Roscommon team for Cork clash
Roscommon have named their side to play Cork in the All-Ireland SFC quarter-finals at Croke Park on Sunday.
Roscommon played Cork in the 2003 qualifiers winning by 0-14 to 1-10 in Hyde Park.
Selector Declan Hoare has urged the players to build on their Connacht title success and not lose the follow-up as they did in 2001 when losing heavily to Galway in the quarter-finals.
'It is something we have discussed,' Hoare said in The Examiner.
'It was the same in 2001 when we beat Galway and Mayo to win in Connacht and then we went to Castlebar for a quarter-final and the life was sucked out of us against Galway.
'Fergal (O'Donnell) has already mentioned it to the lads. That was his last game for Roscommon and he told them how disappointing it was for him to end his career with the county that way.'
Roscommon v Cork in the All-Ireland SFC quarter-final at Croke Park on Sunday, 2pm:
Geoffrey Claffey, Sean McDermott, Peter Domican (cpt), Stephen Ormsby, Sean Purcell, Cathal Dineen, David Casey, Michael Finneran, Karol Mannion, David Keenan, David O'Gara, Cathal Cregg, John Rogers, Donal Shine, Ger Heneghan.
