u21?" I would have thought he was in his 30s alright so was surprised when I saw 29. FullOfPorter (Roscommon) - Posts: 628 - 22/10/2026 11:53:22 2698196 Link
Replying To Seanfan: "I'd say he's more like 31? From memory wasn't 2016 his last year at u21?" Yes 2016 was his last year with the U21s. He's 30 will turn 31 next month. The_analyser (Roscommon) - Posts: 4523 - 22/10/2026 13:22:37 2698208 Link
Best wishes to Ultan a great servant and doesn't need to be said, it's a huge shame that he never got a right run of it injury free. A profile we don't produce many of, even watching him against Boyle in the championship 2 months I felt he had something to offer next year but easy saying that watching from the couch! Great to hear of 3 young lads ( I am sure there are more), called in for next year, we could well be without the Brigids lads again so no reason why Kenny, Carty, Heneghan etc can't stake a claim.

Best of luck to Ultan Harney on his retirement. He was some player when injury free. Pity he had such bad luck with injuries but that's the way it goes in sport. Wishing Eire Og all the best in the Intermediate final hoping this is your year. It would be great to see ye in senior football next year.

Any thoughts on Sundays Intermediate Football final? Bookies has Tulsk as slight favourites while the majority of pundits/journalists in our local papers have gone for Éire Og to finally get over the line in a final. Tulsk have scored 7-75 (96) on route to the final and Éire Og scored 5-79 (94) Both started off the championship with a round 1 defeat and have come into form since. Top scorer in the Intermediate championship is Conor Cox with 0-46 and 2nd in that list is Tomas O'Rourke with 2-36 (42) Unchanged teams from the semi-finals I believe Tulsk Sean Martin Niall McNamara James Brady Ross Flynn Padraig Scott Evan Flynn Dylan Gaughan Ryan Larkin Tadhg O'Rourke Cathal O'Rourke Thomas O'Rourke Gavin Callaghan Callum Fahey Darragh O'Rourke Daniel Connolly Éire Og Colm Lavin Jarlath Lavin Ciaran Lavin Mark Finan Joe Hester Denis Barron Niall Flanagan James Greene Enda Crawley James McGreal Ronan Cahill Eoghan Walsh Jason Doory Conor Cox Brian Greene The_analyser (Roscommon) - Posts: 4523 - 23/10/2026 19:12:04 2698382 Link
