O’Donnell’s joy as Rossies in

CHAMPIONS Roscommon eased to another Connacht final after crushing lacklustre Leitrim in this one- sided affair at Páirc Sean Mac Diarmada in Carrick-on-Shannon yesterday.

O’Donnell’s joy as Rossies in

Roscommon 2-12 Leitrim 0-6 Martin Wynne

It was a far cry from the humiliating 20-point defeat suffered by the Rossies at the same stage of the competition against Mayo in 2009.

That defeat at McHale Park in Castlebar left a lasting mark on Fergal O’Donnell and his players. Now a steelier Roscommon outfit have recorded five straight wins in the Connacht championship (although they have not faced Galway or Mayo in that time).
