Can't remember Offaly and Roscommon meeting in a final before at any grade. Great to see that none of the usual suspects are there but makes it hard to gauge. Who do people fancy for this?

Some one beat me to creating this post, I was thinking of posting similar all week but didn't get around to it..while not being biased but I think Offaly are too mobile for Roscommon, Roscommon wont be found wanting I know but Offaly I think will have too much pace and can get goals against a solid but non pacy Roscommon full back line..

Really looking forward to this one.

Would love to see Offaly get the win but nothing against the Rossies obviously.

Good match so far though Roscommon have been very wasteful. Dominating possession but not scoring. Offaly seem more composed.

Offaly made hard work of it. They were way ahead before giving the bad goal away

Fantastic win for the Offaly lads delighted for them. The Roscommon lads can hold their heads up high too. Most enjoyable game. Lovely to see the Lowery family in HQ too.

Good day for the Faithful folk. Roscommon had the better of the first half, but good work by Declan Kelly, and his selectors, got Offaly on the way in the third quarter. Roscommon came back strongly in the final quarter, but Offaly held on. Great game, hard luck to Roscommon.
We will enjoy this one.

Offaly were brilliant all year and fully deserved the win today, hard luck to Roscommon as a neutral at the game it was some atmosphere for an under 20 final. When was the last time an under 20 final was in Croke park?

Well done Offaly, a very likeable team. Great style of football by both teams. Hopefully this success can drive Offaly on now at Senior. Jack Bryant, Cormac Egan, Cathal O'Donoghue, Cathal Flynn and John Furlong should all play Senior for Offaly. Daire Cregg, Colin Walsh, James Fitzpatrick and Adam McDermott Senior prospects for Roscommon.

Congratulations to offaly hard luck Roscommon what a great match end to end attacking no hand passing back wards by either team win the ball and all out attack, Hopefully football wont be coached out of these boys when they get to senior teams
