Congrats Roscommon, I hope you take this now and get a good run on the AI championship, a semi final at least and who knows after that. Fine performance, both teams will benefit from today's game and hopefully fly the flag for Connacht well into the AI series

Just relaxing over a few pints after a mighty win. Congratulations to all the panel members, Mark Dowd and his full management team. A little shout out to Mick Comerford our S&C guy who has the team in top shape. Hopefully he can bring us further like he has done with Kilkenny in the past.
Delighted for Diarmuid Murtagh who has toiled for years in the St Faithleachs and Roscommon jerjeys.
To the best of my knowledge only four St Faithleachs players have captained the Roscommon senior team;
Pat Lindsay, Danny Murray, Ciaran Murtagh and Diarmuid Murtagh. All have lifted the Nestor Cup. Some record.
Bring on Tyrone!

Roscommon respect. I've been well impressed by Roscommon since the opening round of the league. Set the cat amongst the pigeons with great results in Division 1. Roscommon have now backed it up in Connacht. Fully deserving winners. Comhghairdeachas!

Very many congrats Rossies.

Wow - Roscommon become the first county in Connacht to make it a clean sweep of Senior, U20 and Minor Football Championship Titles in the same season.

What an achievement.... Excellent stuff. Well done.
Enjoy the celebrations.

Replying To The_analyser:  "Congratulations to all the Roscommon players and management.

Super stuff our fitness a telling difference as we finished a game very strongly once more. Bench impact probably to be expected given our strength in depth not just the 26 but the quality of players that aren't even getting on the 26.

Darragh Heneghan fully deserved his MOTM mad to think the previous management didn't think he was good enough. So many others that stood out today also, Senan Lambe for one outstanding.

To win Connacht Senior,U20,U17 is outstanding achievement and we also had Roscommon teams win the senior and Intermediate club Connacht titles last winter.

Lastly hard luck to Galway. You have been great Connacht champions 12 wins in a row in Connacht I believe and 4 in a row titles, best of luck to you in the All-Ireland series always has been a great respect between the two counties."
Fair play to you and enjoy the celebrations. The win was well deserved.

Slight correction. Its the first time ros have done clean sweep. Galway , on a few occasions, and Mayo have done it previously.
