The draw for the 2026 Roscommon Senior Football Championship has thrown up the Group of Death to beat them all.<\/p>\n
Last year\u2019s beaten finalists, P\u00e1draig Pearses, will be joined by Boyle, Roscommon Gaels and Clann na nGael in Group B \u2014 all four teams that would be considered as one of the main threats to St. Brigid\u2019s crown.<\/p>\n
Once again, reigning Roscommon and Connacht champions, St. Brigid\u2019s, have Michael Glaveys and Western Gaels for company, and they will be joined in Group A by last year\u2019s intermediate winners Strokestown.<\/p>\n
Group C looks wide open, with St. Faithleach\u2019s, Oran, Castlerea St. Kevin\u2019s and Elphin all likely to fancy their chances to emerge from that quartet.<\/p>\n
North Roscommon, as the only divisional team, will join the championship at the preliminary quarter-final stage of the championship.<\/p>\n

In the intermediate football championship, last year\u2019s beaten finalists, \u00c9ire \u00d3g, have familiar foes Fuerty and Kilmore for company, alongside last year\u2019s Junior A champions St. Croan\u2019s.<\/p>\n
The clash of St. Dominic\u2019s \u2014 relegated from the senior championship last year \u2014 and Tulsk Lord Edwards will be a heavyweight contest in Group A, while St. Barry\u2019s and St. Brigid\u2019s B will also hope to sneak into the knockout stages.<\/p>\n
St. Michael\u2019s, who were beaten in the last four in 2025, will be relatively happy to have North Roscommon neighbours Shannon Gaels, P\u00e1draig Pearses B and Creggs in their group.<\/p>\n
