The Gaels will take belief all the same that they could cause an upset next time out. Is Aonghus Clarke out for the year or just unavailable yesterday as would be a shock if he was dropped. With him back still fancy CTG to get to the decider

Maybe didn't risk him with knock he will back I'd say ctg were 5 or 6pts the better team yesterday only for 2 soft goals

Aonghus was doing all the drills yesterday and looked sharp enough. Apparently he's just carrying a niggle and Castletown didn't want to risk him and believed they'd beat the Gaels without him, and they were right.

Anyone know where I can get score updates on tonight's game? Can't get anything online Kingcosie (Limerick) - Posts: 12 - 11/09/2023 20:18:15 2503894 Link 0 |
You won your bet. Caslepollard 3-7 Daltons 0-10. Not a game that will be remembered judging by that scoreline! Dogfight on a wet evening I presume.

Preddan, I admire your interest in Westmeath hurling. I presume you are a Kildare man. However to be still in with a chance of winning the championship after 3 defeats would be farcical. Pollard and Clonkill have been defeated 3 times. I believe this format has gotten rid of dead rubber games. All championship games are high intenity from the get go since the format was introduced. Anyway Raharney safely through to the final. Castletown hot favourites to join them. The Gaels would need to produce the performance of their lives in the semi final. Not impossible. They gave Castletown a huge headstart yesterday and were always chasing the game.

Pollard bet Fr.Daltons in shocking bad conditions tonight in kinnegad End score was 3.07 Pollard Fr.Daltons 0.07 it was a very scrappy kind of game given the conditions it was expected. Thought McGrath was very harsh with some of his decisions. Plus side for us we stay up. pollard123 (Westmeath) - Posts: 16 - 11/09/2023 23:10:43 2503905 Link 0 |

the harm it does is makes matches less competitive.In our 3 championships no team is unbeaten.The top teams cant relax at any stage of the championship so standards will improve as nobody can afford to be sloppy.Its also easy to see that crowds are way up on other years.

Raharney have incredible potential. There's about 8 or 9 players on that team who are good enough to start for the county. Westmeathgael98 (Westmeath) - Posts: 50 - 12/09/2023 06:30:28 2503915 Link 0 |
Raharney have never won back to back titles despite their illustrious history. To suggest they're going to dominate Westmeath and then make an impact in Leinster is a bit too much. Raharney supporters would love to just win this year's title, Castletown are contenders and can't be written off. Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 1789 - 12/09/2023 10:28:47 2503939 Link 2 |
Calm down haven't won championship yet and Castletown can't be written off if they get into final

With all respect Raharney didn't get too far in Leinster last time. Leinster is a mine field, and that's before u meet TJ and his mates Bigjoe1 (Westmeath) - Posts: 49 - 12/09/2023 11:39:14 2503958 Link 1 |
Your right they have great potential but you can say the very same thing for Castletown. Castletown have dominated the underage scene in recent years, 3 minor championships in a row along with a couple of u19 championships, they'll win the u19 with ease this year too. That crop are starting to come through now and making an impact alongside the likes of Niall O'Brien, Aonghus Clarke, David Lynch, Johnny Bermingham, Clavin etc. They are also without Mick Heeney, Liam Varley and Conor Kane from last year. I'd say Castletown have the same potential as Raharney if not more. Dheen (Westmeath) - Posts: 883 - 12/09/2023 11:57:24 2503960 Link 0 |
Clonkill went back to back and struggled in leinster. Don't be on about making strides in leinster when there's nothing won. Deep breaths. Castletown will have different ideas too. Greenandgoldie (Westmeath) - Posts: 137 - 12/09/2023 12:07:30 2503962 Link 1 |
Castletown are favourites and the bookies are never too far wrong

Which bookie? One of them has Raharney 5/6 and CTG 6/5.

Sorry they were favourites going in to last weekend but obv not now as have 2 matches to win as opposed to one. They will be slight favourites for the final i'd imagine bar a shaky performance against the Gaels

Lads you're verging into fantasy land about team potential and domination. I wouldn't be looking too far ahead by suggesting huge strides could be made in Leinster. Great players in all top senior teams here that represented the county all the way through the grades. In that context, you have to remember the player pool size in Westmeath and the level of competition. Not trying to diminish the ability of these lads by any means. It's no surprise that county teams' backbone has always come from the top senior teams. gedupoutofit (Westmeath) - Posts: 170 - 12/09/2023 15:48:37 2504015 Link 1 |
Dublin champions probably be crokes, they are 20 points better than anything in westmeath.
