Roscommon promoted as they set up rematch with Galway

Roscommon have been promoted to Division 1 of the Allianz League and these two sides will meet again next Sunday in Croke Park in the Division 2 final after Anthony Cunningham's men ran out deserving winners in an entertaining contest with Galway at Hyde Park.

Understrength Galway were already promoted but were keen to preserve the only 100% record left of any team in the country.

However they were always chasing the game against the rampant Rossies.

Roscommon used the breeze well in the opening half and picked off some quality scores to lead by 1-14 to 0-06 at the interval.

Roscommon scored 1-06 without reply when they had an extra man for ten minutes when Galway wing-back Cathal Sweeney picked up a black card.
