Replying To Iarmhi22: "Yea they have been but have only been released to the clubs I see some clubs have the information on there Facebook pages. Nothing on Westmeath Facebook which is typical." 3 days out from the start of the championship and I had to get the westmeath examiner for full fixtures, which is a disgrace, I knew some of them already but I like to go to as many games as I can fit in this time of year. Is there anyone actually doing anything at county board level? No p.r.o? Equally as disappointing is the fact that the paper has no mention of the championship starting, no previews or opinions. I was expecting at least a couple of pages per grade with some sort of preview as to what teams are expected to go places or who'd struggle, but nothing! Very poor stuff in my opinion. Have they no sports journalists anymore? CleanShoulder (Westmeath) - Posts: 357 - 03/08/2021 12:05:09 2367200 Link

Tubberclaire won junior last year. Leftpeg1 (Westmeath) - Posts: 97 - 03/08/2021 14:31:02 2367269 Link

This weekend's fixtures are on the website if you scroll down to upcoming fixtures but don't seem to be in any particular order. My club secretary tells me the co board fixtures sec is doing a great job but it doesn't seem to be linking up with the IT people. The fixutres come in a 2 or 3 page word document, can this not simply be shared via social media ?There is a new PRO and an IT Committee I believe but don't know any more after that. Does anyone know if games will be streamed on Iarmhi TV ? I'm reading 500 max attendance for Cusack Park and 200 everywhere else split evenly between the 2 clubs with no double headers.

Here are my predictions for the first round of championship matches this weekend. Lomans still the team to beat even with Heslin missing. Tyrellspass and Garrycastle their closest competition really. Back having the old format in both championships should really give an indication early on who is going to make the business end. I personally preferred last years format making it a more open competition and probably not as tough on players, especially those playing both codes. Castledaly look to be everyone's favourites in Intermediate but it is a tough championship to call. Tang will still be feeling they should have won it out last year and Miltownpass will be strong again with Finbar Coyne back fit and playing well.

Great to get back into the county ground watching championship football… The Downs good value for the win this time out, in fairness they shaded it this evening but wouldn't bet against Lomans reversing the result next time round. Killucan the better team earlier on but still nearly let Moate back into it. Looking at other results, mostly predictable I'd say, Tang and Castledaly good tight game by the look of it, Milltownpass seem to have eased past Ballymore as expected and Bunbrosna look the real deal at junior with a double score win over Ballinagore in the battle of the 2 top junior teams in the group, would have expected them to win but not as easily, are they going to bounce straight back up… CleanShoulder (Westmeath) - Posts: 357 - 07/08/2021 22:28:49 2368659 Link

Both teams looked poor if I'm being honest. Bunbrosna also lost 3/4 lads to injury which could be there downfall in this championship. Would fancy both Lomans and the Downs to beat them. westmeathman99 (Westmeath) - Posts: 129 - 07/08/2021 23:08:39 2368678 Link
Loman's winning junior championship match by 19 points against Athlone indicative of their strength in depth. They and The Downs will take beating in Senior and junior championships, especially the junior. Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 2271 - 07/08/2021 23:21:33 2368687 Link
Great to see Lomans fielding three teams, must be breeding like rabbits, or are they actively recruiting again? JohnyDuncan (UK) - Posts: 112 - 08/08/2021 10:29:20 2368748 Link

The thing about Bun is that they were never spectacular to look at but at the same time are very hard to beat Jack_Sparrow (Westmeath) - Posts: 1046 - 08/08/2021 12:20:59 2368768 Link
Replying To Jack_Sparrow: "The thing about Bun is that they were never spectacular to look at but at the same time are very hard to beat" True, some would say playing poorly but winning is the sign of a good team I suppose. Bun defended quite well as usual, but we're rather poor on the ball and took a long time to put Ballinagore away. Ballinagore scored 1-1 inside the first 10 minutes and only managed to score 5 points in the next 50, but were somehow just 3 points down in the final quarter before Bunbrosna eventually pulled away. westmeathman99 (Westmeath) - Posts: 129 - 08/08/2021 13:12:06 2368786 Link

Bunbrosna have a wealth of experience and some quality ballers, and importantly they know how to get over the line in matches. It'll take a very good junior side to get one up on them, Ballinagore are probably the next strongest junior club so that win is a fair statement. Am I right in saying that Bun would still be intermediate only for the change in format last year as they would've been playing out of the seeded group had the championship went ahead as normal?
