Present on the launch night, last Wednesday at the Hyde Centre, were a representation of the 24, able-bodied male and female adult contenders, each of whom have offered their time to participate and fundraise for the club, and enter a training regime, culminating in the achievement of boxing skills,' says club chairperson Philip Mullen. Under the careful coaching of Cathal O’Grady and his helpers from White Collar Boxing Company in Dublin, the boxers will be put through their paces for the next eight weeks and are hoping to do themselves justice on the big night. A number of weeks into training, each contender will then be matched with a partner to prepare to enter the ring for a fun filled fight night on May 20th. The event, which has been kindly sponsored by local business, Sean Doyle Windows, Roscommon, will host 12 matches on the night. ‘This is biggest fundraiser we've undertaken in since 2020 and we are hoping for support from the whole community’ adds Philip ‘we appreciate the support received from a number of businesses who have come on board already in support of the event’.

Roscommon Gaels Senior Footballer James McDermott has announced his retirement. James who made his Senior Footballing debut playing midfield with the club in 2005. James was an inspirational player who gave 100% in a Gaels Jersey and his presence has guided many of our underage players through to Senior Football. He represented the club with the County Roscommon Senior Footballers, debuting in 2016 against New York. He was inspirational with Nemo Rangers winning a Munster club championship when his GP duties brought him to Cork. As always his loyalty brought him back to his home club where last year he led charge to the county semi final. The Club wishes James and his family the very best for the future. Enjoy the downtime. We look forward to hopefully seeing him bring his experience into coaching the next Gaels prodigy in the future.
