Nigel Dineen is convinced his Roscommon players are good enough to upset Dublin in tomorrow's Cadbury All-Ireland U21FC final at Tullamore.
Odds of 4/1 are available on the Rossies to beat the Dubs, who have looked unstoppable all year.

"You can look at that as a positive or a negative. The positive is we are going in as underdogs but our lads are focused and they'll be ready," the Roscommon manager is quoted as saying in the Irish Examiner.

"It's going to take a huge performance to win it but I have no doubt in my players and if they put in the work that have over the year, then they can win it. There is no point going up and getting beaten and maybe putting in a good display, but not winning."

Dineen is hoping Dublin's red-hot favouritism will work to Roscommon's advantage.

"I suppose there is a lot of hype built around Dublin, if you look at even the senior team, and that has gone against them over the last couple of years," he continued.

"They have competed well in Leinster but when it came to the big stage that's the psychology again we are looking at. In fairness to them they were tipped as favourites for the U21 All-Ireland from the start and they are in the final so they are doing something right. There is always hype around teams. It's how you deal with it."
