Replying To The_analyser:  "Strong 2nd half after a wasteful 1st half in a very cold and windy Dr Hyde Park. FT Roscommon U20s 2-19 Sligo 0-15. Sligo looked decent for the opening 20 minutes yet after that managed 1 point from a tap over breach.

Mayo in MacHale Park up next up us."
Just coming up to half time; Roscommon were 11 points behind (0-3 to 0-14). However there was only one team in it after that, as Roscommon then out scored Sligo by 2-16 to 0-1 to win by ten.
Good and improved overall team performance. They will have to up it again against a strong Mayo team with a few senior players next week.

Excellent team performance by Roscommon U17s as we win 0-14 to 1-6. Apart from a late rally we were well worth that 5 point win, Galway with most of the same players and manager that won the u16 Ted webb cup last year would not have expected that.

Roscommon full value for it - we were very poor.
I wouldn't write off that Galway team yet all the same.
They are better than they showed on the night.
We will see what they're made of now against Sligo and Mayo

Very impressive from Roscommon minors. A really well coached team. Full credit to Shane Moran, his management team and to the players. We're going for back to back Connacht minor titles.

Amazingly Donegal defeat to us two weeks ago was their only defeat in this league campaign. Kerry wouldn't have been in today's final but for a load of breaks in round 1 against us from Brendan Cawley, the manner of the defeat today they probably wished they weren't in the final.

Had we not been robbed of a deserved draw in Killarney we'd have been on 7 points after Galway.
Would we have totally experimented in the last 3 games or have chased a Final place?
I'd say the former.

Roscommon didn't seem interested in getting to the League Final. It seemed to be job done when we were safe from relegation. I still don't understand what happened in the final league match against Mayo in Castlebar.

I find that very difficult to understand. Its not as if Division 1 titles grow on trees. I see that was Murphys 1st today and he has the full set now.
It would be the biggest achievement of Roscommon football since the 70s but they either bottled it(against Dublin) or didnt pursue it.
