Connacht Senior Championship 2018

[seafoid]

Hopefully we'll have most of themy back for Round 4

I had Roscommon marked down to reach the super 8 but with all these injuries mounting up i have my doubts now, after a good league the rossies could likely face a repeat of 2016 (Connacht final defeat followed by a round 4 defeat)

3 Connacht teams in the last 8 is a possibility

But maybe no games in the Hyde......

Are you still for conceding the Connacht championship given we have all those injuries?

[Rossfan]

I'll concede nothing but seems officialdom wants the Hyde out of the equation?
Seeing as we're effectively in examinership we're fighting on a wake stomacheen

In the case of Galway, would Roscommon concede home advantage or bring it to Castlebar? Provided tonight goes as the Indo indicates

The whole of Roscommon would eat sand for a month or two before allowing it to go to Castlebar.

Personnally i would bring it to Croker like the Ulster final a few years ago. Our record in McHale us shocking and Galway have an excellent record there. Salthill is a nightmare and most Roscommon people would be up and down from Croker quicker than Salthill on match day. It would also stick two fingers up to Connaght council who are acting the bollox. Anyway it doesnt matter in the slightest unless we get over Leitrim Saturday evening

Sligo beat Mayo in a challenge last night.

Ros team
Lavin
Murray Domican McInerney
McManus B Stack Devaney
Compton O'Rourke
E Smith Kilroy Fintan Cregg
Donie Smith and the 2 Murtaghs.

Niall Daly the 2 Lennons and Harney injured.
Bench lightweight enough as a result.
Once the lads are focused we should be winning this handy.
However if they think they're in the Final already could be in for a rude awakening.

Subs
16 James Fetherstone (Roscommon Gaels)
17 Cathal Cregg (Western Gaels)
18 Conor Daly (Padraig Pearses)
19 Finbar Cregg (Western Gaels)
20 Gary Patterson (Michael Glaveys)
21 Ian Kilbride (St Brigids)
22 Padraig Kelly (St Brigids)
23 Ronan Stack (St Brigids)
24 Ross Timothy (St Croans)
25 Sean McDermott (Western Gaels)
26 Shane Killoran (Elphin)

Looks on the light side alright. 4 injuries to possible starters doesn't help am i right in saying a few of those subs didn't play in the NFL at all this year?

[Rossfan]

I think Finbar, Kelly, Patterson and Ronan Stack didn't anyway.
Still Cathal, Seànie and Conor Daly are good subs to have around.
Timothy and Killoran aren't bad either.

Galway probably have a better record in Castlebar than in Salthill to be honest.

Probably best to leave this talk for the time being though as Sligo and Leitrim will have their say yet.

Finbar played in the early rounds but had a nightmare against Down(Lost a tooth in warmup) and hardly featured after.

The only reason Patterson didn't feature was because he was with the club for most of the league too. I like the look of the bench with a few experienced players and a couple of good newcomers in the likes of Kelly and Timothy.

Padraic Kelly was dropped for league and came back in a few weeks ago, never should've been dropped in first place. He's not flashy but I think he will see plenty of action against Leitrim  and coukd be z dark horse for starting a connacht final if we escape Carrick on Saturday....
