Oh well. On the law of averages they were due to win a close one. Disappointing that we didn'[t close it out if they were down to 14.

Who won the other semi?

[Shrewdness]

Fair play to Ros. They bucked the trend of everything else going on in Ros Gaa at the moment.
Delighted to be proven wrong in my prediction. On paper, i felt that we had a stronger U-21 team in each of the last 2 years than this year, but of course, games aren't played on paper.

Hopefully this result will give the whole football scene in Ros a badly needed shot in the arm.

[Blue and Navy]

Galway and Sligo gone to extra time as have Dublin and Carlow. Hopefully Ros kick on, its a big win, it would be great to see them challenge for the Connacht first and then the all-ireland

[Blue and Navy]

Sligo v Roscommon Connacht under 21 final.

[Shrewdness]

I reckon the final should be in Hyde Park, but i seem to remember Ros beating Sligo last year in Markievicz Park, but i stand corrected. Fair to say that we had 2 surprise results today, but fair play to the winners.

[Blue and Navy]

Ya, i'm not sure where it will be but hopefully it'll get a big crowd. Really fancied Mayo to do something this year, but there you go. Its certainly a topsy-turvy competition this year, Westmeath kinda came out of nowhere in Leinster as well, and Carlow went so close against Dublin, although that group has form.

[Turlough O Carolan]

Sligo will have home advantage as the teams last met in Kiltoom in 2008. Both teams will have a realistic hope of being Connacht Championship. Galway would have been expected to be the strongest team in the province so that was a mighty win for Sligo. Fair play to Ros for taking Mayo in the second half, a man down and against the wind. Sometimes the Gods do shine down on the lesser mortals of Connacht! But with Leitrim also running Mayo very close, it is nice to see such an even Connacht championship.
