Roscommon go in search of grade \u201cA\u201d minor glory, however face a strong Cork side.<\/p>\n
Cork are aiming for back-to-back crowns and a 14th title in all. Opponents Roscommon will contest a second All-Ireland U-18 \u2018A\u2019 final, and a first since 1991.<\/p>\n
Cork came through a cracking semi-final against Dublin to reach another final, as Roscommon defeated Down.<\/p>\n
These are heady days for Roscommon, whose U-16s were crowned AirNav Ireland All-Ireland \u2018B\u2019 champions recently, while the county is also gearing up for a TG4 All-Ireland Intermediate Final appearance at Croke Park on Sunday August 2.<\/p>\n
Roscommon were All-Ireland U-18 \u2018B\u2019 champions in 2009 but they\u2019ve never won the \u2018A\u2019 title, with their sole previous final appearance in this grade ending in defeat to Waterford.<\/p>\n
