Roscommon v Cavan - Glen Dimplex Premier Junior Camogie Championship
At TBC · Co. Roscommon
At TBC · Co. Roscommon
Roscommon host Cavan in a Round 5 showdown in the 2026 Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Premier Junior Camogie Championship, and by the time July comes around both teams will know exactly what is at stake. Roscommon have already secured their semi-final place with two rounds to spare, racking up wins by some emphatic margins - including a 7-21 to 1-6 dismantling of Wicklow in Round 3. Cavan arrive as Division 3 league champions, themselves in strong form after a 3-13 to 1-10 win over Armagh. The top four from the six-team group advance, and with the final group positions still to settle, neither side will be going through the motions. This is a free fixture in a proper county GAA setting - the kind of afternoon that rewards anyone who makes the trip.
Premier Junior is the tier just below Intermediate in the All-Ireland Camogie Championship, and the standard is genuine county-level hurling with pace, physicality and no shortage of goals. Roscommon have been clinical in attack - captain Rachel Fitzmaurice hit a hat-trick against Wicklow, while Orla Connolly contributed 1-8 in the same match. Cavan opened the campaign with a goal inside 30 seconds against Armagh and have Shanise Fitzsimons and Aoibhe Conaty as players capable of turning a game quickly.
The match is the final round-robin fixture for both sides. Roscommon are already through; Cavan will be looking to cement or improve their position ahead of the semi-finals on 18 July. Venue has yet to be confirmed by the Camogie Association - check camogie.ie in the days before the match for the specific ground.
The venue will be somewhere in Co. Roscommon, most likely a GAA club ground. Roscommon town is the county capital and the most natural base: it sits on the N61, roughly equidistant between Athlone (30 km south-east) and Boyle (30 km north). From Dublin, take the M6 to Athlone and pick up the N61 north - allow just under two hours. From Galway, the N63 brings you in from the west in about an hour.
Bus Éireann serves Roscommon town on the Expressway routes from Dublin Busáras and from Galway. From the town, local club grounds are typically a short drive. Club GAA venues in Roscommon generally have open-air grass car parks with no charge.
A summer Saturday in the county is a good excuse to stay on afterwards. Roscommon town has Roscommon Castle - a roofless but impressive Anglo-Norman ruin - and the county museum is close by for a quick look at local history. There is more to see in Roscommon and across Co. Roscommon.
