The retirement of Roscommon’s Cathal Cregg after an intercounty career that spanned 15 years will be a huge loss to squad according to county manager Anthony Cunningham.

The Western Gaels player, who won Connacht medals with the Rossies in 2010 and 2019, scored 4-48 across 51 championship appearances for his county, with perhaps his most famous goal the one he scored against Mayo in the 2019 Connacht semi-final, when his powerful run and finish proved crucial in a 2-12 to 0-17 win at MacHale Park.
