New Roscommon senior hurling manager, Shane Sweeney, has laid down an early marker by assembling a high-profile management team.

Former Galway senior hurlers Fergal Healy and James Skehill, from Craughwell and Cappataggle respectively, will be part of the set-up. Both men have been involved in a myriad of Galway teams at intercounty and club levels. 

Former Roscommon hurlers Mervyn Connaughton (Athleague) and Adrian Murphy (Ballinasloe) have also been confirmed as part of the management team.

Strength and conditioning will be overseen by Eanna Shalvey.

Sweeney's tenure for a three-year term was confirmed by Roscommon GAA earlier this week.
