Rampant Roscommon helped by Leitrim’s ‘self-destruction’

Roscommon 1-21 Leitrim 0-11: IT is hard to believe that Leitrim have never beaten Roscommon at Páirc Sean Mac Diarmada in the championship. But given the gulf between them yesterday, maybe it’s not so hard.

Roscommon 4-25 Cork 3-10: Fergal O’Donnell has been involved in his fair share of one-sided encounters; Roscommon’s 11-point hammering at the hands of Mayo in the 1999 Connacht championship springs to mind, even fresher are the scars of the 3-18 to 0-7 rout by the same opposition 10 years later.

Roscommon 1-9 Monaghan 2-10: Three years ago, these sides clashed in Division 3. Monaghan got to the top flight a year ahead of Roscommon so the words of Malachy O’Rourke should be heeded by the disappointed Rossies after they let a winning hand slip from their grasp.

Expect in-form Sligo to deliver title

SLIGO should win the Connacht title tomorrow. When these sides met in NFL Division Three a few months ago, Kevin Walsh’s men won in a canter (0-20 to 0-13).
