The CCCC committee than the chairman choose the venue.

@ Saynothing (Tyrone) not about distance would be a welcome change for a Roscommon underage team to not play Ulster opposition in a Ulster venue. It's over a decade since that happened I believe.

Would certainly not be underestimating Derry, poor in the 2nd half granted against impressive looking Tyrone however were leading at half time and Ulster Runners-ups have all been strong the last few years. Lack of competitive action leaves us very much unknown.

Kerry 0-21 Tyrone 1-10 in the U20 All-Ireland final today. Gives some perspective on Roscommon bringing Kerry to extra-time and holding them to 0-11 in 60 minutes.

And Roscommon had a chance to win it in normal time as we were well on top in the second half.

Very strange game yesterday. Tyrone were well on top early in the final and lead by 8 points (1-7 to 0-2) after about 17 minutes and looked to be the best team. Then Kerry took complete control at midfield and kicked 19 points to Tyrones 3 points to win it by eight. They also lost their captain and corner forward Paddy Lane to injury so it was some turn around.
We will certainly see some of these young Roscommon players play at senior level in the future.

Hopefully the minors will progress next weekend.

Did that mean the changes worked eventually?"
It means exactly what I said. The bench made a big difference and that is why if used properly can be the winning of games. Hand made an impact as soon as he came on.

We'll see who we draw tomorrow morning. We don't have a great championship record in The Hyde but I still hope we get a home draw. No room for errors now. If we lose, we're out. I never saw more Roscommon flags flying up the county. Hope it doesn't all end in mid June.

I was referring to the changes in defence.
We scored 1-9 in each half.
We conceded over twice as much 1st half than 2nd (2-11 to 1-5). We only subbed 1 defender.
Suggests our rearranged defence got to grips with things in the second half??

What do you think the starting 15 should be for our next game.

Dowdy will pick the real team but I'd be inclined to go back to the starting 15 v Galway, not that my opinion is relevant or anything!
