ROSCOMMON Club wins Mayo Championship

As an aside, Andy Moran plays with Ballaghdereen but would the fact that he lives in County Roscommon entitle him to play with Roscommon as per GAA rules?

Maybe under the weaker counties rule in Hurling

No, as per GAA rules he can't.

Andy would have to move to another part of Co Ros and transfer to the local club before he would be eligible to play for his native County 
Under GAA rules Ballagh is as much part of Mayo as Belbloodymullet

Does someone want to play this for the poor Rossie lads?

Considering a currently cash-strapped Mayo GAA is benefitting by €160,000 of Roscommon money, it's ye who should be performing for us

Well Ballagh must be considered a Roscommon team now surely, sure Mayo teams don't do losing to Sligo....

Seeing that Castlerea and Kilbride lost today I think we'll let Mayo have Ballagh for the moment

I'm surprised to see that the little village of Creggs hasnt been mentioned.

(maybe it has but im not bothered readin back on all 11 pages)

Creggs id geographically in Galway, but yet plays Roscommon football.

However, Creggs isnt near as big a loss to Galway as Ballagh is to Ros'

For the record, Andy Moran's brother Vinnie has won about 20 All Ireland handball titles from mayo from underage up.

We lost to Curry up in Sligo - following year we won the All Ireland, a defeat by a Sligo team can do wonders for motivation

I was thinking the same thing yesterday. That day v Curry we were a mess yet ......... Can Ballagh do something similar? They look great in full flow but they need to learn to win the tight games. Their game is suited to Summer conditions and they ll have to adapt if they re to win a provincal. They should be favourites to win Mayo again next year imo.
