Dolan described his relationship with Roscommon/Westmeath as follows: "I was born into the county of Roscommon, so I always classed myself as a Roscommon person. Even though, I went to school in Athlone, I played soccer in Athlone all through my younger years with Dessie, Gary. I socialised in Athlone most of the time. Westmeath would be very close to me at heart. I would have spent more time in Westmeath than I did in Roscommon."[5]
