Is Gary Dolan not taking Garrycastle job ? Any word on Pat Flanagan or Tom Coffey ? Benny O'Brien gone to Rosemount i see. He won a bit with Bridgets in Roscommon, was he involved with McStay and McHale when they won A.I. ? The Roses are a young and coming team I think.

Find it very strange how John Keane would go to Garrycastle after he was involved with Rosemount for the past few years & both Garrycastle and Rosemount will be competing directly against each other in championship and league.

Strange is right, would of thought John Keane would of stepped in this year to the Rosemount Job, but not to be. Will be an interesting game!

Totally agree what is wrong with it,there is a difference between coaching and playing.Coaches have to do what best suits them ,rosemount are not capable of getting out of their group,garrycastle could potentially get to a county final keane will have more to work with,why fault a man for being ambitious.

Who said anything about faulting him, it was a bad move on Rosemount's Part to let him go , not Keane's. He's right, look after number 1. Garrycastle no where near good enough to get to a county final..... they should qualify out of there group though.

Ned Moore confirmed at Shamrocks tonight, no surprise. Enda Monaghan returning as skills coach having been involved with The Downs for a couple of years at U16 / minor.
