Roscommon football is at low tide this spring to say the least. Been a long time now since I've seen a primrose team win a match.

Basic errors, particularly when it came to kicking and when to kick let us down. Not unlike two years ago at minor against the same. Can't be too surprised by the result but this and the form of the minors indicating they may not do much better should serve as a wake up call to the CB about penny pinching at the grades that were the platform for most of our best players to be developed.

I was pulling the piss out of CK's confidence but this was always going to be a touch-and-go match. Well done to Sligo. They'll be up against it in the final but you never know. It would be some time for them to win their first and last U21 Connacht title.

Donegal just a better side, Tyrone needed to do the job the first time around.

Have Donegal still many players to come back in?

0-18 to 1-9 FT

O'Neill sent off at the end for striking O'Donnell (no, really!).

Think Jason McGee was the main one missing tonight. Ciaran Gillespie was back for his first game of the season.

A few of the lads who've been featuring for the seniors had very good games from the sounds of it (Langan, Brennan, Mulligan).

Cavan next.

Apparently we looked a bit dodgy under the high ball.

Big game by Darragh Cummings in midfield, kicked 4 points in a row in the second half.  Good to see Eddie Mcguinness back.

Listened to the game on shannonside, that hegarty lad is funny but nuts.  He spent more time talking about tea and other stuff rather than the match itself.

Great to have a final to look forward to, we know it will be tough but it would absolutely be brilliant to win our first and only u21 title in the last year of the competition.

Well done Sligo. People more in the know than me were pretty confident we'd win but going up to Kiltoom is never easy for us. Glad we're through and I'd expect we'll not be a million miles away the next day. Up Sligo.

Kudos to CK for putting his neck on the block all along on this one. Most people who aren't shitheads give credit where it's due.

Good win for Donegal. Finished what they should have done last week.

O'Neill sent off at the end for striking O'Donnell (no, really!).

This made me laugh out loud

Me too.

So what about Cavan v Donegal? Is it a home game for Cavan? Donegal would be hot favourites nonetheless, especially after two strong battle-hardenings against Tyrone, whereas Cavan barely had a had put on them against Fermanagh. I'm not familiar with either side beyond there, what do those of you in the know think about it?

Like I said you never know.  Sligo win by a goal.  6 minutes of extra time played?

Great call CK. 

Any comments or betting advice syf?

Thanks!!
I had seen both teams and Sligo were miles ahead in terms of gameplan. Not sure who manages Roscommon but they werent overly well set up. Sligo will test Mayo
