[Rossfan]

We expect to sail back up to Div 1 of course

We expect to sail back up to Div 1 of course

Relegation usually ends up better when it comes to Connacht titles lately. On a more serious note, I do expect Roscommon to be in the promotion push.

[Rossfan]

We'll be disappointed if we're not in the hunt for Promotion.
Mind you D2 will have an added edge this year as Relegation has more serious consequences than before.

[Rossfan]

Nearly there
Will Markypark be able for the crowd and the excitement?

Former Mayo underage goalkeeper to play for Roscommon this year, the rossies 1st and 2nd choice keepers opted out for the year ahead.

Is he any good?
Embarrassing for a County that produced the likes of Aidan Brady, Gay, Cake etc.  We seem to have fallen behind the curve in goalkeeping.

Hopefully he's not any good, at least this weekend.  Assuming of course we are able to get the ball near ye,re goals at all.😃😃😃

I expect Sligo to be prioritising the FBD the year.

FBD semi final line up for next Sunday.

Mayo v Galway - MacHale Park
Leitrim v Roscommon - Páirc Seán Mac Diarmada

[Rossfan]

We played in a couple of spurts, well beaten in the possession stakes, 6 new lads trialled with varying rates of success and we won.
All in all enough to be going on with on the 5th January.
Will be more intense next Sunday as Laythrum play their All Ireland Final.
At least their Stand is better than the low rise at Markypark.
