Home comforts in short supply for Roscommon when Galway come calling

1990 was the last occasion when Roscommon edged the Tribesmen in a knockout championship tie

Galway players celebrate their 2018 Connacht SFC final win over Roscommon at Dr Hyde Park. 

“It has been 31 years, hasn’t it? Wow,” said Paul Earley as he reflected on Roscommon’s failure to overcome neighbours Galway in a championship fixture at Dr Hyde Park since 1990.

That was also the occasion when last Roscommon edged the Tribesmen in a knockout championship tie.
