Minors are bagging plenty of goals, but yes they need to improve the point scoring. Majority of that team are u16 which bodes really well. Darragh McCormack might not play u20 hurling until next year, still recovering from the cruciate injury he got vs Castletown last year Dheen (Westmeath) - Posts: 883 - 01/04/2023 17:51:11 2468164 Link 0 |
Duignan s media profile has no bearing on an under 20 match. Zero. Credit to the minors for s as another decent score. Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 1796 - 01/04/2023 18:05:27 2468166 Link 1 |
Connor Park in some condition considering the weather, two championship matches there today and pitch held up well. Westmeath failed to fire in opening forty minutes and at that stage game was over. The Offaly attack looked potent and 2-22 in sixty mins on the day that was in it was impressive. Peter Clarke was immense at midfield and Marc Cunningham our top scorer from play from midfield, Cian McCarthy and David O' Reilly decent too, definitely areas that we could improve on. Offaly looked a fine side. Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 1796 - 01/04/2023 18:30:17 2468169 Link 0 |
Yeah agree on Duignan.. but we could have got something from that game today if so many ridiculous decisions didn't go against us, many were in agreement on that in the stand.. also our backs decision making when coming out with the ball needs to improve as it was poor today and we conceded avoidable scores from our own errors. Looking at it though, it appears we will have strong minor and u20 teams next year given the age profile of both panels. This year will be a big learning curve for all those young lads.

Home game vs Carlow, the winner plays either Kerry or Offaly at home. Dheen (Westmeath) - Posts: 883 - 02/04/2023 10:04:50 2468218 Link 0 |
As regards u16 results its probably bad but another bunch of lads should get better coaching.Going well but if we are to beat Offaly not to mind some of the superpowers we will have to up our scoring potential.First though its Carlow and Westmeath teams know all about their ability to derail our ambitions.

It's down for Friday at 2 o'clock but that's wrong, I'd say it'll be on before the u20 game Saturday in Mullingar

Under 20 match on Saturday, minor on Friday, both in Cusack Park, both at 2.00 Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 1796 - 03/04/2023 14:06:39 2468549 Link 0 |
Very strange having the minor on Friday at 2. Nobody will get to it

The minors first match was on a Saturday at home versus Meath and the Royals supporters outnumbered the home fans by approx 3:1, outside parents and family members our support base at underage level is prob the worst in Leinster, not much better at adult level.

It's neither a bank holiday or a public holiday

As our national games competitions covers 2 jurisdictions it is a Bank Holiday in one of them and a school holiday in both.

Well done to the minors, another good win. That's 9 goals in the last 3 games, which shows our prowess in front of goals however we definitely do need to improve the accuracy regarding point taking. Dheen (Westmeath) - Posts: 883 - 07/04/2023 15:53:06 2469435 Link 1 |
Three from three is very good.Now Offaly which will be a stiffer test.By the way credit as well to Tony O Keefe and Andrew Mitchell who are also involved.

U20 game on only 20 minutes and already we are on the end of horrible referee decisions. Antrim only scoring from Frees. Standard of refereeing has gone down considerably at underage level recently. Dheen (Westmeath) - Posts: 883 - 08/04/2023 14:22:53 2469546 Link 0 |
