Westmeath hurling manager Michael Ryan

Westmeath manager Michael Ryan admits that they are still a work in progress.

The former Waterford manager is in his first year in charge of the Lake County and he has been impressed by what he has seen so far.

The Leinster side easily saw off the challenge of London in the opening round of the NHL Division 2A campaign at Cusack Park last Sunday.

There will be tougher games ahead and Ryan told the Westmeath Examiner that there are a number of areas that they must work on in the coming weeks.

"We're not the biggest of teams for catching the ball in the air. I think London were actually better than us in the air," admitted Ryan.

"But it's something we're working on. We feel that the 30/40 yard pass has a lot of merit in it and it suits the way we play. We're formulating a game plan, and as we get to know the players better, we'll improve things and tweak a few things. There are a lot of areas in the pitch where we can improve. And we will improve."
