Roscommon’s camogie team begin their National League campaign in Division 3A with an away game against Tyrone at the Tyrone Centre of Excellence this Saturday (2 pm).
Mary Grehan is the new Roscommon manager and her selectors are Mairead O’Beirne and Liam Murray. Mary told People Sport this week that the Roscommon squad is a very young one.
“We have 27 girls on the panel. Most of them are in college. In fact only six are based at home in Roscommon. We are missing a few players, but the young players we have all had success at underage level so it’s a case of getting them used to playing in the junior ranks.”
Mary says that in her opinion Kildare and Laois will be the strongest teams in Division 3A.
“Kildare and Laois are intermediate level sides and we also have Wicklow, Louth and Tyrone in the division so we are looking forward to the campaign.”
The Roscommon team manager says that the new management have a three-year plan for the team.
“Our aim is to win the All-Ireland title within three years. We have the players and we want to get the best out of them over that period. It’s a very achievable aim” she concluded.
The long road starts on Saturday in Tyrone. We wish them the best of luck.
