Roscommon emerged from Group two as runners-up and showed plenty of grit to do so.
While suffering a heavy defeat to a very strong Clare unit. Roscommon chiselled out a two-point win over Tyrone in the opening tie was the vital result.
Then crossed swords with Limerick in the Glen Dimplex All-Ireland quarter-final at Clane a fortnight ago. While many thought the Shannonsiders might come out on top, that was to reckon without the famed Rossie doggedness and the consistent brilliance of Shauna Fallon. Fallon scored 12 points in a 0-13 to 1-7 success.
Meanwhile, Tipperary had too many big guns for Wicklow and Cavan in the round-robin stages. Tipp advanced directly to this stage of proceedings.
Having operated in Division 2B of the Very League, the top tier for second-string teams, and held their own, defeating intermediate units, Wexford and Galway to finish mid-table.
Former senior players Jean Kelly, Claire Stakelum and Jenny Grace are some of Tipp’s standout operators and they will be hellbent on booking a berth at Croke Park on August 6.

One item that will note take place is the player protest at ladies football and camogie games recently. That comes after positives meetings between the GPA and the relevant governing bodies.
