Any thoughts on our Junior and senior reps in Connacht Junior Quarter action tomorrow afternoon?
St Aidans will do will to lift the heads after the manner of the defeat for a lot of their players with Four Roads. Ardagh are scoring freely with James Carr and young Carey standing out. They are conceding a goal a game and Aidans will need goals and to defend as well as they did v Ballinameen to cause an upset.
Brigids in Hyde Park tomorrow will need to guard against complacency. Last Roscommon senior champions v Sligo champions was a defeat due mainly to poor shooting efficiency on the day. St Mary's have plenty of good players in the ranks such as Robert O'Kelly-Lynch Nathan Rooney Eli Rooney Kyle Cawley and even have fomer Leitrim player Emlyn Mulligan to bring on.

Aidans will probably struggle while as you say complacency a danger for Brids.
You'd hope they're too experienced to fall into that trap.

Seniors will win would like to see Aidan's and Eire og go well but I don't think either are our strongest representatives in the last few years.

Roscommon clubs never seem to do well at junior for some reason, I can't remember when the last time we got out of Connacht. While Mayo clubs seem to regularly win the province. Going on that record, plus as you say Aidans dual players fresh off a hiding in the hurling, I would fancy the Mayo team even though I know nothing about them aside from James Carr plays with them.
On the senior, lets be honest, if Brigids don't win it'll be a major shock. And that Pearses defeat to Coolera will be fresh in their heads. I know Tullamore gave Cuala a bit of a scare but I think Brigids are too seasoned to fall here....I'd be thinking an 8 point win. But if they do fall.... good news for Mark Dowd and Co.
