\n Rossies keep it to script in the Bronx to advance to Connacht SFC semi-final showdown with Mayo
\n April 12, 2026<\/p>\n


Roscommon’s Darragh Heneghan scores a goal past Joey Grace of New York \u00a9INPHO\/Ed Mulholland<\/p>\n

Roscommon will play Mayo in the semi-finals of the Connacht senior football championship in two weeks\u2019 time after dealing New York a comprehensive 5-22 to 1-10 defeat at Gaelic Park.<\/p>\n

Mark Dowd\u2019s men rattled the net inside the opening minute of this provincial quarter-final through talisman Enda Smith, with New York responding well from the early concession by netting one of their own via Cavan native Jack McKenna in the fourth minute.<\/p>\n

Robert Heneghan would fire in the game\u2019s third goal two minutes later and, from there, the visitors never looked back as \u2018keeper Conor Carroll sent over back-to-back \u201845s\u2019 for them and Dylan Ruane would find the Exiles\u2019 net after that.<\/p>\n

Daire Cregg and Conor Ryan added points to the Rossies\u2019 tally ahead of Conor Keenan pulling one back for the hosts, and the victors finished out the half strong with Heneghan grabbing his second goal and Eoin McCormack adding another.<\/p>\n

The only blemish for Dowd\u2019s men came five minutes before the break when Daire Cregg was dismissed on a straight red card by referee Brendan Cawley which is set to see the full-forward suspended for the showdown with Mayo in a fortnight\u2019s time.<\/p>\n

Roscommon sent over the first four points of the second-half to stretch their advantage to 5-15 to 1-4, with Frank O\u2019Reilly hitting New York\u2019s next three scores.<\/p>\n

Former London forward Killian Butler and Meath man O\u2019Reilly would raise the home side\u2019s tally to 1-10 before Enda Smith rounded off the 24-point victory for the visitors.<\/p>\n
