Roscommon senior football manager, Mark Dowd, has confirmed that Boyle forward Cian McKeon will miss the remainder of the Division One League campaign through injury.<\/p>\n
McKeon picked up an ankle injury in the dying embers of the recent FBD League defeat against Mayo.<\/p>\n
Originally, it was felt that he would return at some point during the league but in the aftermath of Sunday\u2019s six-point victory against Monaghan, Dowd broke the news that McKeon won\u2019t see any action in the top division this term.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnfortunately, Cian is going to be out for a long period of time with the injury he has. He won\u2019t see league time,\u201d said Dowd.<\/p>\n
On a more positive note, the Roscommon boss was delighted with a controlled second-half performance that turned a two-point half-time deficit into a comfortable 3-16 to 1-16 triumph.<\/p>\n
\u201cA win like that gives us confidence. You can see when we put in the work, we can get the results. We\u2019ll be targeting the Armagh game no different. It\u2019s going to be a huge challenge. Lads know that, so it\u2019s up to us to be ready for it,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Roscommon senior football manager, Mark Dowd, has confirmed that Boyle forward Cian McKeon will miss the remainder of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":276430,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,112],"class_list":{"0":"post-276429","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-ie","9":"tag-ireland","10":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276429","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=276429"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276429\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/276430"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=276429"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=276429"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=276429"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
