Enda Smith believes Roscommon can make their mark in the Super 8s after regaining the Connacht SFC title.

The Rossies lost all three of their All-Ireland SFC quarter-final games to Tyrone, Donegal and Dublin last year, but Smith is confident they can give a better account of themselves this year.

"The Super 8s is a brand new competition for us. It’s in four weeks, that’s a lot of time, so we’re going to enjoy the next few days then give it a good crack and hopefully represent ourselves a lot better than we did last year," the Roscommon captain told RTE after yesterday's brilliant comeback win over Galway.

"We said it a few weeks ago, even after the league, that if we were going to the Super 8s I’d feel a lot more confident than last year.

"I just think there’s a different edge about us. We were five points down there against Galway and we came back - in previous years that wouldn’t happen. I really think there’s confidence in the lads, belief in our training, and the system that we’re trying to implement."
