Rossies boss stays upbeat

Roscommon claimed back-to-back Connacht minor titles for the first time ever at Dr Hyde Park yesterday.

It was a significant achievement for Roscommon, who had never previously won provincial minor and U21 silverware in the same year. All kinds of records were broken and the promise of brighter days to come ensured the locals were content.

Manager Gareth Carroll, though, insists the youngsters aren’t being burdened with too much pressure or expectation.
