Replying To moros:  "Not worth continuing. I seen some clubs didn't supply players at all. Hard to know how clubs like St Joseph's are considered North Roscommon. Looks like the idea from the County board is to keep this team in the competition but let it get hammered at the same time. Hardly development of any sort."
The only thing Moros is it gives players a chance to experience senior football. The Joseph's lads will never get that chance and the Kilbride lads for example could be five to seven years before they might reach senior again. Once you get relegated from senior the standard everywhere just drops. Even training goes down. You have to hand it to western Gaels and their older lads for driving them on every year to stay up.

@moros yes St Josephs are Mid-Roscommon region than North. So yes with Kilbride also featuring the team should be called Mid and North Roscommon or just call them Divisional Roscommon and include any south Roscommon players that might be interested.

Year one of this we had two teams was to be three but South Roscommon opted out. West Roscommon was the other team and they had 8 Elphin starters and they are more North than West. They lost to Pearses by 6 point's Would have been a more interesting game if Adam McDermott Conor Cox named to start had actually played.

Fair enough. Call them a Roscommon Mid / North team but don't call them what their not. Still hard to know if it's feasible going forward? Have any of these teams ever won a game? I acknowledge that some lads get to play a Senior level game but is it ever going to produce a second game for them.
