Yous are 28-1 to win all Ireland. That big odds considering ye are in Connacht (Monaghan are 40-1, likely based on fact they are in ulster)

Monaghan won 2 out of last 3 Ulsters  so Bookies must reckon they've shot their bolt.

We'll find out for ourselves on the last day of January. First game of D1 but the loser will be odds-on for relegation.

More to do with the draws in both provinces. Ros only need to beat Sligo to get to a final.

Mayo have entered a pre season under 21 comp which is called the north west cup . I think it's a new competition , it involves ourselves , Fermanagh , Donegal and Sligo and is starting next Saturday the 2nd Jan with a trip to belcoo for Mayo.

Irrelevant - neither of us will win an AIQF, an AISF and the AIF in 2016.

Roscommon's version of an  all ireland title- over to you lads. Dont let us down

It's not a new competition but Mayo are new to it I think.

[Shrewdness]

Maybe Mayo were finding some of the opposition in the Hastings Cup a bit too hot for their liking.

[Itchy]

I'm sure I read somewhere that tournament in Sligo is new and caters for the overspill from Hastings cup since all these pre season u21 tournaments have been restricted to 8 teams.

[larryin89]

Maybe Mayo were finding some of the opposition in the Hastings Cup a bit too hot for their liking.

Sure now .

Still with all Roscommons big chest thumping over under 21 grade , we still have twice as many all Ireland's and  about three times  as many Connacht titles at this grade than the annoying Rosies.

Sligo have been in this for a good few years.

[Blowitupref]

I'm sure I read somewhere that tournament in Sligo is new and caters for the overspill from Hastings cup since all these pre season u21 tournaments have been restricted to 8 teams.

Its a returning competition. Sligo played in no pre season U-21 tournament this year which former players such as Eamon O Hara was outspoken about it.

Maybe Mayo were finding some of the opposition in the Hastings Cup a bit too hot for their liking.

Sure now .

Still with all Roscommons big chest thumping over under 21 grade , we still have twice as many all Ireland's and  about three times  as many Connacht titles at this grade than the annoying Rosies.

That would be expected given the size and resources of Mayo compared to Roscommon.

Tomorrow's Ros game v Westmeath now at St Loman's 2 pm.
