DJ Represents Roscommon
Roscommon had a hurler playing in Croke Park on All Ireland hurling final day as DJ Hession, from Ros Gaels, represented his primary school Gaelscoil de hIde and Co Roscommon and played in the INTO and Cumann na mBunscoil exhibition match. 
He was picked to play at the premier event in the hurling calendar through the primary schools competition. On the day he was on the Tipperary team and it was a great day to be wearing the jersey of the victorious Senior and Minor hurling teams and it is also the blue and gold of the Rossies so he got double value for his colours. It was a great honour for DJ to play on the hallowed turf of Croke Park on the biggest day of the hurling year. He was accompanied on the day by his proud parents, Teresa & Andy. Thanks to all involved in his primary school – Gaelscoil de hÍde, INTO and Cumann na mBunscoil Roscommon who gave DJ this wonderful opportunity. It was a memorable day for all concerned.
