ROSCOMMON WILL TAKE on Galway in a repeat of last year’s Connacht FBD League final after both counties achieved victories today.
The Rossies lost Ian Kilbride to a red card but they defeated a developmental Mayo side by 0-14 to 0-11 in Dr Hyde Park – their first win at the venue over Mayo since 2001.
Two goals from Dessie Conneely and one from Robert Finnerty helped Galway to a 3-6 to 0-8 win over Leitrim.
