Replying To GerBo: "Any word/update on some of the older players if they are still part of the panel? I know Dowd confirmed Davy Murray is taking an extended break and will return, but what about the likes of Shane Killoran and John McManus? Have they opted out or were not asked back? Personally myself, I thought Killoran struggled last year (as you might expect after years away from Inter-County and into his 30s), so I would be stunned if he is still involved. However, I thought McManus was one of our better players last year and I would've felt he'd still have something to in 2026" MC Manus opted out Killoran not sure if he opted out or wasn't asked back his teaching in Ros town so he is about the place not travelling as was in the past Michaelbeag (Roscommon) - Posts: 46 - 24/01/2026 08:30:19 2652842 Link

Replying To Ros13: "Starting XV Brady Gavin Keogh McCormack Ward Daly S Lambe Doyle Ryan Ruane Smith D Heneghan Murtagh D Cregg Colleran Subs Kelly T Lambe Higgins O Cregg Hughes Kenny R Heneghan Tumulty Carey Lennon Duggan" 16 to 18 players unavailable for selection this weekend. And I say 16 to 18 because it remains to be seen if two of the 10 Brigids players will commit for the season ahead. Could have done without the injuries on top of all the Brigids,Strokestown players and David Murray out as C Cox, C Heneghan,U Harney,C McKeon would certainly have featured this this weekend. Anyway is what it is and best of luck to the Roscommon players and management tomorrow in Fitzgerald Stadium. The_analyser (Roscommon) - Posts: 4253 - 24/01/2026 13:15:14 2652882 Link

Replying To D.Hyde: "Is Cathal Heneghan injured again?? No sign of Colm Neary either" Neary just back from Club duty obviously not up to County speed. Seanfan (Roscommon) - Posts: 334 - 24/01/2026 15:42:45 2652909 Link

Best of luck to Roscommon tomorrow against Kerry and in particular to our new captain Diarmuid Murtagh and new vice captain Dylan Ruane. Two good choices in my opinion. The last time a Murtagh captained Roscommon (Ciaran) we won the Connacht Championship. Diarmuid was also captain when St Faithleachs won the Connacht intermediate title a few years ago. It will be some achievement for the family if they could make it three Connacht titles against the strong bookies odds. I would not rule it out if the Brigids and Strokestown lads come back rightly motivated. letsgetgoing (Roscommon) - Posts: 837 - 25/01/2026 04:28:52 2653004 Link
