Young shane corcorcan from malacys will be soon a good replacement for sam duncan Mattyreilly (Westmeath) - Posts: 164 - 04/11/2023 19:31:51 2511505 Link
Shane Corcoran is a fine prospect but he's a wing forward or corner forward, never plays midfield for Malachy's, Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 1968 - 05/11/2023 11:24:30 2511549 Link
Replying To Garmin: "So your a massive follower of Longford football to know they have a better team on paper? your statement is very far fetched!" 10 point win for Lomans. I think my statement was right! Lomans far better on paper and on the pitch. Longford football in bad place Tough game against Naas next time out but this Lomans team I think are on par with them and have every chance to get to the final Temple56 (Westmeath) - Posts: 521 - 05/11/2023 16:38:54 2511593 Link
Killoe were significantly worse than when they visited Cusack Park three years ago. The Longford club championship must be at its lowest ebb in years, Killoe would struggle to compete in section A of the Westmeath championship, two McCartans, Tooler, John H and Shane D allowed to do what they wanted and match was over after 15 minutes. Loman's impressive but totally untested, hard to see Luke staying with Killoe. Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 1968 - 05/11/2023 19:21:19 2511618 Link

Don't know if they have many dual players Mattyreilly (Westmeath) - Posts: 164 - 05/11/2023 20:38:25 2511634 Link
StLomans we're a joy to watch today there clinical attacking play was brilliant , suspect defensively at times but when your notching up a score line of 1-20 you'll win most football matches you play , forward line we're brilliant , I expected a tighter affair but killoe we're blown away inside 15 minutes , im excited to see the semi final , could we have a Westmeath team in a Leinster club final for the 2nd year running TheGaaMan77 (Westmeath) - Posts: 70 - 05/11/2023 21:44:34 2511646 Link
Naas will be favourites but if Lomans bring their A game I think they have every chance of causing an upset. Wasn't at the game in Longford today but it sounds like Killoe couldn't live with their forwards or didn't have a plan for them. Not easy as they have 6 top notch attackers plus a strong bench. Lomans now have 2 wins in Leinster with Naas having a surprisingly comfortable win over Summerhill. Naas will be gunning for another shot at Crokes so if they take the eye off the ball in Mullingar they will pay the price. BigSur (Westmeath) - Posts: 1176 - 05/11/2023 22:14:43 2511650 Link
Replying To Mattyreilly: "Naas have the hurling quarter final next weekend. Don't know if they have many dual players" Could be very wrong but I think they're might be only 2 or 3 dual players in the club TheGaaMan77 (Westmeath) - Posts: 70 - 05/11/2023 22:45:54 2511656 Link

Lomans are a serious team and a joy to watch, I honestly thought Killoe had a chance, but clearly a massive gap between senior clubs at the moment. sad to see.

Leinster Club SFC Fixtures Semifinals: St Lomans v Naas, 19-Nov, 1.30pm, TEG Cusack Park St Mary's Ardee v Kilmacud Crokes, 19-Nov, 1.30pm, Louth Venue TBC Final, 2-Dec, 2.15pm, Croke Park Verdict: Killoe were weak, St Lomans took them apart in the first half. Naas will be no pushover. I hope that we see a second Leinster Club final in a row featuring a Westmeath Club, following the exploits of The Downs last year. However I think this is where the journey ends for St Lomans. Forward line is doing well, backs are still vulnerable. The Downs beat St Mary's last year in TEG Cusack Park by 1-17 to 0-12, scoring 1-16 from play. I expect Kilmacud Crokes to hammer St Marys. Paul Mannion back at Centre Half Forward. Shane Walsh and Shane Cunningham are in form. Kilmacud Crokes v Naas final, with Kilmacud to go on and win both the Leinster and All-Ireland Club Finals JoxerDaly (Westmeath) - Posts: 25 - 06/11/2023 09:52:03 2511682 Link

Any updates on club football managers ? I see Gary Dolan is back at the helm at Garrycastle. Any other rumours doing the rounds ? Lots of vacancies as we know. I see other counties refer to this as the management merry go round ! BigSur (Westmeath) - Posts: 1176 - 06/11/2023 12:59:24 2511738 Link
Well done Lomans on keeping the cocky boys of Longford club football quiet for a while. They were sure of getting to a Leinster final once Crokes were on the other side of the draw. They didn't even get out of their beds yesterday lol Spinx (Longford) - Posts: 1346 - 06/11/2023 15:08:28 2511776 Link

Replying To thestrapper49: "Naas have no chance then" Why would Naas not have a chance? I think this game will be a good tight game. Spinx (Longford) - Posts: 1346 - 06/11/2023 16:02:05 2511792 Link

Anyword on Minor or u20 set up for 2024?, last years u16s seemed to be impressive going by results but very hard to look too much into it as them cups can have a mixture of teams. U20s were good last year and kinnegad were strong u19 this year so maybe there lads will be the backbone of the team. Lomans did well to make u19 final, Moate strong, Caulry and tubberclare are pretty decent to. PowellJohn3 (Westmeath) - Posts: 66 - 07/11/2023 10:40:02 2511857 Link
