Outrageously unfair on our fine minor team.

Leaves a very sour taste.

Willie Maher and many more need to publicly call out this stupid system and make sure it is changed so that it never happens again.

Super well done to players and management for proving that we can more than mix it with the very best that there is in Leinster. Big days ahead.

Replying To preddan:  "The westmeath county board should in the least make a statement about the state of this minor championship to the Leinster council.. Dublin go through on three points at the expense of westmeath on four..it's just no words to describe how unfair it is"
Totally unfair. You finished with more points than Kilkenny and Dublin, and the same as us. Ridiculous system.

Brilliant post optimism in a situation of complete injustice.
Big congrats to a fine team and to a management who gave us victories over Dublin,Laois,Offaly and Kerry and but for ten minutes of madness before and after half time against Kilkenny we would have qualified despite the dumb system.
