Replying To Alwaysencourage: "It's not the pitch its the fact that one team has to travel for 2 hours which would get you to Dublin and one team travels for 15 mins." 100% correct. The players don't care to travel 2 hours just to get to a pitch in Tuam. It should be at a neutral venue which is a similar distance from both clubs. It's not that hard to understand

Replying To PowellJohn3: "Controversial one but which team benefits the most in westmeath from not having Parish Rule, i hear a lot of this when a team wins a championship and then there is an awful lot of over and back on it, but an interesting topic all the same. My club i know has roughly 2 lads whos outside the parish but entire family are from the parish so it was never really disputed or talked about much. I know towns are a free for all that makes sense." A Loughnavalley man wo several senior championships for Lomans.

After all the dust has settled after the final, I unfortunately think eunans deserved the win. They were the better team in the first half and only for two crackers from Thompson and few bad wides on their part they were not further ahead. I was very impressed with how calm they were under pressure, a couple of pattons kicks went astray but they never panicked and you have to credit them with that. Thought O. Doherty had a very good game but made a couple of errors in attack, Eunans played well as a whole with their main players being as steady as always. Watched the game back and eunans could not have got a better move for the winning point, their top players stood up and demanded the ball. Shane drove out from the back in to Niall who looked untouchable bouncing 2 tackles before a wonderful pass to Tobin who bombed up the far side before Moore glided through. Just a real classy score and a real kicker for us at the late. Think our matchups cost us too, Roarty couldn't handle mcgeehin, O. Doherty struggled with Moore at times and in midfield Thompson didn't have support against their big men. Hopefully they will kick on in Ulster now and do the county proud.

Replying To Spinx: "Is it true Clonguish and the Sligo team both put out shadow teams? I was told Clonguish rested most of their under 21s for a must win game tonight. Waste of time Downs players going to look at a challenge game if you ask me. Would it not be better for them to look back on competitive footage of Clonguish games if they are really that worried about them?" Large amounts of subs playing on both sides, sounds like it was more of a run out for the two panels rather than starting 15's

Replying To ned_flanders: "Heaven forbid the co. board would use the #2 football pitch in the county for an u19 final.
Not a good sign when complaining about pitches before a ball is kicked." It's not the pitch its the fact that one team has to travel for 2 hours which would get you to Dublin and one team travels for 15 mins.

Replying To Kew: "The tagline wasn't amateurs against professionals where did you get that from ? It's not like naas soccer club are playing Barcelona. it's two different sports coming together, nothing to do about professionals." I got it from hearing it endlessly when the series was on. The Aussies are professional athletes. Our lads are amateurs and have day jobs. How would it be hilarious that the Australians would be paid for the tour, given we know they're professional? It would be odd if they weren't paid.

Westmeath is unique in having separate football club and hurling clubs across the county
Only one dual club and even that club is split into two
Maybe it's to do with how sparsely populated rural Westmeath was back in the 30s and 40s due to the big estates
Anyway, the lack of a parish rule definitely benefits the big clubs in both football and hurling
