In fairness with the split season now. And our championship format (basically a league before knock out) The league is and should be for non county players or at the very least not held up for county player involvement. There needs to be something out there on a consistent basis for the non county man. If this means Lomans, Killucan, Malachys or whoever need to be in div 2,3,4 to be competitive then so be it. It helps build squads etc. and the championship will still be won by the best team

Im sure they will have Danny Mc Cartan and Geoghegan available for some league matches and Fola and Kelvin Reilly tocome back in . So then theres Daly , Sam, O Toole, Hes and Dempsey with county and Regan with hurlers. Whos the rest? Foy played first round against Moate which leads me to believe hes no longer with Longford . TJ played also . Lomans always have this burden for the league. Maybe their strength in depth isnt what it was. The Downs areprobably missing as many county, injuries etc. Caulry feeling the pinch too . They were hammered by Miltownpass.

Athlone don't have a 3rd team, Garrycastle's 3rd team are in Div 6.No fixtures for div 6 yet. The fact of the matter is Lomans arent good enough anymore to have 3 teams in the top 4 divisions. They do not have the strength in depth anymore. League football is played without county players. Which means high level junior players will have to fill the gaps. Lomans should be putting all their enough into Div 1 and allowing young players get the experience needed to play Div 3/4. As another user has pointed out Killucan have been in Div 3 for the last 8-10 years in the league this is because of them having many county hurlers. Why should we change the league now because Lomans are struggling?? Temple56 (Westmeath) - Posts: 521 - 23/02/2023 15:13:42 2459904 Link 1 |

saturday evening very important game mickcunningham (Westmeath) - Posts: 1879 - 24/02/2023 08:38:54 2459948 Link 0 |

Very important and tough away game, winners have great chance of promotion. Hopefully dessie has a fully fit panel. Westmeath need to start a bit stronger than this league campaign has shown. Bench made a big difference last day against offaly which is exactly what's needed. Hopefully Wallace is back this week

If Wallace is fit he has to play but who makes way from last sundays starting line up? Bruno@1 (Westmeath) - Posts: 218 - 24/02/2023 13:08:41 2460000 Link 0 |

Wallace, if fit will start, few lads went off last week, possible injured and few came on. KM might not have a full game in him so better to finish a game.

You'd imagine Jack Smith will make way. Didn't look good he went off so early last week and probably rushed back from his injury. Hopefully he's not out for too much longer. He played well in the half back line and was a good option going forward before going off

Possible daly, scahill, maguire, dolan, mccartan, Wallace,harte, connellan, Duncan, mccormack, otoole, Baker, luke, heslin, dolan..Lynch and Smith both went off before or at half time so presumably injured. Strong bench aswell Upforthegame23 (Westmeath) - Posts: 117 - 25/02/2023 09:24:25 2460083 Link 0 |

That's a nonsense post from someone who obviously wasn't there. We played our best football since Tailteann final for 48-49 mins, John Heslin was superb, Down supporters were increasingly frustrated and we deservedly led by 6, penalty completely changed the game's momentum, Down sniffed an opportunity for 2 unlikely points and we failed to score in last 27 mins. Our kickouts proved a real problem in closing stages. Big blow to promotion hopes as we can only get 10 points max. Have to hope that Cavan beat Down although the head to head result tonight might also prevent us getting up. Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 1967 - 25/02/2023 19:59:16 2460141 Link 1 |
