These are good times to be a Roscommon<\/a> GAA fan. The senior team beat Galway last Sunday in a thrilling Connacht SFC final to mean that the Rossies now hold the minor, under-20 and senior Connacht titles. Next up for the under-20s side is Kerry<\/a> in the All-Ireland semi-final at Semple Stadium in Thurles.<\/p>\n Roscommon\u2019s win over Mayo in the Connacht under-20 final may have even been more entertaining than the senior team\u2019s exploits, as they scored five goals in a 5-16 to 2-22 victory in Tuam.<\/p>\n Senior captain Diarmuid Murtagh said they had watched their under-20 counterparts, together as a team after training.<\/p>\n \u201cWe actually watched under-20s final together as a group, as some of the lads have siblings playing and obviously Cian Smith is the manager and that\u2019s Enda\u2019s brother, so it was a lovely thing to do to watch them together, just shows that kind of closeness within Roscommon that we\u2019re all supporting each other.\u201d<\/p>\n Kerry\u2019s manager Tom\u00e1s \u00d3 Se has won plenty of silverware in his day and he is quietly confident about his chances of making the final after an impressive Munster final win over Cork, where captain Paddy Lane scored 2-4.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve won a Munster, we can park that now. The nature of this competition is a quick turnaround,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Roscommon v Kerry preview Throw-in: 7.30pm at Semple Stadium in Thurles Where to watch: TG4 App and Player…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":446956,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[6937,61,60,43,90225],"class_list":["post-446955","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ireland","tag-kerry-gaa","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-news","tag-roscommon-gaa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/446955","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=446955"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/446955\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/446956"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=446955"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=446955"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=446955"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
