Roscommon U20 manager Liam Tully has admitted the ongoing threat of the pandemic is “frightening” and has praised his young players for largely avoiding the virus.

Tully has guided the Rossies to Sunday’s EirGrid All-Ireland decider though as if to underline the continued threat posed by the Covid-19 virus, the Kerry-Tyrone senior game, originally scheduled for Croke Park too, has been postponed due to an outbreak in the Red Hands camp.
