James Dolan played 45 mins for Garrycastle last weekend and scored 1-4 from centre forward. Temple56 (Westmeath) - Posts: 383 - 10/05/2022 16:46:14 2416340 Link 0 |

Westmeath unquestionably the better team last year, outplayed Kildare at times, goals at crucial times proved decisive. Unfortunately we've come nowhere near that level of performance in the important 8/9 games since then. Some of our key players under par through injury or form, Ronan O' Toole not starting the last day is worrying as on his day he's vital. Kildare have definitely improved since then with the benefits of competitive performances in every division one match and they hammered Louth who had a very good year until that day. Kildare football buoyant at the moment with their 20s in the All Ireland final on Saturday and their minors impressing in the Leinster championship. Add Naas in the Leinster club championship and their schools dominance of the secondary schools competition and confidence is bound to be high. That might be our best hope, that complacency undermines their team. Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 1478 - 10/05/2022 17:03:06 2416344 Link 0 |

Good team Mick. But the aim is to leave a few weapons on the bench to bring on with 20 mins to go. I would leave James Dolan on the bench and Ger Egan who was great the last day but he wont last 70 mins in Croke park. The difference between ourselves and Kildare over the last two years has been the last 20 mins and our biggest problem has been our poor quality that has been on the bench. Kildare pulled away in each of the last two meetings in last 15/20 mins. If we got to the spot where we were within 3 points with 20 mins to go and we could call on Ger, James Dolan, Kieran Martin, Lorcan Dolan and Robbie Forde. These 5 subs bring quality and could change the game in our favor. No point starting Ger and James to bring them off for David Giles and David Lynch these two bring no x factor. I would start the two David's and take them off when they run out of gas in the 2nd half for our big guns. Temple56 (Westmeath) - Posts: 383 - 11/05/2022 16:24:45 2416554 Link 0 |

What good are lads off the bench when we are possibly 9 or 10 points down. The team I selected is our best starting 15. If that team or near it doesn't start I greatly worry what we will be beaten by

Starting James Dolan after playing one league club match would be definition of madness. Croke Park no place for an older player against a young side. Ger Egan played reasonably well the last day but clearly hasn't 70 mins in him, understandably based on injuries and game time. James Dolan I'd see as an option in the full forward line based on club championship, definitely not wing back. Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 1478 - 12/05/2022 11:36:19 2416651 Link 3 |

Not often I totally agree without question.Dolan could not possibly be Leinster semi final match fit.

Anybody know the reason why Lomans/Shamrocks div 1 league game was moved to Tuesday night? Temple56 (Westmeath) - Posts: 383 - 14/05/2022 15:29:03 2417031 Link 0 |

If Westmeath lose against Kildare tomorrow would the Lomans county players be able to play on tuesday night??

Yes, Loman's requested not to play along with other division 1 matches on Friday evening so they could have county players for league match. Loman's management must have little faith in Westmeath winning tomorrow. Castledaly win last night means Loman's are in relegation trouble. It seems unfair though that Loman's could be relegated having played every league match minus 6-7 key players plus Kevin Regan.

No surprises there Even with a win against shamrocks they will still need to beat rosemount the last day because of castledalys recent win. Hope there relagated after that stunt Westmeath213 (Westmeath) - Posts: 332 - 14/05/2022 17:46:01 2417049 Link 1 |

Every club has players missing for various reasons. The Downs are missing 6-7 due to county commitments and they are still top of the table. That's no excuse. Can't believe county board let them change the game. Really hope shamrocks beat them. Temple56 (Westmeath) - Posts: 383 - 14/05/2022 18:25:54 2417057 Link 1 |

Westmeath too busy to name a Team,talk about insulting players,no promotion whatsoever. gerry1414 (Dublin) - Posts: 42 - 14/05/2022 20:57:35 2417109 Link 0 |

No senior side is missing as many players as Loman's. They have six on the county panel. No other club as badly affected. They also have lads on county hurling panel and under 20s. The league loses respect if the top team in the county ends up in division 2 playing inferior teams. Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 1478 - 14/05/2022 21:39:52 2417120 Link 0 |

The downs minus 5 county footballers and two county hurlers so that makes it the same as Lomans who are missing 7. Kinnegad short 5/6 u20 footballers for a long period along with David Giles and Darren giles who is a long term injury both these teams are top and going to contest a final missing the same amount as Lomans the league loses no respect if there not in it especially because they haven't been good enough … definitely a Lomans supporter you are

Lomans have had no more than 5 starting players from the county final playing in nearly every single league game this year. They are the best team in Westmeath, and that comes at a cost with county u20 players, county hurlers, and county footballers. They have division 3 and 4 players starting league games for them. If you want Lomans to fail, then beat them, when it matters, in the championship. Unfortunately no team Has been able to do that since 2020. Otherwise leave them be when they can barley field a team for the league. Typical Westmeath, tear everyone else's building down to make yours the tallest.

Think the argument re Loman's and league was ended in Croke Park this afternoon. The Loman's lads accounted for 1-11 of our total, almost every score from play. Sam Mc and Ronan O' Toole were our best players by far. Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 1478 - 15/05/2022 21:00:59 2417412 Link 0 |
