Roscommon manager Liam Tully was left to regret his side's missed goal chances in the first half of their All-Ireland U20FC final loss to Offaly.

The Rossies passed up on three guilt-edged goal scoring opportunities in the opening quarter and paid the price as Offaly went on to win a thrilling contest by 1-13 to 1-10.

"If you miss them, they don't go up on the scoreboard," he ruefully reflected. 

"They have to go in. We had the opportunities and it didn't happen. We had opportunities in different games in different pitches and they didn't happen. It's probably one of our faults - getting the chances but not scoring a high rate of them.”

Tully was quick to congratulate the Faithfuls on their success.

"There could be only one winner of the two teams today and, as it happened, Offaly came out on top. In the end there was just the one score between us, and I suppose fair play to Offaly.”
