The above is the match report from the Roscommon herald, quite short compared to the full page spread done on teh other county semi final where St. Aidans beat boyle. 

The lads may not have played up th their potential in this clash, but you can only win a match and thats what counts. Morgen Bierne and Mark Fallon were best for Strokestown, with Shane scoring two very important goals.

We take on St. Aidans in th final on Sunday, we know this will be a tough match with Aidans being a tough team and well up for the challenge. However if we play to our ability no-one will stop us.

Watch this space!!
