Well done lads on last week's game, ye came out of the traps flying and although we battled back well and could of won I think ye did deserve the win. Not all doom and gloom for us with the amount of chances we have created in the 3 matches, if we sharpen up our shooting I think we can catch fire some day, must say I never have confidence playing ye lot, you remind me a bit of Armagh 3/4 years ago like us then ye have a forward line to rival anyone's and can do a bit of everything and have a decent midfield just seem to get stuck at qf step, but you have every chance of breaking that run this year, I think any team from 12 can win it but I'd have Donegal and Kerry slightly ahead with all div 1 teams and a few div 2 teams in chasing pack that on their day can beat anyone or catch fire. Best of look for the year ahead and we might meet again later

Does anyone know will the game be live on Youtube GAA Beo?
Should be a great game, Roscommon are starting games well, Galway are finishing them well! Wind also could be a big factor. Whoever wins will be safe and can experiment for rest of the league with the pressure of relegation off.

Seems to be the same team and bench named every week. Wouldn't be surprised to see a couple of changes in starting 15 and couple of changes to the bench

Great win, Roscommon. Three tough games still to come though: The Dubs and Donegal at home and then Mayo away on the last day.

Well done players and management on another valuable 2 points earned.

The strong wind made it another game of two halves and a 11 point half time lead would become 13 five minutes into the 2nd half. After that we took over to out score Galway 2-8 to 0-1. Two fine finishes for goals by Enda and Daire and some outstanding defending late on.

6 points from 4 games put us in the box seat to retain our senior status now, roll on Dublin in the Hyde next Sunday should be a bumper crowd to follow a Roscommon showing plenty of pride,desire and passion.

Massive win for roscommon tonight, these were the type of games they usually lost in.last few minutes. The new recruits have been brillant and deservedly held their jerseys. St brigids players will find it tough to break into starting line up. Well done to the players and management. Everyone thought it was going to be a tough year for new management team they deserve huge credit
