Roscommon football panellist tests positive for Covid-19

A member of the Roscommon senior football panel has tested positive for Covid-19.

Members of the panel and management deemed to be close contacts have been referred for testing and begun their period of restricted movement, as per instructions from the HSE in conjunction with the Roscommon medical team.

These panel members and management will only re-join the panel when deemed safe to do so by the HSE.

In a statement issued late yesterday evening, Roscommon GAA said: “The senior football management and panel have at all times strictly adhered to HSE and public health guidelines.”

Roscommon, already promoted to Division 1, will play Cavan in round seven of the Allianz National Football League Division 2 on Saturday (October 24), as planned.

Roscommon will make their debut in the Connaught senior football championship at the semi-final stage on Sunday, November 8, against the winners of the quarterfinal between Leitrim and Mayo on Sunday, November 1.
