James Horan: Rossies have the Big Mo...why would they give it up?

It's Mayo next up for the Division 1 leaders. And they could meet in a league final and two weeks after that again in the Connacht championship.

Roscommon sit on top of Division 1 of the Allianz League after four games, a great achievement by Davy Burke and team. Considering he was the last managerial appointment on the intercounty scene and with so many new players, he has really tapped into something. 

While beaten by Monaghan in Clones on Sunday, they still showed enough to suggest there is more of a balance than before, and that they will further build as a group with all the new players to hand.
