Replying To ORIELMAN85:  "It is only June. No reason not to wait 4 or 5 weeks to start Championship."
Exactly, and its the least that can be done for the effort these lads have put in over the last few months.

Replying To Monaghan Exile:  "WM people have to be proud of what their team achieved, & also brilliant supporters. Ye just ran outta steam in the last Qtr. But, onwards & upwards for ye, & a memorable Leinster title in the " back pocket"!"
And the very best wishes to you v Louth and hopefully beyond.
A wonderful atmosphere in Clones one of the best grounds in Ireland.
These players have have given Westmeath a wonderful year and I hope they start the hurling on July 18 and the football a week later which would give these lads a well deserved break and still give the 90% plus club players as someone said all of August,September and October to play in decent conditions.

We'll probably get 2 - 4 nominations and 1 All Star

personally I think Matty Whitaker will win the All - Star with Any of Drumm, Wally, Ray, Sam and Brandon to be nominated also
