Thanks for that. There is a good spread of clubs with players represented. Very interesting that there is nobody from either Mullingar Shamrocks or Garrycastle on the panel especially being two strong clubs from the two big towns. A sign the rural clubs are making gains at underage maybe?

Division 1 football league results today Kinnegad 2:5 rosemount 0:05 Garrycastle 2:17 milltown 0:04 The downs 4:13 shamrocks 0:11 Shandonagh 3:10 Lomans 0:09 Tang vs castledaly called off Early days obviously but 3 teams winning by double digits with shandonaghs win the standout. The downs and garrycastle also racking up big scores . is this sort of a beating to start of the downfall of mullingar shamrocks as you'd imagine they have choice of everyone even this early in the year with no involvements in inter county teams.

Lost to Louth by two points. That's disappointing considering our good start to the league. From following online it appears Heslin was our main threat. Anyone at the game any report? mintyfresh (Westmeath) - Posts: 211 - 27/02/2022 15:40:15 2402705 Link 0 |

Was at the game. Disappointing to come away empty handed. Our 2nd half performance let us down (we were with the wind 2nd half surprisingly). That said , we still could have nicked it had we not made a few silly errors. The ref didn't help Lakecounty94 (Westmeath) - Posts: 58 - 27/02/2022 16:22:13 2402735 Link 0 |

Heslin I believe kicked 1-12 the goal came from a shot at a point but dropped under the crossbar

The team scored 1 13 John heslin scored 1 10. That tells its own story. We are not clinical enough. The limerick game is now a vital one. The draw between antrim and Laois helped us but we cannot afford any more slip ups

Disappointing result and display. Heslin and McCartan the standout performers, Heslin scored 1-10 with at least 1-3 from play. Young McCartan scored two quality points, we had chances to equalise in injury time but took wrong options. Sam Duncan started at midfield and worked very hard, Lorcan Dolan could start on Saturday vs Longford as our forwards didn't click with one obvious exception, group finely poised now with little room for error. Level of Westmeath support was very poor, usual followers but pretty dismal. Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 1490 - 27/02/2022 20:33:06 2402822 Link 0 |

Don't think the Longford game has been rearranged? I think we need to look at some other options at midfield. Be good to try someone else to partner Duncan who did well again today. Was always going to be tough away to Louth but we ultimately deserved to lose with all them wides in the first half. Luke tried very hard today; but he will have better days in the maroon and white jersey. Heslin was outstanding today.

I say try Lynam or fola in the middle with Duncan and push connellan into wing forward instead of lynch. Lynch doesn't do anything wrong but In saying that he does nothing to impact the game but to run around and has been doing this his whole career not sure how he gets away with it Kieran Martin would even be a better option there because at least he has a bit of football in him

Longford match is a must win as we have bigger games away to Limerick and Antrim in the last three rounds. Ten points may be sufficient to earn promotion, eleven definitely secure it. Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 1490 - 27/02/2022 21:29:45 2402844 Link 0 |

Longford game confirmed for this Sat 2pm in Cusack Park. A lot of club matches fixed for 3pm so presume these will be re-jigged. Table as it stands: BigSur (Westmeath) - Posts: 1130 - 28/02/2022 11:21:05 2402907 Link 0 |

I don't want to burst any teams bubble but you can't read into double digit wins at this time of year .. Lomans played pretty much their division 3 team against Shandonagh.. they had 4/5 regular starters at a push.. they're not even back training yet. Again, not bursting bubbles, but just might give to context to the weekend score lines is all.

Was different when championship was starting in April or May. But with a July (I think?) start, the year is too long to be going full tempo in February. Most teams that lined out won't bear any resemblance to first round of championship.

Yes, heard Lomans havent even trained at all yet ,just turning up and playing League games . They have 6 lads with WM senior ,two with WM 20's ,Regan with hurlers ,Flanagan away with army . Fella told me v Garrycastle they had 5 lads that started the county final and three 18year olds on the field ,and against Shandonagh they were similar and brought on two 17yr olds in the second half.

Seems a bit unnessesary to be running the leagues now when they have until July to finish it. Assume league is due to finish in early May and then a couple of months break until championship in July?

League finals are in June so that necessitates leagues starting in mid February. Nine league rounds plus lots of dual players at club level so five hurling rounds to be also accommodated. Weather has been exceptionally good since Dec with the exception of last weekend. Pitches are in good order so why not play games. The Chick's source has an in-depth knowledge of Loman's!!!

It actually seems that the league will run right up until the championship in July… after next weekends round of games there will be a league game every second week, with a league final finishing the competition out at the beginning of July.
