Southern Gaels 4-20
Roscommon Gaels 3-8
Southern Gaels accounted for Roscommon Gaels in a challenge played last Friday in ideal conditions, Cian Geary dominating proceedings in what was a fine team performance.
Luke Sylvester aquitted himself well on his debut at adult level and Seamus Hoctor worked well throughout. Minus a number of regulars many of the junior side stepped up and performed well. Ryan Fallon, Cian Ó Sulleabháin, Conn O'Hara and Alex Devaney continue to impress.
