Roscommon v Meath LIVE updates from the All-Ireland Football Championship
Roscommon welcome Meath to Dr Hyde Park in a huge match for both counties' ambitions of making the knockout stages of this year's All-Ireland Championship. The Rossies travelled to Salthill with high hopes in this year's Connacht semi-finals, but they were soundly beaten by Galway. And it was a similar story in Killarney last time out as they could not match the scoring power of Kerry. It means that Davy Burke's side desperately need a result against the Royals if they are to keep their Championship hopes alive. For Meath, it has been a rollercoaster month. A famous win over Dublin in the Leinster semi-finals was followed by a gut-wrenching loss to Louth in the decider. But the Royals responded in good style last time out when showing good character to see off Cork in Navan. The match is scheduled for a 6pm throw-in, and you can follow all the action right here on Irish Mirror Sport. With Kerry the firm favourites to win the group, it is a hard call between Meath, Cork and Roscommon for the remaining spots. The momentum is on Meath's side after their victory over Cork last time and they seem to be growing in confidence with every game of late. Matthew Costello was outstanding against the Rebels and has turned into a real leader for the Royals, while the return of Jordan Morris was another boost to the cause. Stay with us for all the action from Dr Hyde Park

June Bank Holiday weekend in Roscommon: Top things to do
For those looking for something a bit more exciting this weekend, we've picked out four of the biggest events happening in the county over the long weekend. There is only once place to start: Roscommon v Meath This weekend, the biggest show in town – any town in Roscommon, for that matter – will be in Dr Hyde Park. On Saturday, the Roscommon senior footballers welcome Meath to the Hyde as Davy Burke's men go in search of their first win in the All-Ireland series. They escaped their group last year despite losing to Mayo and Dublin, but a win is essential if Roscommon want to secure second place and dodge the preliminary quarter-finals. Meath come to town seeking to secure two wins from two after an encouraging home win over Cork. Roscommon town will get another twist on Sunday when the Hyde hosts the Tailteann Cup meeting of Sligo and Kildare. Expect far more to flock there on Saturday though. Roscommon's All-Ireland Series Round 2 meeting with Meath throws in at 6pm on Saturday, May 31, in Dr Hyde Park in Roscommon. Mid Summer Wedding Showcase Busy getting ready for your wedding and have to give the football a miss? Well then the place for you is the Abbey Hotel, which hosts its Mid Summer Wedding Showcase on Sunday June 1 from 2pm to 5pm ADVERTISEMENT Learn more Attendees will meet the hotel's wedding team, chat with their award-winning chefs and enquire about their various wedding packages.

Famine Summer School A host of distinguished speakers, including a former Irish lacrosse international, will be among those attending this year's Famine Summer School at the National Famine Museum in Strokestown. Entitled 'Humanitarianism and Hunger', the programme will focus on how global communities - including those in North America, India, the Ottoman Empire, and beyond - reacted to the Great Irish Famine. The event will be addressed by Michael Kennedy, the aforementioned lacrosse player, who global headlines when he and the Irish lacrosse team gave up their place in the 2022 World Games so that the Iroquois Nationals could participate. Other noteworthy speakers include; Professor Christine Kinealy, Director of Ireland's Great Hunger Institute at Quinnipiac University; Professor Mark G McGowan; and Professor LeAnne Howe of the Choctaw Nation. The 2025 Famine Summer School runs from Friday, May 29, to Sunday, June 1. The full programmes and registration details are available on the National Famine Museum's official website. Strokestown Golf Club Classic As well as learning about The Great Famine, you can also squeeze in a bit of golf in Strokestown this weekend.

Monaghan vs Roscommon: Live stream and TV information, throw-in time, betting odds and all you need to know ahead of today's Allianz Football League Division Two Final
Monaghan and Roscommon both ensured that their stint in Division Two was a brief one after both secured promotion to Division One for next season. The bragging rights of who goes up as champions is still up for grabs along with a national title. Monaghan finished top of the table with only two defeats in seven outings, one of which came in Dr Hyde Park with Davy Burke's men claiming a 0-25 to 2-14 win. That gave the Rossies three wins from three, but defeats to Meath and Cavan meant they were far from certain to gain promotion. A draw against a Westmeath team already bound for Division Three could have cost them, but defeats for Cavan and Meath saw them clinch second place.
