Busy weekend for Roscommon town
Traders in Roscommon town are looking forward to a bumper weekend with the Connacht Final in Hyde Park this Sunday.
Up to 20,000 supporters from Sligo and Mayo will converge on the town for the 4pm throw in.
The senior game will be preceded by the minor match between Sligo and Galway at 2pm.
It’s the first time since 2011 that the Hyde has hosted a Connacht Final.
President of Roscommon town vintners Larry Brennan said that not only Roscommon would benefit but “many other towns on the route” to the town.
