Roscommon minor football manager, Shane Moran, insists that his players’ legacy won’t be defined by this (Friday) evening’s Connacht minor final result against Mayo at Hastings Insurance MacHale Park, Castlebar (throw-in at 6.30 p.m.). Mayo’s nine-point victory against Galway in their semi-final has given the home side huge momentum as they bid for four-in-a-row, while Roscommon will be looking to win the Tom Kilcoyne Cup for the first time since 2020.
