Padraig Pearses manager Pat Flanagan feels that he has a dressingroom full of winners.

Of course, the Roscommon champions' Connacht club SFC final opponents have won a lot more, but Flanagan believes that his charges will not be overawed by the task facing them.

Corofin have already cemented their place as one of the greatest club teams the country has ever seen and they are raging hot favourites to defend their provincial title this weekend.

Pearses won the Roscommon SFC for the first time ever earlier this year and Flanagan told the Roscommon Herald that they are going into the game in a confident mood.

“We’ve a lot of guys in there that are winners,” said Flanagan. “Five players have won a Connacht championship this year and they want more. That’s infectious too.

“I said the first night we came back training that what we’ve achieved is history. Do we want to live in what was, or do we live in what can be?

“I think there is an awful lot more in this team and I think there is an awful lot more for this team. That was the approach we took and I think it’s paid off.”
