Roscommon and District League Round up fifth January 2025

Bad weather caused the postponement of all games due to be played last Saturday and Sunday.

Just two games due to be played on Friday night went ahead as planned.

In the Premier Division, Shiven Rovers picked up all three points from their home game against Shiven Rovers at Newbridge.

After an even start, the hosts started to put real pressure on the Ballymoe defence. They were rewarded when a Ray Cunningham converted a Karl Healy cross was with ten minutes remaining in the first-half.

A more determined Ballymoe side started the second-half and were rewarded when a deflected shot entered the Shiven net on 60 minutes.

Karl Healy set Cunningham up for his second shortly afterwards. Cunningham completed his hat-trick with help from Adam Farrell.
