With word that Cian McKeown Ciaran Murtagh and Conor Daly all rejoining the squad and hopefully a fit well rested Ben O'Carroll back that's massive for us. We should be getting promoted but division 2 next year is going to be very tricky. Do we have 4 home games or 3 home games. Id be hopeful for Keith Doyle to push on next year now with new kick out rules. Alot more kick outs will go long and he's one of the best fielders of a ball around.

St Brigids midfielder Eddie Nolan back also? Can see why relegation happened without 5 or 6 first choice players and did well to reach the last 8 of the championship without them.

Good to see lads back.
I'd say Armagh winning the AI has made a lot of players think they have a chance in 25 whereas this time last year 2024 was seen as a 2 horse race with Derry (remember them?) as possible outsiders.

Brilliant news that the Dermot Early Centre of Excellence has received 5.5 million under the Sport Infrastructure fund for 2024. This money is not just handed out and a lot of work has undoubtedly been carried out by Roscommon County Board / Club Rossie in making a professional application. So fair play to all involved.

Other major sporting organisations receiving large grants/ funds include Dalymount Park (24.7 million), Sligo Rovers (16.4 million) , Cavan County Board + (19 million), Cuala Gaa Club, Dublin County Board etc, etc.

Great tovsee.
Hopefully those soccer clubs get the money direct from Dept of Sport and not through the FAI!

Fantastic news. When built it will take a huge burden off the county board and managers of the county teams who struggled to get pitches to train on over the last number of years.
