Westmeath will do well to get much support for another fundraiser after how the last one went. Plus most of the money raised has already been spent with none ring fenced for the COE.

Was this questioned at any meeting? Think it's pretty unfair and unacceptable that the purpose of the draw was not where the money went.

Roscommon had the finger on the pulse. A local house and tickets priced reasonably. 20 for 1 ticket. 50 for 3 tickets and 100 for 7 tickets.

I believe Joe Moran and Niall Mitchell are involved but both recovering from injury.

harry nial has been a real find . he will be great help to ray at midfield . the form of brandon kelly is also a positive development . its also great to see the return of boidou . unfortunately no one from my own club due to nigel hartes injury but we do have jamie as part of management . all positive so far

Agree completely regarding ticket prices. Westmeath at €100 each ruled out so many neutrals.

Roscommon GAA got it spot it on with pricing and they have ran several similar successful house draws now. They're hundreds of new houses being built in Mullingar now so you'd hope Westmeath GAA can learn from that house in Spain Draw & get it right next time with some new personnel driving it.
