Replying To endgame: "A provincial title is a big deal for Westmeath who have only won two of them. It's also a big deal in Roscommon even though we have 25 of them. I hope I'm wrong but both teams may struggle to maintain the momentum into the All Ireland series even though Westmeath have a lot a handier game than Roscommon have next. Our match against Tyrone will be a really tough one and a big test for Roscommon." Momentum is a big thing though and you rather have it than not.

Replying To moros: "Where's the positivity. With the right mindset everything is possible." It's great to be where Roscommon are. A first home Connacht title for 25 years and a first home championship win over Galway for 36 years. We're smiling but Tyrone are a tough draw. Best of luck to Roscommon team and management on Sunday. endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2667 - 21/05/2026 15:35:31 2674526 Link
Unchanged starting 15 team named for Sunday. Conor Carroll - St Brigids Patrick Gavin - Clann na nGael Caelim Keogh - Padraig Pearses Eoin McCormack - St Dominic's Eoin Ward - Fuerty Ronan Daly - Padraig Pearses Senan Lambe - Roscommon Gaels Keith Doyle - St Dominic's Conor Ryan - Padraig Pearses Dylan Ruane - Michael Glaveys Enda Smith - Boyle Darragh Heneghan - Michael Glaveys Diarmuid Murtagh - St Faithleachs Colm Neary - Strokestown Rob Heneghan - Michael Glaveys Subs Aaron Brady - Elphin Niall Higgins - Navan O'Mahonys Robbie Dolan - St Brigids Ruaidhri Fallon - St Brigids Brian Stack - St Brigids Ultan Harney - Clann na nGael Shane Cunnane - St Brigids Dáire Cregg - Boyle Paul Carey - Padraig Pearses Conor Hand - St Brigids Cian McKeon - Boyle No Darragh Canavan for Tyrone but he missed the majority of last game where they pushed Armagh all the way. Tough competitive encounter expected. In Kennedy,Fitzpatrick they have one of the best midfield pairings in the country and good full forward in Donnelly,McCurry,Jordan that will need to be kept tabs on. Kieran McGeary returning to their starting team a major boost also. The very best of luck to all the Roscommon players and management on Sunday in Dr Hyde Park.

Before 2026 when was the last time Michael Glaveys had 3 forwards consistently starting for Roscommon? GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 8568 - 23/05/2026 00:06:04 2674709 Link
Good sensible selection by the men in charge. No need to change a winning team. The bench is also very strong and if used properly should be the winning of this one. Tyrone will have had the opportunity of seeing Roscommon in action in 2 championship matches whereas our management team will really only have the Armagh game to judge Tyrone. At this stage league form is of no relevance. Best of luck to all on Sunday Rossieforever (Roscommon) - Posts: 128 - 23/05/2026 09:50:20 2674726 Link
Replying To GreenandRed: "Before 2026 when was the last time Michael Glaveys had 3 forwards consistently starting for Roscommon?" Probably never. Two Glaveys men on the 1980 All Ireland Final team. Dermot Earley ( Army but Glaveys) and Gerry Fitzmaurice. endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2667 - 23/05/2026 10:49:47 2674729 Link
Best of luck to all players and management tomorrow. We're entering the BIG ONE now so here's hoping..... Seanfan (Roscommon) - Posts: 572 - 23/05/2026 11:02:38 2674731 Link
Lads, you know I'm a confident man but Tyrone could be a banana skin for us. Good to see an unchanged 15, as the lads deserve to have their place. If the lads come out knowing they have to play a game, we will win. But I just home some of them don't think it is already won! But I'll go for the Rossies by 5.

Replying To endgame: "Probably never. Two Glaveys men on the 1980 All Ireland Final team. Dermot Earley ( Army but Glaveys) and Gerry Fitzmaurice." Cheers Endgame. I think Dermot and Paul Earley played some games together for Roscommon, but Dermot not a Glaveys player at the time. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 8568 - 23/05/2026 20:21:54 2674860 Link
Replying To GreenandRed: "Cheers Endgame. I think Dermot and Paul Earley played some games together for Roscommon, but Dermot not a Glaveys player at the time." That's still only two.! You are correct there. Dermot Earley's last game for Roscommon was the 1985 Connacht final defeat to Mayo in Hyde Park. Paul Earley also played for Roscommon in that game. Dermot Earley was Army but originally Glavey's and of course born in your county. endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2667 - 23/05/2026 21:05:02 2674872 Link
