Team announced for Sunday. Hopefully can get a win and stop the rot and have a promising campaign. Good to see Sam Smyth get a start and a decent bench there too

Hopefully we can with Kildare and Offaly winning yesterday its going to be a very competitive competition this . Bench is key and great to see some under 20s on the bench today . Young Baker a excellent prospect this is the perfect opportunity for these young lads and build for the future. Luke is probably the best player on show in this competition and hopefully we are in with a real chance of winning another Tailteann cup

Luke certainly made a case for your statement, he scored approx 2-13, Stephen Smith, Eoghan McCabe, Joe Moran, Kevin O' Sullivan also excelled plus the usual consistency from Sam Mc and Ronan W, all without Ray Connellan, Brian Guerin and Fionn O' Hara, team looked extremely fit and focused,

Looked like he pulled the hammer. Hopefully not that bad

The performance today would have seen us beat Louth and Meath.
We will win Leinster next year.

Relax kid… Westmeath left at least 4 goals behind today. I thought Sam Smyth had a brilliant debut. Forde did well when he came on also and he is made for summer football. O'Sullivan was fantastic throughout. Hopefully Wallace's injury isn't bad. We badly need to get Senan Baker back to take some pressure of Luke.

Still encouraging to win without Connellan, Lynam, Guerin and O'Hara. Still going to be very hard to win the Tailteann as Kildare will be favourites but Westmeath shouldn't be too far off. Does anyone know if Conor Dillon is injured? Is there any chance of Drumm being back this summer for Westmeath?

Would you reckon Luke would score 1:17 against either Meath or Louth today in croke park which is nearly 4000 sq meters larger than Mullingar in all fairness

Well capable of winning Tailteann and they're definitely focused on that, doubt there's a fitter team in the competition and as previous poster said we have lads well suited to summer football. our forwards especially, the new rules suit the players we have in terms of pace and mobility in the middle third, Sam Mc, Wallace, O' Sullivan, Connellan, Harte, Forde, good to see Sam Smyth involved, very steady defender, Conor Dillon suffered ACL in Kildare game, huge loss to club and county, if we have everyone available we should fear no side.

4,000 sq meters? That's definitely not correct. If you put the goals on the 21m lines at Croke Park, it still wouldn't take 4,000 sq metres off the overall size.
Cusack Park certainly one of the smallest intercounty pitches, but the 2 point arc is the same distance from the goal , no matter how big or small the pitch is.

He might not score 1-17 .Mulroy scored 1-7 he's a shoe in for an all star but for me Luke is better.

Impressive display against Antrim. Was o'hara injured ? If we have a full contingent we have a very good chance of winning the competition.

4000sq meters? What you smokin man? Thats 63m x 63m. Croke park is not that amount bigger than Cusack park. Yes it is one of the shorter and narrower pitches but not by 4000sq meters. 400sq meters perhaps??
