Not really. Kildare operated from D2 many years and still were one of the best eight teams in the country under McGeeney. I don't think we've yet proven ourselves to be a top 8 team.

were they really top 8 though. They got good runs in the back door with quite a few handy draws  but the got beaten every time against top teams. They couldn't beat Down in 2010 regardless of the Sq ball and donegal took them in 2011. They never beat a big county when it mattered.

Rossies will win schools,u21 and senior div 1 team. And the summer is only starting. Rossies will make a top 4 push in div 1 nxt year.

They beat more than enough counties and were more than consistent enough to say they were a top eight team. In 2010-11 they were genuine AI contenders to boot.

On a side note, I hope Damien Comer is ok after being stretchered off today.

When were Roscommon last in division 1 or top level in the league as it used to be.

[Itchy]

Congrats to the rossies

12 years ago was our last time in the top flight, I think.

[Shrewdness]

Thanks Itchy. Tough on Cavan to miss promotion. Like ourselves, they came up to Div 2 for this year and fought a good campaign. I think a few early home defeats proved their undoing re promotion. But the most important thing that this league campaign showed, is that Cavan are an improving team heading in the right direction. Not every team can say that.

[Rossfan]

2003 Division  wasn't the same as there were 16 teams in D 1 in 2 Sections.
I think I read on stolensheep it was 1992 ??
Ross4life might tell us as he seems to have a lot of facts.

[gibbs32]

I predicted galway and ourselves to get promoted. Fair play to down although cavan were top notch this year. Nothing less than a connacht title will be seen as a success.harsh maybe but its there for rossies.

[BennyCake]

No harm to the Rossies. But Meath should be up instead. +8 better off. The sooner that stupid head to head rule is scrapped the better.
