It's a fair point by another poster that while Loman's are red hot favourites and have strolled through the championship their displays on county final day in recent years throw some doubts about them. In 2018 they were beaten by Shamrocks, Garrycastle in 2019 despite Loman's leading by 9-10 at one stage, the finals they won in 2020 and 2021 were won despite being poor by their standards for first game vs Garrycastle and in closing stages versus Tyrrellspass, last year was similar to 2018 in that a hungrier team outfought them and deservedly won. The key Loman's players will be aware of these performances and will either produce a massive display where they'll win by ten points or more or else it will be cagey and tight which gives the red and whites a fighting chance. Kinnegad are young, hungry and have a decent bench, they also have a very capable and experienced management team. Don't rule out a replay.

ok for me St Lomans to win by 4pts in Senior. Just experience will get them over the line. Would be great to see Kinnegad win.
Malachys to win by 2 pts. If David Lynch doesn't play for Malachys, it would be a huge loss. does anyone know if he's in or out. Did he play with Castletown at weekend.
Kilbeggan to win by 2pt in Junior.

All close games though and weather conditions might have a say

3 intriguing finals in store this weekend , I hope the weather gods give each team the break they so badly need ,
In the senior I think it's hard to look passed Lomans the old dog for the hard road , 9 finals in a row there going to take stopping there improving while making it look effortless with each game , kinnegad great team and this won't be a one off there here for the future too but I think Sunday will be a valuable learning curve for them.
Lomans by 5 for me

Milltownpass And Malachys I've seen each side once this year one impressed whilst the other I honestly would of laughed if someone told me that day that they were on the verge of becoming intermediate champions because what I saw against Bal that day was worlds away from what they are now , malachys have been impressive winning all games a lot depends of mangan and lynchs availability but I fancy the momentum behind Milltownpass to finally see them over the line

In the junior haven't seen either team , but I think lomans will pip it from what I hear they've a lovely mixture of expieriexe and talented youth ready to make the step up , the future may well be blue in Westmeath .
Also shamrocks for the minor

Best of luck to each and every team contesting finals , no matter what outcome 6 very good teams fair play to every panellist from each side in each final

When is the senior football final on between Kinnegad and Lomans. I have looked at the WestMeath Gaa website page and on the face book page and it not there. Is it a secret or are they afraid to many people will turn up to see Kinegad win.
There is a constant issue withe the offical web page not being up to date with Match times and I know of a number of people who have turned up to matches to find that the time on the offical web page is incorrect.

Great excitement in the Park today, two exciting games, easily could have been draws in both, Kilbeggan totally dominated first half but half goal chances missed looked costly. Loman's wing back Sean Bracken scored 1-1 in second half, prob best player on field, Loman's missed glaring chances when up by 2 to get insurance point, scrambled Kilbeggan goal won the day. Malachy's and Milltownpass was a very even contest, Milltownpass always chasing the game and looked to have replay with a great Brandon Kelly point. Morgan Gavigan kicked a 40 metre free in injury time to bring Malachy's back senior. Hard on Milltownpass who played well. Shane Corcoran and Shane Clavin stood out with Johnny Bermingham getting the early goal. Pitch held up well but four sets of supporters congratulating and commiserating after both matches didn't do much good, no one's fault.
