It took a late goal from Adam Donnelly to clinch victory for Roscommon, who now face Sligo in Saturday evening’s league final (5pm).
Leitrim will take on Mayo in the Shield decider on the same day.
Team manager Olcan Conway spoke to reporter Kevin Egan after Wednesday evening’s game:
Elsewhere, there was disappointment for Donegal hurlers in Belfast in the final of the Conor McGurk Cup as an injury-time free gave Down a narrowly one-point win, on a final scoreline of 1-22 to 2-18.
