Nutrition Night ?????
Chef Atila Tavares will host a nutrition night for club members on Friday April 14th. It will take place in the clubhouse at 6.30pm. Registration for this event will be done by team WhatsApp groups as space is limited.
The intention of the evening is to provide our players with practical information and a demonstration of the most nutritious foods they can consume to maximise their physical health off the pitch and performance on it. Thanks to Atila for his time with this club event.
Online Club Shop ???
We are delighted to announce that our new clothing partner will be KC Sports. We have a wide range of club clothing on offer. Check out our online store and support the Town in style this season!

Match Day Hospitality ☕️??
This season, home and away supporters will be able to have a cuppa and some snacks as they watch a game at Roscommon Community Sports Park.
We encourage you to support this initiative in whatever way you can.
The shop has a social and a financial function and all monies acquired will be used to support the activities of the club.
Thank you ?
Thanks to our parents and others around the county who highlighted the recent fixtures clash in the local media and on social media. Thankfully, the original decision has been reversed and this will allow coaches, parents and players to participate in both sports on different nights this season.
