Replying To stonemadbeany: "Reaffirms my thoughts re this forum, half the people on here have no clue as though what goes on in the county. I'm wondering are these people in nursing homes or what. It was known 6 months ago that there was no fixtures during the Fleadh." I must have missed the announcement 6 months ago so. If we had a decent county website we wouldn't have to be on here asking for details of fixtures, rules around placements etc. I imagine people in nursing homes would know more about the fleadh than anyone else! Games were moved from mullingar to elsewhere in recent years when the fleadh was on, what's the problem with doing that? iarmhi_an_mhaith (Westmeath) - Posts: 275 - 11/08/2023 12:01:33 2500041 Link
Replying To Icehouse: "Well Lester , I think that you haven't a clue about Westmeath and Caulry football . The carry on in last Saturday evening left every Caulry supporter fuming. Very disrespectful to Loman's and natural 's alike . The reality is that if Shane Curran had the pick of all south Westmeath he still could not pick a team to beat the present day St. Loman's. I was talking to a former Caulry player. He told me about Larry Nugent going over Mickey Scanlon's head to catch a ball. That's the Caulry way. Westmeath have a great Championship system in place the envey of most counties . We don't want ruined by the Cake or another Cake" Its not like Shane Curran to make it all about Shane Curran LOL Corofin123 (Westmeath) - Posts: 11 - 11/08/2023 13:01:32 2500061 Link
No need for fixtures during Fleadh, championship on schedule Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 1950 - 11/08/2023 14:17:15 2500077 Link
Who have been the standout players in the championship this year? I think the westmeath board should have a team and player of the championship each year also westmeath99 (Westmeath) - Posts: 20 - 14/08/2023 11:06:47 2500433 Link

As regards the best players so far, we can't judge anyone until it becomes knockout. That's when you'll see the players of the championship stand up. Time and time again with get a little carried away with group stage performers, who then can go missing in a semi final / final. We have another while to wait but I like your thinking on the accolades for those players that do eventually stand out. Edman78 (Westmeath) - Posts: 100 - 14/08/2023 19:41:37 2500556 Link

The county website is top class re fixtures and results, both adult and underage. Results in immediately, fixtures on social media, with club secretaries, in local newspapers, some people love whinging. Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 1950 - 15/08/2023 14:35:31 2500643 Link

Have st Lomans dipped into the transfer market again ? Westmeath213 (Westmeath) - Posts: 337 - 16/08/2023 13:13:45 2500780 Link
Replying To martyW: "The best scoring difference of the games between the 3 teams rather than overall I think" Where is this in the rules? The planning report issued to clubs at the start of the year points to article 6.21 which doesn't mention the games between the 3 teams. Article 6.21 alludes to the overall score difference westmeathgaa11 (Westmeath) - Posts: 299 - 16/08/2023 14:19:25 2500796 Link
Looking at the intermediate championship section A last round fixtures. If Rosemount, Milltown and Ballymore all win their games it would leave the top five out of the six teams finishing level on 6 points. That would be some finish mintyfresh (Westmeath) - Posts: 251 - 16/08/2023 14:45:46 2500805 Link

Part 5(c) the relevant section where it says scoring difference from the head to head games.

If three teams are level on points it goes on the results in the games only between those three teams first, then score difference only in the games between the three teams that are tied on points. Probably a fairer way to do it. Wmeath2 (Westmeath) - Posts: 180 - 16/08/2023 19:25:44 2500876 Link

If it's those two plus Shandonagh on 6 points then it's Athlone who progress rather than Shamrocks (who would have done based on scoring difference). No change if it's Moate Athlone and Shandonagh on 6 , as it will still be Moate. So basically Shamrocks are out if Athlone beat Garrycastle , which they surely will. jamsie (Westmeath) - Posts: 465 - 17/08/2023 09:45:57 2500909 Link

If it is Shamrocks, Athlone and Shandonagh will Shamrocks not go through? Bet Shandonagh by 9 and lost to Athlone by 2 leaving them on +7. Athlone bet them by 2 and Shandonagh by 1 leaving +3. honda15 (Longford) - Posts: 94 - 17/08/2023 10:13:48 2500914 Link
