Replying To letsgetgoing:  "Interesting to see how some of our own under 20's do in the club championship in Roscommon, having beaten a Mayo team in the Connacht final who had a couple/few players who will now play in a senior All Ireland final.
Eoghan Carthy, Michael Gillooly, Nikita Berzins were all impressive defenders while Niall Heneghan and a few others are also worth keeping a close eye on. Minor Enda Browne if he continues to develop also looks to be a very special talent but should not be rushed.
In fairness to Mark Dowd and his management team they did bring several young players through this year.
However the more competition for places in the senior panel the better.

Best of luck to the ladies under 16 team and management in the All Ireland Final tonight."
Tomorrow night??

Replying To QPR1882:  "'will be in croker reluctantly say its a long time since i have been to a womans game but will make the effort'

Thats an incredible statement. Why would you bother going if its putting you out so much. I have been fortunate to have attended the last 3 ladies games with my daughter and it has lifted our spirits after the men's team tame exit in Clones. Looking forward to Croke Park in August and great to see Fermanagh in the final as well."
I said ill reluctantly say its a long time since i have been at a ladies game which i have been embarressed about.

Under 16 girls going very well in the All Ireland final.
10 points up at half time and a bit of a cross wind in their favour in the second half. Aisling Kennedy outstanding in the first half. Defence also playing well.
Looking good at this moment in time but anything can happen at underage.
Great to see such Roscommon support fir the team in Kinnigad tonight.

Shane Moran two year term as Roscommon U17 manager has come to an end as he has decided not to opt a further year or two. Under his watch as manager we won back to back Connacht titles played 10 and won 10 in the province. And should we get a handful of those players going on to represent Roscommon Seniors in the years ahead it will be the true measure of success.

Best wishes to Shane, an excellent young coach and manager and total gentleman.

Niall Carty to take over would be the right man - another good coach from the 06 team

Disappointing he's not staying on. Back to back Connacht titles a fine achievement even though we were very poor against an ordinary Derry team in this year's All Ireland quarter final.

Hopefully keep the continuity going.
Is Shane taking time out ....or is his native County calling....?
