The Hyde pitch seemed to be in very poor condition for the ladies game at the weekend. I know we had the very hot weather but I didn't notice any other pitch in the country as patchy or poor looking. TobeaRossie (Roscommon) - Posts: 140 - 13/06/2023 10:44:25 2486113 Link

Shocking bad by who ever is tasked with looking after it sourmilk93 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1149 - 13/06/2023 11:22:51 2486128 Link

It was not the only pitch that looked very poor. The new pitch in Castlebar looked just as bad as did many some around the country. letsgetgoing (Roscommon) - Posts: 537 - 13/06/2023 11:29:04 2486131 Link

That would only be one watering. eoinog (Sligo) - Posts: 1689 - 13/06/2023 13:04:48 2486176 Link

Think we have a clean bill of health apart from Tadhg obviously, Daire Cregg is back in contention. I wonder how we'll approach it, we need to rack up a big score to have any hope of catching the Dubs. Kildare will probably setup to frustrate us. A few goals essential to have any chance. Am I right in saying if Kildare beat us we finish third ? TobeaRossie (Roscommon) - Posts: 140 - 15/06/2023 10:30:01 2486590 Link

If they were to beat us by a low score, we would both finish on three points, but we would have a much better scoring difference. Something like 14 points which seems a little unfair to me. At least the rules were out in advance. letsgetgoing (Roscommon) - Posts: 537 - 15/06/2023 11:12:40 2486609 Link
Replying To dave1988: "Adam McDermott on fire tonight" Great to hear that Adam is playing very well and there is competition to get into the matchday 26. However there is a big difference between playing Clans second team and the Dubs in Croke Park. He might get a chance yet as Davy Burke and the selectors have shown that they are not afraid to play young players. Also putting pressure on the older players to keep performing well. I would say training at the moment is fairly competitive which is want we all want. Looking forward to the match on Sunday. Hopefully we will bring good support as the match is on TV. letsgetgoing (Roscommon) - Posts: 537 - 15/06/2023 11:25:16 2486615 Link

Keith Doyle seems to be only new absentee for Sunday, injured. Thankfully we have Eddie back flying. TobeaRossie (Roscommon) - Posts: 140 - 16/06/2023 09:11:47 2486773 Link

Very disappointing result yesterday. Many players looked heavy legged and we never really got going. Enda Smith was our best player again and kept us in the game. 11 wides against Kildares 5, tells its own story. Kickouts were not as good ad normal and put us under pressure. Kildare had some really good players and number 11 Ben McCormack had a great game. We can have no complaints about the result on the day. Davy Burke talked last week about disliking the mark. After 5 scoring marks against us yesterday, I'd say he dislikes it more today. Great to see such support for the Rossies yesterday when the match was TV. The against Cork next week makes for a very interesting game. Cork came from 6 points against Mayo to score 1-6 without reply to win by three. They have some very strong runners, but I still think we will do the business. A lot of our players were off form yesterday and have the chance to put things right next week. Well done to Kildare. You deserved the win on the day. letsgetgoing (Roscommon) - Posts: 537 - 19/06/2023 09:23:22 2487062 Link
