Roscommon Senior & Minor Games This Weekend

Dear Supporter

Last weekend turned out to be a good weekend for the Roscommon Senior and Minor teams and with a little bit of luck it could even have been a better one had our minors had a bit of luck on their side.

The weekend ahead is a massive one for everyone who is passionate about the primrose and blue. The weekend begins on Saturday evening at 7pm in Navan when our senior team take on Meath in Round 3 of the qualifiers. After a poor performance against Mayo our Senior team has put in a massive effort in training and were rewarded with a win over Wexford last weekend. If the can play with the same heart on Saturday then anything could be possible.

Our minor team went so close to a deserved victory against a highly fancied Mayo team in the Connaught final against Mayo in Pearse stadium in Salthill last Sunday. This minor team is a strong physical team and with a bit of luck on their side could go along way this summer. This Sunday at 5pm in Hyde Park, Roscommon they will go about finishing off the job of winning a 2nd Connaught title in 4 years for Roscommon.

I make this special appeal to you as you are a member of the supporters club and you are a true Roscommon supporter. I appeal to you to turn out this weekend on both days and support the 2 Roscommon teams. I appeal to you to travel to Navan on Saturday and help the lads out in what will be a difficult game. Navan is a good spin for most Roscommon people but this panel of players and management deserve as much support as possible after the effort they have put in so far this year.

I then appeal to you to make it to Hyde Park on Sunday at 5pm and give the minor team that final push over the line that the need. All you have to do is remember Ennis in 2006 when Roscommon supporters out-numbered Kerry by at least 7 : 1. We can do this again on Sunday
in Hyde Park. I would ask you as members of the Supporters club to encourage all your family, friends, work colleagues, G.A.A. club members and anyone you can find to come along on Sunday evening to Hyde Park and lets make an atmosphere in Hyde Park that has never been
seen before for a minor game. It may just be the difference in winning and losing. I would ask you to get the county flags outside your homes/business premises in the build up to the games at the weekend. I cannot emphasis how much of a help a massive Roscommon crowd on Sunday
evening would be to the minor players and management. Its the least the deserve.

I look forward to seeing you all on Saturday and Sunday.

Yours in Sport,

Brian Carroll
Chairman
Roscommon G.A.A. Supporters Club

TriAthlone and Trifest this weekend

TriAthlone - Saturday 18th July 2009
Waterways Ireland triAthlone will see over 2,500 athletes take to the River Shannon and the streets of Athlone in what is the largest triathlon ever staged in Ireland and one of the top 10 races in Europe.

The Swim
The swim starts on the Connaught side of the River Shannon, beside transition area at the Athlone Boat Club. The spectacular 54m Inland & Coastal Marina Systems Pontoon will again form the focal point of swim entry. For the Sprint-Distance race, athletes will swim 350m down and then back up stream. For the Olympic-Distance age group race athletes will complete the same loop as the sprint except that they will continue past the pontoon, upriver, under the railway bridge and then back down the river to exit at the pontoon. The ITU european cup race, athletes will do the sprint swim course twice. Try a triathlon participants will enter the water 200m upstream from the swim exit. Should the river current be strong an alternate downstream swim will be arranged for everyone.

The Bike Race
The course this year will be held on fully closed roads. The course sets off from Transition on Grace Road, and continues out the rolling Roscommon roads to the picturesque village of Brideswell and then back. Olympic distance athletes will complete 2 laps of this bike course. Elite athletes will complete a fast tight shorter 8 lapped course taking in the castle and west side of the town.

The Run
The most exciting part of the race is the run route. The narrow town centre streets of Old-Athlone's "Left-Bank"" plays host to the event once again. Athletes will complete 2 laps (sprint) and 4 laps (Olympic) of a 2.5k route that starts in the province of Connaught. Athletes run past Athlone's historical Castle, down and back up Grace Road along the banks of the River Shannon, before crossing into Leinster and onto Church Street where the Finish, Recuperation and Baggage-Drop area is at the Civic Centre Plaza in the shadow of the stunning new Athlone Town Centre. This route will create a fantastic atmosphere as spectators will see athletes a total of 3 times every lap.

