The sides will have their third competitive meeting of 2024 this weekend.
IN WHAT WILL be the third competitive meeting of Roscommon and Mayo this year, the scorecard currently reads 2-0 in favour of Mayo.
Roscommon battled admirably against Dessie Farrell’s side but ultimately gassed in the final quarter as Dublin inevitably shifted gears. They need a win this weekend to avoid an arm wrestle with Cavan for third place, and judging by their previous two outings, there are some areas that Roscommon should address to hurt Mayo.In their Connacht semi-final, Davy Burke’s team clocked up 11 wides, five of which occurred in the last 20 minutes when victory was still possible for them.
In both the Connacht semi-final and final, Mayo struggled to win their own kickouts in crucial stages of the game. Roscommon claimed two of Reape’s kickouts at the start of the second half in the Connacht semi-final while a third went out over the sideline due to the pressure Roscommon applied to block off options for a pass.
Those frailties in the Mayo kickout will be an important area for Roscommon to target again when they host them this weekend.Failing to sustain momentum is something which tripped Roscommon up in both of their defeats to Mayo this year. There was just one point between the sides in both the league and Connacht semi-final fixtures at half-time, only for Mayo to surge ahead in the second half while Roscommon broke their stride.
