Dowd confirms return of St. Brigid’s players to training
WATCHING BRIEF: Roscommon senior football manager, Mark Dowd, taking stock of his side's performance against Armagh at King and Moffatt Dr. Hyde Park.
Mark Dowd has confirmed that players from beaten All-Ireland club finalists, St. Brigid’s, have returned to training in the last seven days.
Speaking in the aftermath of his side’s thrilling three-point victory against Armagh and King and Moffatt Dr. Hyde Park, the Roscommon manager said that he was happy to welcome them back on board and that they will be integrated into the team over the coming weeks.
“The remaining (Brigid’s) guys came in there on Wednesday night. You've got to remember, they're after having a lay-off there of three or four weeks. You can't just jump these guys straight in.
“We want to make sure we're not picking up injuries for the rest of the year. They're cautious, they're coming back in, they're doing their protocol and they'll be back in putting their hands up for contention for the next few weeks.”
Brian Stack and Eddie Nolan remain sidelined through injury, while goalkeeper Conor Carroll was part of the match-day squad for the games against Monaghan and Armagh.
