ROSCOMMON SUPPORTERS ENDURED five minutes of mental anguish before their promotion back to Division 1 of the Allianz Football League was confirmed.
For Roscommon, a tense finish should never have been needed as they ran riot in the opening half, at one point leading by 2-10 to 1-1. Luke Loughlin got an early goal for the home side but a superb Ciaráin Murtagh finish at the other end cancelled that score out. With Keith Doyle and Eddie Nolan lording matters at midfield, fielding Westmeath kickouts imperiously, the score quickly built up.
At Kingspan Breffni, Cavan’s Dara McVeety had the chance to do the same but he rushed his shot when the hooter sounded, meaning that Cork ran out two-point winners. Elsewhere, Down travelled to St. Tiernach’s Park in Clones and held on to win by a point but it was ultimately in vain as the two sides that got promoted from Division Three in 2024 will return to the third tier for next spring.
