Well done, quality wise it was a poor game like the Connacht final last week but it was exciting. Westmeath are an honest hard working teams but lack that quality that will bother the big teams.

Well, 3 of the Provinces….!
There is an elephant still in the room tbh. ;o)

But great for the GAA that 3 of the 4 provinces are now competitive in football.
And we now seem to have a competitive hurling province in Leinster again, which is great to see.

Thanks for the negative comments. 2 28 is some score in a so called poor game. Many congratulations to mark mchugh and this marvellous group of young man . It was a game that we were in we went behind and could have won in normal time . But in extra time we stood tall . Great displays all over the field. The baker brothers tadgh and senan when he came on were outstanding . To a man everyone ran themselves to a standstill. John heslin justified his inclusion and I hope he remains with the group. It was great to see the heroic ronan Wallace lift the bill delaney cup . Man of the match take your pick because I can't single out any one . Iarmhi abu
