Out of interest will you be travelling to the game on Saturday? 7pm throw with the lack of public transport to Cavan town will be an issue I'm sure for plenty. Accommodation on Saturday night everywhere nowadays is way over priced.

Your a hundred percent right. I won't let buckeens from Leitrim denigrate the Ros. It's taken a while but they are showing respect now. Strange stuff from them. Thinking they've a more beautiful wife at home. Thanks again.

"Murtagh refusing to underestimate Monaghan" screamed the headline. s goldrick (Cavan) - Posts: 5524 - 03/06/2026 23:02:02 2677755 Link 0 |

He was basically saying, he is not from Cavan.

I'll go to the game Drax but not stay over. Your minors are playing in Ashbourne. Are you happy with the venue. Tyrone minors looked very good in the Ulster Final.

Would have expected a county ground but a Leinster venue is the appropriate choice venue for a Connacht v Ulster match up. Tyrone will be favourites but if Galway can play like they did in the 2nd half of the Connacht final the young Tribesmens will have a decent chance of pulling off an upset.

Enda Browne not named on the minor team for the Derry game. Huge loss to us. endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2691 - 06/06/2026 12:06:50 2678292 Link 0 |

Best wishes to our U17 footballers in the All-Ireland quarter-final tonight in Breffni Park. We are dealt a big loss to be without Enda Browne arguably our stand out player but hopefully we can overcome that loss to win. The_analyser (Roscommon) - Posts: 4397 - 06/06/2026 12:50:37 2678300 Link 1 |

End of the road for our U17 footballers. 6 point loss the two goals conceded proved telling and we should have defended much better. Shooting efficiency on frees and from play 2nd half hurt us and we very much looked like a team that had played just 1 competitive game in 2 months.

Disappointing for Roscommon and Galway well beaten too. The Connacht Council needs to look at the scheduling of the Connacht minor championship. Too long a gap between our provincial final and the All Ireland quarter final. Think that cost both Connacht teams today. Back to back Connacht minor titles for Roscommon but no repeat of 2006 in 2026. We do seem to struggle against Ulster teams at underage. All our eyes turn now to Clones next Saturday. It'll be some anti climax of a year if we're out of all championships by mid June.

Gap between the Connacht final and All-Ireland quarter-final plus the big gap Roscommon had before the Connacht final eventually caught up. The struggle against Ulster teams at underage happens in Ulster venues a lot it appears also. As for mid June exit well every county is out of the senior championship by June unless you reach All-Ireland semi-final. The nature of the "split season" and rushing the inter county season off as quickly as possible. Gaa_lover (USA) - Posts: 3992 - 07/06/2026 00:36:52 2678423 Link 2 |

Roscommon managed by Mark Dowd lost the All Ireland U21 semi final to Tyrone in 2015 in Markievicz park Sligo.. A Connacht venue for an All Ireland semi final that has always been an unlucky ground for Roscommon. When did Roscommon last beat a Northern team at underage. We did beat Cavan in the 2012 All Ireland U 21 semi final but can't recall when we've beaten Armagh, Tyrone or Derry at underage. The Inter county season ends too early and that point has been made in the hurling championship where teams like Waterford and Tipp were out in May. It's disappointing that after winning Connacht titles at minor , U20 and senior this year, all those Roscommon teams lost their next championship match. endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2691 - 07/06/2026 12:58:52 2678471 Link 0 |

To big of a gap between a condensed season. Did you actually read that post before posting We were beaten on the day by the far better side . You don't think we were playing challenges since the connacht final win. Derry had 7 days from a good tanking from Tyrone to get ready for us. We had 4 weeks got to watch them at least twice in Ulster knew everything about them. We had no excuse yesterday. Same lads will be telling you the 5 weeks Tyrone had before beating us was the difference that we only had 2. We were beaten fair and square yesterday.

Not sure what you want me to read back on. Challenge games are pointless they don't come close to the environment of competitive championship matches. Derry was prepped for the All-Ireland series with proper Ulster championship scheduling, they probably learnt more about themselves in that one defeat to Tyrone than they learnt from their previous three wins. They lost by the same margin to Tyrone as Galway did yesterday. For one they added Rocco Devlin to their starting team and he ended up Derrys top scorer yesterday with 1-2. In the All-Ireland semi-final they will not be playing a rusty Cork as they did Roscommon yesterday. Senior level with Tyrone isn't comparable as they are seasoned and conditioned adult footballers than 15,16,17 year old boys still in school. It is no excuse but factual evidence that the scheduling did Roscommon U17s no favours yesterday. Gaa_lover (USA) - Posts: 3992 - 07/06/2026 17:37:57 2678546 Link 2 |
