ROSCOMMON WILL TAKE on Galway in a repeat of last year’s Connacht FBD League final after both counties achieved victories today.

The Rossies lost Ian Kilbride to a red card but they defeated a developmental Mayo side by 0-14 to 0-11 in Dr Hyde Park – their first win at the venue over Mayo since 2001.

Two goals from Dessie Conneely and one from Robert Finnerty helped Galway to a 3-6 to 0-8 win over Leitrim.

In Ulster, Tyrone saw off 14-man Fermanagh in a low-scoring affair by 0-8 to 0-4.

Mickey Harte’s men are 70 minutes away from winning their seventh McKenna Cup title in succession after the four-point win over Rory Gallagher’s side.

Kane Connor was sent-off just before half-time and Fermanagh only scored a point in the second-half. Connor McAliskey continued his comeback from a torn cruciate with two points, while Darren McCurry, Richard Donnelly and Ronan O’Neill were also among the Red Hand scorers.
