Replying To preddan: "Don't care what anyone says... It should be four teams in the semis, having one semi is ridiculous, I know only 6 teams in championship but seriously how is one extra game going to do any harm also it would have been a double header. It would have left pollard something to play for tomorrow also if 4 teams were going through" Don't agree. In Senior B it would have meant a team getting to semis after getting 3 points. There has to be a reward for finishing 1st versus 4th in a 6 team competition. Jack_Sparrow (Westmeath) - Posts: 1031 - 11/09/2023 07:30:29 2503698 Link

LLG toothless again, Castletown won with relative ease, score lines flatters Collinstown, no aonghus on the field either" Maybe favourites but don't chickens yet ctg have football too ye but gey al players back they can be hard to beat and could win Gaaforlife2023 (Longford) - Posts: 543 - 11/09/2023 08:06:03 2503702 Link

You shouldn't have a chance of making a semi final after 3 beatings CasKD (Westmeath) - Posts: 38 - 11/09/2023 08:22:30 2503704 Link
The structure in Westmeath is very good - it was brought into avoid dead rubber games and it has succeeded in that regard. Nobody in Clonkill or Cullion was complaining about being knocked out of the championship after losing 3 matches. Westmeathgael98 (Westmeath) - Posts: 50 - 11/09/2023 08:31:57 2503705 Link

Let's be real if Raharney had a full outfit against them in the 1st round then tonight's game would be whoever loses is relegated as Both teams would have zero points from 4 games westmeathgaa11 (Westmeath) - Posts: 299 - 11/09/2023 09:22:27 2503713 Link

It was after that they started to perform better but pollard stagnated. Gaawestmeath (Westmeath) - Posts: 86 - 11/09/2023 09:43:03 2503719 Link
Pollard were deserving winners but they were playing a depleted Raharney side and Killian Doyle's contribution in only ten minutes almost changed the game. In previous championships clubs won county titles having lost three games which in a seven game competition is ludicrous. There have been no dead rubbers in any match so far with every team having something to play for, it's an excellent system. Very hard for anyone to argue that Pollard deserve to be in a semi final having been comprehensively beaten three times. Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 1967 - 11/09/2023 10:38:59 2503733 Link
Would agree that Pollard were in good form but Raharney were missing Killian Doyle, Robbie Greville, David Hickey and Jamie Mulkearns i think. Completely different team. It will be interesting to see how the Gaels go in the semi final. You would have to fancy CTG to get through and they will have all the momentum then. Hard to know who will win Senior B. All i know is the relegation game between Delvin and Brownstown should be a classic! soreknee (Westmeath) - Posts: 166 - 11/09/2023 10:59:28 2503740 Link
Plunketts are doing fantastic work at underage level. I think they will be a senior A team in the longer term but the final is going to extremely close. Any of the three remaining teams can win senior B. Westmeathgael98 (Westmeath) - Posts: 50 - 11/09/2023 11:28:38 2503753 Link
Lads, bit of a strange one. Entirely by accident I added Castlepollard to a weekend accumulator. Now they are the last team it's waiting on for a pretty decent sum. They are playing Fr. Daltons tonight but who should win this game. I have zero info on it and have a decent cash out offer. Any info is greatly appreciated.

I've never even heard of them. Just saw them on it after it was put on. Wrong button was pressed. Sound Kingcosie (Limerick) - Posts: 12 - 11/09/2023 13:43:44 2503802 Link

Replying To stonemadbeany: "I'm sure if there is a big shock and Pollard lose, all the lads on this forum will cover you :-)" Up to everyone to cover their own bets. The lad asked for advice so we gave him some. After that it's up to him make his own mind up. Except Cheltenham I don't place many bets a year. But I hardly ever cash out. I can't remember the last time. When I put money on its gone as far as I'm concerned. If you win its a bonus. So why not make it a big bonus; ) Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 14235 - 11/09/2023 16:37:48 2503852 Link
