Cheerleaders
Do you want a red sweater or a green one ? Dyed in the wool football supporters in Roscommon this week.
The watchtower at the police station wasn't the only thing dismantled in Crossmaglen last week. The dreams of St. Brigid's, Roscommon of making the final of GAA's club football final were dashed on Sunday when Crossmaglen Rangers beat the Connacht champions by a goal. Hopes were high in the county, flags fluttered from every house and wall, and even the odd sheep togged out in the club colours for the cause.
Note:- this is not Photoshopped! I had passed this field in east Roscommon (near Athlone) a couple of times this week and was curious as to the colour of the 'red' sheep. It was only when I noticed the other one that I realised that the farmer had coloured the two sheep and put them on their own in a small paddock by the road, to represent the colours of St. Brigid's football team.
