With the winners of Premier Division, Division 1 and Division 2 of the Roscommon and District League already decided the main focus over the next few weeks will be on the relegation/promotion battles and the completion of the outstanding Cup competitions.
Last Sunday the bottom four teams in the Premier Division were battling to avoid relegation.

Moore were awarded a penalty with 28 minutes played, which Charles Nevin converted.
Champions Ballaghaderreen beat C.P Ajax 6–0 at Ballaghaderreen. C.P Ajax are safely in mid-table the result had no real significance.

Runner-up Boyle Celtic finished 0–0 against third placed St Johns Athletic.
Dunmore Town land Division One Cup
Congratulations are extended to Dunmore Town who won the division one cup following a 1–0 win over Skyvalley Rovers after extra-time.
It was a game where the defences were on top throughout and there were few real scoring opportunities created.
The first real chance came to the winners when Declan Forde shot wide when well placed.
With 15 minutes played in the second-half Skyvalley created their best chance of the game. Shane Downey created an opening for Cormack Moore and his perfect cross reached Danny Lynch but his header was just over.
Raman Saman did open up the Skyvalley Rovers defence before the end of normal time. The reliable Keelan Galvin was quickest to react and make a vital clearance.
With the teams tiring in extra-time it looked like a penalty shoot-out was on the cards.
With five minutes remaining in extra-time Padraig Martin got free on the left wing, his perfect cross was turned into the Skyvalley Rovers net by Raman Saman.
Afterwards the League Secretary presented the Cup to the Dunmore Captain Dylan Fallon.
In the outstanding game in Division 2, Roscommon United beat Ballaghaderreen second side 9–2 at Ballaghaderreen.
