What a day,performance and win. More than made up for the dead rubber heavy loss in the league today. Won't name out any individual players as it was a true team performance credit to management for having them so primed and ready.

Home Connacht final now and a home round 1 game in the All-Ireland series great stuff.

It'll be a big day in Hyde Park in two weeks. Great that Hyde park can host the game. Roscommon haven't beaten Galway in the championship in The Hyde since 1990. A lifetime ago. Well done to players and management on a great performance today.

For the experts here. Where does that leave the likes of Fallon, Stack and Cregg. Good problems are good problems I suppose. Can't but think that Cregg should get a start in the final. It's great potential for competition for places on all departments of the field He'd have had a field day today in a game where Mayo gave up. I've been at a lot of games the last 15 years or so when we've got good batings from Mayo so that was very refreshing today.
Would have a cautionary word for the final. Hopefully we can go up another level but a five in a row seeking Galway will be a tough nut to crack. But for tonight let's bask in that performance. Ros Abu.

Brillant from roscommon in castlebar today everyonr thought they would struggle to get enough scores without daire cregg and that they would struggle at midfield, but thats where they won the game. Keith Doyle had a big game today conor ryan developing with every game. Neary covered every blade of grass darragh henaghan was excellent. But diarmuid with 1 10 was motm. Great work by players and management. But big obstacle ahead in the final hopefully they can put in a similar perfornance in two weeks.

Well done Roscommon you well and truly made a mockery of the pre match odds. When you consider all the players Roscommon was without today the strength in depth is impressive.

Galway v Roscommon now makes for a intriguing Connacht final.

The biggest take from today is that Mark O Dowd and his management team are so competent in what they are doing and the players have complete respect and faith in him. It's so satisfying to beat Mayo
Out the gate as we have been at the mercy of many a trimming over the years. I can't wait for The Hyde.

Goalkeeper now with Brigid's. Brian Stack would have started if he was fully fit. Some selection headaches for Mark Dowd in two weeks but he seems to know the team he wants to play and he sure got it right today.

Roscommon can struggle to put together two good back to back performances. Hope that changes in two weeks. We have a good chance but Galway will be favourites. It'd be a sweet Connacht title beating both Mayo and Galway which of course we did for our last provincial win in 2019.

Brilliant win today. Have nothing to fear about with Galway. I very much believe we will win it iby 5 or 6 points. Up the Rossies
