You can see why both these guys would be linked. One a 2 in a row winning club manager who also managed the county u20's with the added bonus of knowing offaly inside out and the other is one of the greatest we ever produced. But word out there is that it's just rumour.

Very disappointing & strange on what ive heard about the ctg manager (and malachys gk). Credit to him he is a great servant to his club and county and this is out of character. I have heard he said something to a selector and then the linesman alerted the referee to it. Very harsh that he is missing both the hurling semi AND the football final WestmeathFan (Westmeath) - Posts: 30 - 20/09/2023 14:19:42 2504950 Link 0 |
It must have been pretty bad for that to happen. Derek Gallagher will most likely take over CTG for the semi final if so.

Alan Mangan suspended as a result of overheard comment at last Castletown match and suspension rules him out of Malachy's matches including Intermediate final, quite possibly his swan song after 26 years in Malachy's colours. Surprised he hasn't appealed this to further committees as he seems to have a strong case. He's also in the stand for semi final versus the Gaels on Sunday. Castletown's last match in his sideline absence was league final versus Castlepollard when they produced their worst display of the year.

He's appealing.

Disappointing to see the sole intermediate clubs beaten today in semi finals, no offence to the senior clubs who competed well but a Southern Gaels vs St. Brigid's would have been a novel decider. Clonkill or Castletown replacing Brownstown in senior B next year. Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 1789 - 23/09/2023 19:32:10 2505349 Link 2 |
CTG and Clonkill into the intermediate final and Delvin beat Brownstown to stay up in Senior B Dheen (Westmeath) - Posts: 883 - 23/09/2023 19:32:16 2505350 Link 0 |
As a neutral i would of loved to see a southern gaels and st.brigids final, how come one semi was in cusack and not the other surely both semi finals should of been in the park or none at all, and was very suprised to see jimmy greville was reffing the castletown game considering all the controversy going on between the budda Hurlingmad12 (Westmeath) - Posts: 26 - 24/09/2023 08:36:32 2505398 Link 0 |
Castletown and Clonkill setting the standard once again. The sole clubs have to be able to defeat the second teams of the big clubs before progressing, otherwise the standard will drop across the board. It means Brigids and Southern Gaels will know they have to come back stronger next year to just make the final nevermind win it.

It's a pity that neither Brigids or Southern Gaels made the final, Southern Gaels were poor in the 2nd half, conceded two poor goals, Clonkill's experienced men made the difference in the 2nd half, and Johnny Lynam had a good game, especially considering he hasn't hurled in few years and only went back this year after The Downs last game. Like a lot of people I thought Brigids would win the other one, and agree that both semi's should've been in the park, The Plunketts/Brigids relegation game last year was in The Downs, so why not the same for Delvin v Brownstown. I'd say if Raharney were in an IHC semi it would be in the park. If the rain that's forecast comes today then both semi finals will be a dog fights, it might suit The Wood more than Ringtown, and give the Gaels a fighting chance in the senior. stonemadbeany (USA) - Posts: 574 - 24/09/2023 13:02:44 2505426 Link 0 |
Very one sided game just over in Cusack, Ringtown the better side but Crookedwood's indiscipline was costly, three sent off, think all straight reds, Ringtown also had a player sent off which means he misses final Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 1789 - 24/09/2023 16:14:42 2505440 Link 0 |
Gaels got Castletown on the right day, with such poor conditions and it suited them. Making their first final since 2009! Dheen (Westmeath) - Posts: 883 - 24/09/2023 17:59:50 2505450 Link 0 |
Correct call with LLG. I was not expecting that.

Good to see Gaels through to the final, first time since Plunkett's in 2013 that someone else from the big 3 has even got that far. Bigjoe1 (Westmeath) - Posts: 49 - 24/09/2023 18:17:44 2505453 Link 0 |
A game where a lot of the younger players stood out in particular David Williams, Shane Williams, David O'Reilly and Peter Clarke. Dheen (Westmeath) - Posts: 883 - 24/09/2023 18:29:04 2505457 Link 0 |
