Replying To iarmhiabu:  "The year after St Brigid's won the All Ireland, something that eluded Garrycastle. Do you not think Loman's have had an easy ride in Leinster this year, winning their 2 games to date by a combination of 26 points?"
The problem is Lomans are rarely tested in Westmeath

St Loman's had the second worst defence if I remember correctly in the group, conceding calamitous goals to average teams. The difference was they had a set of county forwards to bail them out in every game. Paddy Dowdall has clearly been working hard to improve their defensive structure. The Downs severely tested St Loman's twice, pound for pound they are as good as them.

I would agree the downs and St Lomans are of a similar standard. 2 quality teams. It's great to have 2 teams of that quality in the county at the moment.
