Some boost that Galway won yesterday. Croke Park will be full of maroon on the 9th of July. Temple56 (Westmeath) - Posts: 396 - 27/06/2022 09:27:29 2427845 Link 1 |

Two contrasting games in Cusack yesterday evening, Moate's excellent league run came to an unexpected end with Tyrrellspass easily winning the div 2 final. Tyrrellspass look in good fettle with the championship looming and will expect to strongly contend in section B. In the division 1 final a good victory for The Downs who look to have a very strong panel, they brought on 6/7 subs who all would probably start on every other senior team. Kinnegad will be disappointed as they had possession in injury time and leading by a point but were careless and The Downs equalised. Food for thought for Jack Cooney with Charlie Drumm outstanding at midfield, the best player on the pitch and he'd be worth starting in Tailteann final. Jack's son Briain was also excellent and it's great to see a young player injury free and showing his talent. Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 1506 - 27/06/2022 10:25:21 2427884 Link 0 |

Tyrellspass looked good & should make a good impression in the championship, Moate were very disappointing though. Left Full (Westmeath) - Posts: 239 - 27/06/2022 13:07:31 2427970 Link 0 |

Fair synopsis of the 2 league finals played yesterday. Good to Denis Glennon back with Tyrrellspass in the middle of the field. Ger Egan needed the game too. Second game very exciting although quality was questionable at times, conditions didn't help. A real rollercoaster of a game. Kinnegad with the breeze in the 1st half were flying but yet only led by a point at the break. The Downs took over and I think went ahead by 4 midway through the second hand half and brought in a few subs but this seemed to unsettle them. Kinnegad came storming back to leady by 2 in the closing stages. Led by a point into injury time but got overturned in defence which led to an equaliser for The Downs, who went onto dominate extra time outscoring Kinnegad by 6 points to 1. Drumm caught some serious ball and and his partnership with his county colleague Lynam definitely has potential. Thought Loughlin was quiet by his standards but was well marshalled by Giles (I think). Fleming and Cooney were decent upfront for Kinnegad. Interesting that they meet in the 1st round of the championship and I think we'll see changes on both sides. Great to see county players released and hopefully all came though unscathed.

Fair play to Cooney allowing county players to play. Added to the quality of both games. Wmeath2 (Westmeath) - Posts: 176 - 27/06/2022 13:45:24 2427993 Link 0 |

Fair analysis and it was mentioned afterwards that a Loman's forward line containing Cox, Dempsey, Heslin and O' Toole would be hard contained. Drumm would surely be at full back versus Loman's. Loman's clearly focused on 3 in a row as their dual players didn't feature at intermediate level in the championship last week and rumours that they've been told to concentrate on one code only.

Another Loman's rumour, where would we be without them.

How did Glennon play? I didn't realise he was back playing. Did he not retire after the 2020 county final? Tyrellspass have some very strong players and will probably be favourites to top group 2 of the senior championship

According to paper, he was in contention for Man of the Match which went to Ger Egan so he must have been lively. Looks in good shape and can still go by the name Skinny alright. Must be 37/38 at this stage but fair play to him. No doubt he'll be key for Tyrellspass this year who are in group 2 for the SFC along with: Rosemount Killucan Tang Athlone Moate All Whites BigSur (Westmeath) - Posts: 1131 - 30/06/2022 16:34:13 2428878 Link 0 |

Anyone know what tickets are available in Cusack Park for Taillteann final, ie what stands upper or lower. Ticketmaster has only very poor seats available so far. Any advice appreciated. Bigjoe1 (Westmeath) - Posts: 41 - 30/06/2022 20:31:20 2428909 Link 0 |

Westmeath has get it all wrong with u19 timing playing it last week of June and first two weeks of July when every young lad in the country is going on a holiday after the leaving cert, for some clubs it is basically an u17 team with 2 or 3 lads thrown in because there missing 6 or 7 main players. I have spoken to a few teams on this and most are in the same situation. This competition needs to go back to u20 and scheduling needs to be better we had 4 months to play that championship off. Also running the risk of injury of playing 3 games in a week with the first two rounds of adult championship. PowellJohn (Westmeath) - Posts: 95 - 02/07/2022 15:13:09 2429215 Link 0 |

This whole issue started when the county board accepted the change from u14,16,18 to u15,17,19 . Should've been kept at u18 which didn't have nearly any affect on teams as very few players who were 18 were playing senior in there last year minor bar the odd accepction and fixtures were fixed better. And then should've been kept at u21 which was played after the senior championships. U21 for some reason had a great incentive put in by clubs to win it and the quality of the competition was good. When they didn't keep that u19 should be played as an end of year comp after senior especially with championship finishing earlier and there will be decent conditions for games. Lads would have full interest then due to no other games being on

You should try SuperValu, friend of mine could only get poor enough tickets on ticket master and went into super value and got a lot better

Agree. Uneven age groups in a county with small playing numbers for most teams, especially rural clubs not a great idea. U19 the forgotten age group, starting this late in season, who trains a team to play in this after waiting so long to get going. No football unless playing adult up to now. Huge drop off players after U17 if not able/willing to play adult grades. Loss of playing full pitch at U14 level, loss of playing with size 5 football until last two years of juvenile football.

Still no sign of official fixtures for football championship. Very unfair on players, especially with Round 2 being mid-week with many players probably having to arrange half days from work.