Clann na nGael Notes

Junior A Championship
Clann na nGael 1-8 Roscommon Gaels 1-5
The Clann na nGael Kathleen Brennan Home Bakery junior A team got their championship campaign on the road with a hard fought win over Roscommon Gaels, in a well appointed Knockcroghery on Sunday last.
Clann were first to strike with a Colin Nicholson point, but it wasn’t long before the Gaels opened their account with a point. A Ronan Gavin point put Clanns noses in front with another point , this was a wake up call for the Gaels and they hit 1-2 in a 10 minute period to go 4 points to the good with half time approaching. Alan Dunne brought Clann to within a goal of Roscommon Gaels with a point before the break.
It took Clann a while to settle after the break, but 3 points from Alan Dunne and a Graham Petit point put Clann ahead mid way through the second half. A Gaels point leveled matters again, but Clann were in no mood the Share the spoils and Graham Petit put them in the lead before Emmet Rock fisted the ball to the back of the nGael net to leave Clann 4 up with time nearly up. Gaels hit back with a point, but Clann held on for a deserved win.
This was a good performance from the lads and they know a win over Strokestown on Friday evening will put them through to the knock stages.
Team and scorers: Cathal Hannon, Niall Kennedy, Eugene Petit, Cathal Duignan, Kevin Naughton, Daniel Harney, Graham Petit 0-2, Colin Nicholson 0-1, Andy Carbery, David Lennon, Alan Dunne 0-4, Ronan Killian, David Henry, Emmet Rock 1-0, Ronan Gavin 0-1.
Subs: J.P. Dunning, Niall Lennon.

County Teams
The Club would like to wish the Roscommon Senior and Minor teams the best of luck in their championship games at the weekend.

Clann na nGael Summer Camps and Skills Clinics
Approx 170 children between 5 and 15 attended the above camps over the last two weeks in order to improve their football skills and have some fun. In general the weather was good as the rain held off most days. On friday last Dennis Glennon was the Special Guest and he answered a vast array of questions but to him by the young footballers. Many thanks to all coaches who helped out during the two weeks or gave a few hours of their time, including Niall McManus, Niamh Fallon, Kelly Killian, James Kelly, Ronan O'Reilly, David Flynn, Donie Shine, Enda Kenny, Jonathon Dunning, Darragh Lennon and Aine Seery.

Roscommon Ladies Intermediate Championship
Clann na nGael 3-14 Four Roads 3-6
Clann Ladies produced a brilliant first half performance to defeat last year's Connacht Junior finalist in Johnstown last weekend. A heavy shower just before the game left underfoot conditions heavy, but Clann were quick out of the blocks with two points from Aisling Egan before a Niamh O'Brien goal gave Clann the start required. But Four Roads hit back with goal to leave the scores 1-2 to 1-1. Frees from Blana Gately and Gina Dowling stretched Clann's lead before Gina superbly lobbed the Four Roads goalkeeper for a goal after winning a kickout. Further points from Niamh O'Brien and Gina Dowling left Clann leading by 11 points before Four Roads were given a lifeline with a second goal before the break and could have got more only for some smart saves from Eileen Goode in goal. The second half saw Four Roads take the match to Clann and but for great defending from Rosa Shine, Kelly Killian, Cathy Watson and the defence as a whole they couldn't get the goal required until late in the match. But by then Gina Dowling had scored her second goal along with points from Niamh O'Brien and Michelle Harney-Nolan to secure victory. There were good performances all over the field with the likes of Niamh Fallon, Maeve Harney and Mary Duffy-Shine covering miles to secure possession for the forwards. Clann have two more matches in the Group against Oran (next weekend) and Eire Og and require one more win to secure a semi-final berth.
Team: Eileen Goode, Amy Shine, Rosa Shine, Mary Shine, Aisling Curley, Cathy Watson, Kelly Killian, Joanne Naughton, Maeve Harney, Michelle-Harney Nolan 0-1, Niamh Fallon, Blana Gately 0-2, Gina Dowling 2-4, Aisling Egan 0-2, Niamh O'Brien 1-5.
Subs: Kathy Doran-Rourke, Clodagh Rock, Deirdre O'Neill, Caroline O'Neill, Aine Seery, Amy O'Reilly, Aoife McManus, Katie Ward, Michelle Dunning, Edel Moore.
