Clonkill Vs CTG - CTG easy win, 6+ points. A clonkill team in transition with Mitchell while CTG have more players back. westmeathgaa11 (Westmeath) - Posts: 299 - 11/07/2023 22:15:21 2493900 Link 0 |

What's the story with all the Junior B games not being played and teams giving walk-overs. A waste of time if teams are not going to treat the competition with a bit of respect. Surely they have an idea of numbers available before entering a team.. Yellow&Green (Westmeath) - Posts: 51 - 12/07/2023 16:03:03 2493991 Link 0 |

Who gave walkovers, Ringtown in junior b and Castletown in junior A. I'd the say the issue of 3 games in 4, 5 or 6 days for some young players is part of it. Junior on Tuesday, U-19 on Thursday, some IHC on Friday, and the rest on Saturday and Sunday.

Some serious hurling to be done at junior B level. It should be sponsored by someone in the hurl making business to offset the outrageous amount of timber being broken by clubs at that level. Some clubs just can't afford to field a team such is the profligacy with ash plants in the Westmeath premier Junior B hurling competition. Trying to keep 15 intact hurls on the pitch is harder for some clubs than getting 15 hurlers out on the field. It's a trial of endurance for the club's who really want that silverware, ensuring they have enough money to keep 15 sticks on the pitch so that whenever some teams play the 2023 junior B final in November 2024, they can be proud of the victory by walkover.

Players don't even pull on a throw in anymore and invariably the referee gives a free when one player puts the leg in first I've even seen a red card for a legitimate pull from a throw in valley84 (Westmeath) - Posts: 1901 - 14/07/2023 10:34:28 2494280 Link 0 |

He's not too far off, I remember seeing a ref dummy the throw in at the start of a game, one of the lads pulled and the ref gave him a yellow... comical stuff.

Expecting close enough games, especially with the weather conditions. Senior A; CTG to beat Clonkill by 3-6pts, Pollard to beat LLG by the same, Raharney to beat Daltons by 6+ Senior B; Delvin to beat The Wood by 6-10 pts Brownstown & Ringtown to draw. Plunketts to beat Cullion by 4-6 pts. IHC Turin to beat Brigids by 1-3pts Southern Gaels to beat CTG stonemadbeany (USA) - Posts: 596 - 15/07/2023 14:33:29 2494499 Link 0 |

Great game between CTG and Clonkill last night, exciting the whole way through. Castletown edging it in the end. Niall O'Brien, Peter Clarke, David O'Reilly and Aonghus Clarke all impressive. Dheen (Westmeath) - Posts: 965 - 16/07/2023 10:26:59 2494716 Link 1 |

Still wouldn't be surprised if daltons took them, Gaels with inevitably lose a semi final again if they get there. Pollard on the other hand never showed up

Great for westmeath hurling to see all 3 championships still wide open after 2 rounds. Realistically all 6 senior A teams can still make a semi final. Great to see daltons doing well and are the first promoted team in a long time to keep 2 of the big 3 teams to only a few points, 8 goals in 2 games is good going. Senior B is wide open still but big shock to see delvin gone a step backwards, Ringtown seem to be in top form and look the team to beat so far which is good on their first year up. And intermediate as per every year is completely unpredictable and very hard to call a winner out of the 6 but for me i think castletown are the ones to beat Hurlingmad12 (Westmeath) - Posts: 27 - 17/07/2023 13:41:19 2495095 Link 0 |

Lough Lene Gaels impressive winners over Pollard, Pollard too reliant on Allen Devine who scored about 10/11 points of their 1-13, Gaels attack looked lively with the 2 Williams and Derek Mc and Eoin Daly looking sharp, semi final spot at least the target for the Gaels, Pollard looked toothless in attack and vulnerable to the high ball, Derek McNich got two goals in this way. Raharney also looked ill at ease under high ball, conceding four goals in one half is worrying for them, they too very relient on Killian Doyle who scored maybe 12 points. Clonkill match vs Pollard will be vital. Whoever loses is in jeopardy Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 1948 - 18/07/2023 00:05:57 2495276 Link 0 |

Is that going to be on YouTube or a club stream?
