Roscommon made a winning start to their Very National League Division 3A campaign when they pipped Tyrone by 1-5 to 0-7 in Garvaghy last Saturday.
Roscommon were three points ahead at half-time (0-5 to 0-2) and they grabbed a crucial goal from Celine Gacquin early in the second half which proved a match-winner.
Tyrone replied with five unanswered points but Roscommon had done enough to secure this valuable win. It’s a great first outing for the team under their new manager Mary Grehan and her backroom team.
Roscommon will face Kildare at a Kildare venue this coming Saturday at 2 pm in round two of the league.
