Another cliffhanger tonight and just about deserved a 1 point win, primarily based on the first half performance (3-12 to 1-17). Fair play to Galway who came back from being 9 points down at half time and had a long distance kick to nearly win it at the end. Roscommon will learn an awful lot from this performance and their is certainly improvement in them.
Lots of players played well but Enda Browne looks like a special player who deserved his man of the match award.
Can the Rossies keep the run going and top if off with a first ever triple on Sunday?

Sneaky feeling mc geeney, and Joyce have minded their squads for these games? Both have learned a lot over last few seasons.

Replying To letsgetgoing:  "Strong team and bench where D. Cregg, R. Stack and R. Fallon were always expected to return if fit.
Shows the improved strength of the panel when C. Lennon, U. Harney and E. Colleran can't even make the 26 players named. Not easy for Mark Dowd to communicate that news to the three lads and several others. But strong competition is what is needed if you want to dine at the top table."
I would be looking to have fallon or stack on from the start. We need to dominate the middle third from the start and not let them dominate like last year where darcy had a field day. Galway will be looking to create one on one's in the middle third.This game will tell us where we are really in terms of fitness, can we maintain it going down the final stretch.

Another Connacht crown won in Tuam last night.
Fair play to the Minors who were playing their 1st game in 3 or 4 weeks.
It showed at times.
Saw some great footage of the cup being walked over the Suck bridge into Ballyfiran.
Dare we dream that we can do what we've never done before and make a clean sweep in Connacht?
Either way 2026 is proving to be some year so far and hopefully more to come.
Best of luck tomorrow ,play without fear and see how it goes.
