Roscommon selector Ger Dowd says his team will be looking to put in a performance against Dublin which will give them a benchmark for Division 1 football next season.

The Rossies are already eliminated from the All-Ireland series and must fulfil tomorrow's remaining Super 8s clash without suspended manager Kevin McStay on the sidelines.

Dublin are whopping 1/66 favourites for the Croke Park meeting and have already secured their berth in the semis by virtue of their victories over Donegal and Tyrone.

"We absolutely have to honour the Dublin fixture properly and we will," Dowd told the Irish Daily Mirror.

"There's no pressure on us. We're playing the top team, maybe the top team of all time.

"They're pretty good, so we'll be up against it. But we'll learn and know the standard for next February."
