Replying To Mick1234:  "Any news on the football who is injured and who is not. I think we have a great chance again down. A win on Saturday could get our lads moving forward for championship they have been very unlucky in previous league games"
Charlie Drumm is gone travelling. Lose Saturday evening and it will be 10 losses in a row since the league final win over Down nearly a year ago. That's where we are at.

Replying To Temple56:  "Population has to be taken in to consideration?

In the last census Athlone had a population of 22,869 202 more than Mullingar. For Westmeath as a county to thrive in GAA we need a good blend of players from both Athlone, Mullingar and everywhere in between.

Ray Connellen the only player the town of Athlone on either football or hurling squads. This has to be highlighted as a problem. I know of two lads that didn't get involved in a senior panels this year from the south of the county as they felt it was very Mullingar oriented.

COE should have been in Tyrrellspass or rochfortbrigid as it would be between both big towns and near the motorway!!!"
I know in Mount Temple It might have escaped you but we do have a county Hurling team of whom the majority are from the North of the county almost as far from Mullingar as you are.I am no lover of Lomans or Shamrocks but the reality is if you look at the map Mullingar is at the centre of the county and Tyrellspass as you suggest is almost an hour's drive from Castlepollard.
