Last year- Roscommon were made to work hard for their third title in five years eventually beating Kilkenny on a 3-2 scoreline. This year sees a couple of additions with David Concannon being the most notable loss as he is now over-age. A good number of supporters will be travelling down to Kilkenny- more are welcome. Best of luck to Luke and the lads.
