what type of comment is that tyrrellspass are a small rural club . it is to their credit and the quality of their players that they do so well mickcunningham (Westmeath) - Posts: 1899 - 11/09/2022 10:37:51 2440290 Link 0 |

Kilbeggan relegated to junior, Maryland much better yesterday. Tubberclair big winners against Castledaly after having a man sent off after 15 mins for 2 yellows. This seemed to lift tubberclare and in the second half completely dominated. Defensively they were superb and Castledaly didn't have the legs with 10 to go even being a man up.

You would not have to be a private investigator to figure out Motte is from Moate and you dont have to search very hard to see how his own club got on this year.

Whats gone so wrong with Castledaly-well beaten by Tubberclaire y/day and only scoring 3 pts in second half as against T/claire scoring 1-8--looking like a long stay in intermediate(or worse) is on the cards for them. Bruno@1 (Westmeath) - Posts: 267 - 11/09/2022 12:31:10 2440304 Link 0 |

All you have to do is look at what their underage teams have been doing for the last 10 years, look at Maryland for example, underage was competing at D3 amalgamated for years and nearly down to junior, seen it ourselves here in bun, we weren't senior all that far ago ourselves but just hadn't the numbers coming through our underage, I think a few more established "big" clubs could also be in trouble in a few years, E.g gcastle

Actually it was Nigel Harte who I meant to say was huge for Tyrellspass in the second half as they got control-best player on the pitch

What will happen the groups in junior 1 next year with Ballinagore relegated to junior 2 and all 4 teams left in junior 2 being second teams of senior teams. So will be 7 second teams and 5 junior teams in junior 1 next year. Wmeath2 (Westmeath) - Posts: 186 - 11/09/2022 17:18:19 2440327 Link 0 |

Can't imagine any junior club agreeing to have them in the same groups with the fiasco that went on this year with the senior B clubs

Next years groups won't be determined until we see which group provides this years winner. Either-way Caulrys 2nd team get promoted from J2 at Ballinagores expense who never won a single match in the JFC. Kilbeggan will also play in next years JFC too.

Tubberclaire were indeed very impressive. They are a very young looking team and if you seen both teams lined up at the start it looked like men vs boys but Tubberclaire when the whistle went were the the ones who looked like men. Young Whittaker at centre forward was very good. He's a very stylish, skilful footballer and even though he is a small man he shyed away from nothing. He definitely has an inter county future ahead of him. Tubberclaire looked well organised and despite losing both manager and player to red cards in the first half they never panicked and set up very well. They will fancy their chances the next day against and I wouldn't rule them out getting to a final. Castledaly look like a stale outfit that never got going. I don't know what they need to do to freshen things up but when you look at their team on paper you are never expecting them to lose a game the way they did yesterday. The service into Lorcan Dolan was limited and their answer to that was to move him out half forward and it didn't work. The longer they stay in Intermediate I feel the harder they are going to find to get out of it

Surprise win for GCastle in the junior over St Josephs at the weekend. Was anyone at the game? Temple56 (Westmeath) - Posts: 560 - 12/09/2022 10:25:47 2440382 Link 0 |

Garrycastle had a mix of young and old. The likes of Ciaran O'Neill and John O'Brien have soldiered for a while but they had a few young lads (Redmond, Donegan and Ruane brothers) as well as several around the 30 mark. They had a great start and led by 0-8 to 0-1 after 20 minutes. Joseph's got a couple of points back before half time and then dominated the third quarter to level at 0-8 each, and had all the momentum. When Garrycastle lost O'Brien to two yellow cards it looked like Joseph's with the extra man would romp home but they failed to score again and Garrycastle closed out the game. Yeah, The Downs should beat St. Paul's, but at this stage Multyfarnham are still strong favourites.

Don't recall anyone raving about Kinnegad winning a championship on this forum in the last 18 months, based on last few matches not even Jack Cooney would make them contenders. They have a relatively young side but lacking strength and strength in depth. They seem able to trouble The Downs when they meet but their midfield is average and Loman's beat them very easily in last round. Their younger players like the Daly's, Fleming, Torpey, Cooney, Bracken and Cruise need time to develop and they miss the likes of Fergal Dardis, Niall Kilmartin, Ronan Doyle and Eamon Fleming who have recently retired from senior championship.

Great win the Killucan, they really know how to win games. I didn't pay much attention to the comments here about Caulry but I couldn't get over what I seen on Saturday. Their supporters and bench were embarrassing with the jeering and shouting. they need to focus on the football because it feeds on to the players. Two tier 2 teams now through to the semis. can they go any further? highballlowball (Westmeath) - Posts: 13 - 12/09/2022 12:00:31 2440398 Link 0 |

Why not give Killucan some credit instead? They have six or seven really good young lads mixed in with the experience of the Boyle's, Greville's and Doyle's (is Ciaran injured?). St Lomans will probably win but they will be no pushovers.

Well said,it probably didnt help Kinnegad that they seemed to have took Killucan for granted

Great to see Killucan reaching Senior semi final considering a large contingent of players are also Raharney or Turin hurlers also. Dual players still prominent in certain clubs it seems. Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 2261 - 12/09/2022 16:32:34 2440442 Link 0 |

Was sitting close enough to both sets of supporters/subs/benches etc and to be honest Tryellspass gave a fair amount of abuse as well as the Caulry crowd-they are no angels when it comes to dishing it out.Seems to be commonplace now at games-im sure the Tubberclaire manager didnt get a red card for being polite!!-was at the Moate v Athlone game in Tubberclaire in group game and the abuse from both benches was off the scale-didnt hear to much about it though on this forum also im sure the Kinnegad crowd were very vocal y/day-they dont like to lose and have some right headbangers following them so lets agree its going on right across all clubs-its a tribal thing afterall!!

Respected ?? Maybe back in the day but now one of the most disliked clubs around. That doesnt sound nice but its the truth. Have you been in ice-olation ? Take a read through this forum over the last number if weeks and you will know what the county thinks about the club. Manager going ape s**** at the referee on the line, supporters Baylin for blood and the odd appeal going in after a loss . Take your beatings and get on with it like other clubs . There is an ole saying "you cant have your cake and eat it".

Haha reading between the lines of your recent posts you are obviously a keen Moate follower so its fair game for you to bash your local rivals at every oppurtunity-fair play to you.!!
