Roscommon manager Davy Burke says he loves the new rules after victory at Dr Hyde Park
overturned a four-point interval deficit to win the battle of Division Two’s chief promotion chasers at a wintry Dr Hyde Park.0-17 to 0-8 in the second half – leaving Roscommon top of the table and the only remaining unbeaten team in Division Two.
“We actually now have a creative game, it has reinvigorated us as coaches because it went stale, you probably didn’t even know you were stale but you were. It’s class now.” Their madcap opening goal would have been unimaginable a few months back. With Carroll out of his goal to try provide Roscommon with an overload, Monaghan grabbed possession and from near the centre of the field the impressive Micheál Bannigan let fly towards the unattended Roscommon sticks.
“I think Roscommon managed the wind better in the second half, they managed to get a few two-pointers in the second half when they had the wind and ultimately that was the difference in the game,” said Monaghan manager Gabriel Bannigan.
