I saw 11 interviews with mentors of competing clubs on Facebook which I never saw in previous years. Also finals were mentioned on latest 50/50 draw. At least try to be fair with criticism.

Thought both Turin and Plunketts were full value for their wins. No taking from Turin but I think they may struggle at senior B. Did Pollard underestimate Plunketts??? and think they just had to turn up, Plunketts ran them ragged and seemed to get stronger as the game went on.

I think the clubs outside the elite with ambition such as Plunketts,Turin,Brownstown and Pollard despite the senior B defeat all had grounds for optimism today with Mullingar winning the senior B , Turin the intermediate and Clann Na Gael the under 16. jobber (Westmeath) - Posts: 2042 - 17/10/2026 23:36:17 2697695 Link

Did Pollard underestimate Plunketts??? and think they just had to turn up, Plunketts ran them ragged and seemed to get stronger as the game went on." Turin's first ever intermediate title and their first championship victory in 41 years. Think what it means to the Heffernans, Scally's, Augheys and others after all their barren years. Ray and Alan Aughey have played adult hurling for almost 60 years between them, John Gorman played for years and then became manager, whether they will struggle at senior B or not is a discussion for months down the line, they deserve to enjoy their fantastic win.

I thought Padraig Casey at centre forward for Plunketts was excellent, only 19 as well. Bright future ahead of him. Dheen (Westmeath) - Posts: 1169 - 18/10/2026 10:45:33 2697714 Link

Totally agree its wonderful for Turin and all their loyal members and supporters. They will struggle in senior B like the other 5 teams. Its a great competition where any team can win or lose every game. I would be worried to see rumoured changes about increasing numbers in the senior A championship as it will affect Weatmeath's most competitive championship over many years and effectively kill an intermediate championship whose importance was there for all who were in Cusack Park today. jobber (Westmeath) - Posts: 2042 - 18/10/2026 12:52:09 2697725 Link
