Roscommon may extend Galway's Connacht wait

Galway caught Mayo off guard but Roscommon will present a very different challenge, writes Dara Ó Cinnéide.

In contrast to the scenes of jubilation that greeted the dethroning of Mayo in Castlebar last month, the build up to tomorrow’s Connacht final in Galway appears to be a little subdued.

While the streak of defiance shown by their team against Mayo was something that Galway football folk have waited a long time to see, the sweet sense of relief after that victory appears to have given way to a more circumspect mood.
