Great win over Donegal today. The winning goal with great teamwork the full length of the pitch was really special, with a great pass from Shane Cunnane to Diarmuid Murtagh being worthy of a special mention. It did not look great for us half way through the second half when Donegal hit several two pointers and got it back to a few points. The team and management deserve great credit for having the talent, skills and determination to win a very important match for us and secure division 1 football again next year. Should ensure a good crowd in McHale Park next Sunday. If Armagh did happen to beat Kerry at home next Sunday (probably unlikely) the winner of the Mayo/ Roscommon could even make the league final?

First of a big congratulations to all the Roscommon players and management for securing Division one football for 2027 with a game to play who seen that happening before it started?

Great win for Roscommon today. 11 points ahead at half time and it was feared with the strength of the wind and all the scoring opportunities left behind us 1st half they we might be left to run it come full time.

We two pointers Donegal eat at our lead but were never allowed them to level the game we then really showed our worth then to scored 1-2 and hold Donegal scoreless for the rest of game to fully deserve our place in Division 1.

Lambe,Neary,Higgins,Doyle,Enda,Diarmuid was among out stand out starters. Big impact off the bench from Cunnane,Fallon and Hand hopefully the injury to Fallon isn't a bad one. Another Brigids player Brian Stack recently returned to training so maybe some minutes against Mayo next Sunday?

After 9years up and down in league finals and semis I myself have no heed in finals or semis in the league
Our job is done.
Next week is a glorified challenge and we should play anyone that needs game time and no one else so close to what hopefully will be a interesting championship run for us.

Most gritty and determined performance by roscommon yesterday against the elements and donegal momenteum. Alot of players stepped up big time but still lots of work to be done. Great achievement by players and management

Congratulations to team and management on staying in division 1 for another year. It can only get better for this panel of players to have stiff competition again next year. Remember we were favourites for the drop with ever pundit in the county. Castlebar is a free shot next Sunday as it's unlikely Kerry and Donegal will slip up if they really want to be in the final. Would like to see more game time given to a few fringe players to see how they handle it. An injury free panel is hoped for as the championship nears. Some outstanding displays against a very good Donegal team in atrocious weather conditions would give you some belief that good things can happen this year.

Well done to all players and management on Sunday. One thing I believe is we need to play in division 1 for 3 to 4 years for us to really challenge in championship. Division 1 is where younger players develop to the best of their ability and consistent performances come from. One thing that people outside of roscommon don't realise is we had 11 or 12 debuts this year which is massive for big counties never mind roscommon . So we definitely have made progress

Just after looking at a recording of the match on TG4. The effort and competitiveness of the Roscommon team in very difficult circumstances was outstanding against a very good Donegal team. While it has to be acknowledged that Donegal had 5 reasonable goal chances in the match they were being put under pressure for most of them. We also missed 10 scoring chances in the first half alone. (1 goal chance, 4 2-point shots, 5 1-point shots

I think that the goal that Roscommon scored in the 65 minute has to be a contender for team goal of the season?

65.10 Conor Carroll gathers the ball in the square following a two point effort from Donegal.
Pass to Dylan Ruane to Caelim Keogh to Niall Higgins to Ronan Daly to Eoin McCormack, to Niall Higgins, to Robbie Dolan to Shane Cunnane to Diarmuid Murtagh to Conor Hand.
65.50 GOAL (very direct, forward and speedy play)

At half time the score was Roscommon 1-13 & Donegal 0-5 ( Roscommon 11 points up)

At 49 minutes it was Roscommon 1-14 & Donegal 0-15 (Roscommon only 2 points up and about 21 minutes to play)

Full time Roscommon 2-20 & Donegal 0- 20., which meant Roscommon outscored Donegal by 4 points in the last 20 minutes of the match while facing a gale force wind.
Well done to the management team and all the players; starters,finishers and all panel members.
Should be a good atmosphere in Castlebar next Sunday.
