What a weird thing to get upset about.

Brilliant game yesterday. Great players on view. Westmeaths hurling still has plenty of life in it and the time has come for the county manager to out all of these many resources to use. With the talent in the Gaels,Raharney,Clonkill and Castletown allied to the best of the rest its winning Joe Mcdonagh we should be thinking off as the talent is there.

I love how the media story about Gavin is that he's 'out of the running'... not submitting an application means he was never in it. I hope whoever did apply are fairly credible & high profile, football needs a strong Galway team. I've always liked the way Galway carry themselves on the field of play, but unfortunately the time to win an All Ireland under Joyce had passed. And based on this year, you'd be certainly looking around and wondering, what if.

Gort: Greg Lally, Nathan Gill, Aidan Helebert
Castlegar: Simon Thomas, Darragh Neary, Jack Coyne, Ger Farragher
Loughrea: Shane Morgan, Caiman Killeen, Anthony Burns, Jamie Ryan, Jack Shaughnessy
Ardrahan: Donagh Fahy, Brian Callanan and the Gardiner's
Craughwell: Ryan Howley, the Monaghan's and the Leen's.
Turloughmore: Cillian Trayers, Daniel Madden, The 3 Sean's.

Just my thoughts.

Not too sure on the relegation and Intermediate games.

Jamie Ryan off the bench for Loughrea and Greg Lally by far the standouts of the weekend for me as well

Absolutely superb game yesterday. Anyone watching club hurling in Westmeath can see the standard is there. There are quality players right across the county and enough talent to be seriously challenging for the Joe McDonagh.

There seems to be a huge gap between the potential in the county and what's being delivered. The management setup simply isn't getting enough from the resources at its disposal.

I said before a ball was even struck that this setup looked like the third choice from the four candidates interviewed. Last season only reinforced that view. We were possibly the only county team across the four codes that consistently regressed as the year went on. Instead of seeing improvement, structure and momentum, performances deteriorated.

That's what makes it all the more frustrating. The talent is there, and the club game continues to prove it. The question isn't whether Westmeath has the players to compete for a Joe McDonagh title; it's whether the current management team is capable of getting the best out of them. Based on what we've seen so far, there are serious grounds for doubt.

Replying To Belclare98:  "Have no affiliation to Tuam Stars but work in the town, so I'd say it's definitely a post that would interest people.
They won a county Minor a few years ago and many of those lads still on the fringes.
Probably need a shake up with more youth given a chance.
Plenty of good coaches involved with the club so I'd imagine it will be an internal appointment"
The situation is unfortunately looking very poor for Tuam at the moment with regards to winning another Senior county title. This year Killererin are celebrating 50 years since their first title in 1976. Since Killererin's first, Corofin have won 21 titles, Killererin have now 6 in total, Tuam Stars 4, Annaghdown 4, Mountbellew-Moylough 3, Salthill-Knocknacarra 3, Moycullen 3, Ballinasloe 2, Dunmore 1, Milltown 1, Monivea-Abbey 1 and Caltra 1. They are now also competing with Claregalway and Oranmore-Maree who've had a lot of recent underage success. The so called big 3, Dunmore McHales, Ballinasloe and Tuam Stars have won 7 titles in 50 years.
