Brilliant to see Brady given a chance and Richard hughes back. I hope Flynn from Tulsk goes well. Always rated him underage. I've got a good feeling about Rio's year. First time in about six years

Best of luck, the new lads especially, tomorrow to Ros and also to Brigids.
Strokestown mounted 2 great comebacks but that feckin 4th goal against the run of play killed them.

They can now rest and then prepare for their real Championship.

Rumours of some County Bridgidines going travelling after Club Championship over.
Haven't heard names but would suspect younger ones.

Interesting to see so few players from North of the county involved today. If I'm correct there is only 7 players in the squad from the North. Considering all the St Brigids players are still to come back the future doesn't look too bright for the northern counties. What happened to Adam Mcdermot, 2 years ago looked like he was going to break through?

Correction, clubs not counties.

Good day all round for the Roscommon football I'll start off by giving my congratulations to Brigids.

A few nervy moments in the final 15 minutes but the better more skillful and controlled team certainly won that match. In a match that Ben O'Carroll was well marked 21 year old Bobby Nugent really stood up with 0-7. R Fallon,P McGrath were very good once again. Excellent finished on the goal by Brian Derwin.

A lot of the talk before the game was Scotstown ability to score two pointers and Beggan mainly scoring them but he held to a point and Scotstown to 1 two pointer. A special mention to Trundle for that Excellent save late on. Best of luck to them in the final so close to winning the All-Ireland in 2024 will hopefully go one better in two weeks.


As for FBD all too easy for Roscommon with the game as a contest over midway through the 1st half. Moving well looking fit but will have a better idea where we are when we play Mayo in the Hyde next Sunday.

What's that noise? Veteran something from Monaghan closing the door on the way out of the Roscommon forum.

Some great defensive contributions today. Trundles block and I have to say Ryan O Toole has it all. The better team
Won though and when the legs are gone in the heat of battle you'll have poor decision making. Brigids more or less nullified Beggan too as we all predicted. Haven't seen the Dingle semi final yet? Will o Connor be allowed play? They won't win without him.

Well done Brigids and Ros.
Tougher tasks await.

They could win without him and they could lose with him. He was good at time yesterday but was anonymous for good chunks of the game too.
There are no guarantees.
Brigid's we're excellent today and I hope they can finish the job. They play a lovely brand of football. As do An Daingean. It should be a great game.
