Collie Clarke is going to be flat out.
Managing the Clonguish senior ladies and selector/coach with the Clonguish senior men.

A win is a win. Some positive aspects to it alright but made hard work of it & were holding on at the end. A few lads still to come back, hopefully. Fullback & centre back were excellent. Reuben was good too at midfield.

A sterner test awaits this coming Saturday against Cavan (who probably aren't as good as they were last year).

Not what I was told. I'd know his uncle fairly well from Drumlish and he said he was happy out playing for Longford under O'Loughlin. Duggan wasn't the only other talented player to leave the county team

Was it not that he wasn't happy with the gametime he was getting under Paddy Christie that's started it? Either way let him off. If he was happy enough to make such a rash short term decision, then Roscommon are welcome to him.

Appreciate there is the Family connection, but having grown up in Longford, continuing to play club football within Longford and having played all the way up to Senior with Longford, it doesn't say much that he jumped ship so young/early. He might be fortunate to get a bit more game time with the few departures the Rossies have had this year.

Nothing got to do with game time.
Same issue happened another very talented player on the panel at the same time and he also left.
