Replying To westmeathgaa11:  "There is definitely far better non county hurlers in senior clubs who weren't involved in this today who are surely more worthy of a "Westmeath senior hurling trial"
Castletown: Obviously involved in senior
Raharney: Darren Finn,Devin Hill, David Hickey
Clonkill: Ciaran Nolan, Matthew Glynn
LL: Daire Daly, Dan Higgins, Dan Reilly, Philly Reilly, Jason Malone, Marcus & Aaron Kennedy
Pollard: John McCarthy, Joe Rabbit, Darragh o Reilly, Sean Lancaster
Daltons: No players involved at all it seems??

I see lots of players who don't start for their clubs. Brian Gilchrist & Conor Sheridan don't start for pollard
Seb McPherson & Enda Newman don't start for delvin. Sean Jackson doesn't get played for Castletown which is why he isn't involved with Leinster campaign
Dan Connaughton doesnt start for Cullion
Eoin English doesn't always start for pollard
Robbie Cleary was taken off after 20 minutes in senior semi final

Who was in charge with picking these panels?"

Replying To preddan:  "to Past Hurler (none) and Viking66 (wexford)
yes i agree on both your points, the leinster club is actually a better competition than the munster.
On st martins i just inclined to not see them beating na fianna, mainly so in that the wexford champs just havent had a good campaign in recent years, i always thought martins had great potential about 5 years ago but it didnt happen for them, maybe as you say they will do it this year. its just na fianna and kilcormac are developing into a type of superclub at this moment in time.
on CTG i was watching a podcast on youtube the other day and the lack of credit that they got for beating thomastown was ridiculous, saying they were always a team beaten from pillar to post in leinster, i wonder do any of these analysts on youtube know anything, i remember a few years ago ctg gave kk a good game and i was at the mlr game in 2013 when they were unlucky to lose and mlr got to an all ireland after."
Most of those "analysts", in particular journalists, cone across as not watching many games at all. TV pundits also who don't know the names of lads playing intercounty for years, etc etc. There's no reason CTG can't win Leinster.
