It's scary how they could win a title this year while they are in transition and they have a massive future ahead of them. Pearses wont be far away either.and should clann win a title they wont go anywhere outside the county. Is winning a county title worth the expenses been paid to Kearns,Gilligan and the keeper coach from Tipperary? Maybe if you win it's worth the massive money but cant see them having a say outside the county. And they may not be far away from a title like 2018 with a cheaper management and invest they money in underage where they have been extremely poor in recent years compared with their neighbor's in kiltoom who run a serious operation and put the rest of the county to shame but Clann only club realistically who have similar resources"
Clann underage has just gone from bad to worse and there is real concern that there will be very few young players coming through in the next 5-6 years that will make a difference at senior level. The appointment of LK was a must because they have to keep this current squad of players together for this period until they get better players coming through from underage. There were huge rumblings going around that if they continued with last years management team they would lose a number of younger players from the current squad. They need a manager at senior level of the calibre of a LK and the club have seen this. The appointment of LK for a second term is a must and the revamp of underage is also a must within that club.

On the topic of underage, Brigids into the minor final and on course for 5 minor county titles in a row after beating Clann by 11 points in Kiltoom tonight. Strong Brigids line up with seniors R Fallon, B O'Carroll starting but 16 year old Bobby Nugent grabbed the headlines with 2-6.

Brigids are a phenomenal well run club. The talent coming through is scary. They should be very proud of what they have been doing down there. Unfortunately they have lost players down the years to rugby like the cartys a.d Murray's but they still produce year on year and are a credit to the county

Brigids are setting the standards and example for the rest of us. The county will only gain from it too. Congratulations !

Yes Brigids the best run football club in the county, have lost a number of top footballers to rugby the last few years and still kicked on.

Padraig Pearses v St Josephs
Pearses should win this handy enough Joes snuck into the quarter final and i dont think they will have enough to trouble pearses. Pearses by 10-15 points

St Brigids v Kilglass Gaels
Brigids should be to strong for kilglass who are in the quarter final via a play off

Western Gaels v St Michaels
Michaels the happiest of all the unseeded teams think this match is the only chance for a first team to reach a semi final

Clann na nGael v Roscommon Gaels
Clann are favourites for the junior championship and could run riot against a young roscommon gaels team

Why are Saint Brigids being lauded so highly here?? Thye have a huge pick, huge financial backing and poach players and so forth. I would argue smaller clubs are doing better considering the resources at their disposal

I think that they are running towards the end of the road in terms of players that will take them on to the next level, but you might be right about the rugby being a huge influence on them.

Who will win the first football final of the year this Saturday?

It's reported by plenty of journalists now that spectators from Tuesday will be allowed to return to matches. I hope they are right and at least 500 supporters are at the senior and Intermediate finals this weekend.

There were plenty of finals played over the weekend so it is hardly the first football final of the year

Newbie you say? I have nearly 40 posts- how dare you tell me what to do?? are you a moderator?? If not mind your own business and if so own up and grow up. You obviously do not like people disagreeing with your ridiculous analysis. I think you need to get out more my friend. You need to live a little. More to life than posting here you know

I have many pots of different sizes and shapes, 1 kettle just like my username. The mask continues to slip for you. A tiresome and sad routine you play on here. Time to cop yourself on.

These type of comments are exactly what's wrong with some other Roscommon clubs. Brigids are where they are from hard work at underage which they are seeing the results of now. Firstly look back over the last 5 or 6 years there management have been largely passed club members which I would believe didnt need huge financial backing. They also have less of a population pick then other clubs clann, pearses, gaels, boyle etc. What current members of there senior panel have been poached I'd be interst to know? In fact they have players poached from them this tear.Brigids have managed to hold a number of young lads together and interested in football where other clubs have had stronger underge teams where unable to do so.

The comments about Brigids are from a poster who more often than not posts on the Leitrim forum. Most Roscommon people have nothing but respect for what Brigids achieve and continue to do so both underage and adult level.

"Firstly look back over the last 5 or 6 years there management have been largely passed club members which I would believe didnt need huge financial backing"

Just on this point there was a time within this period they were paying out the most expenses in the county for management team and all three members were locals from the area.
Last year they had Ex Ireland Rugby coach Eddie O'Sullivan involved and he wasn't doing it for nothing.
