Replying To RenegadeMaster: "Pitchside.ie posts team sheets, results and full details of select matches.
It is a trial run and it is only for the Westmeath intermediate hurling & Westmeath junior football championships
The difference from other apps/websites out there is the players can create their own profile and the admin adds the players to the team sheets.
It's got good take up from a few teams and the profiles are interesting to say the least.
It will have full details of the upcoming intermediate hurling semi finals this weekend for example.
Updates are also available on it's instagram page "PitchSideProgram" but all content is on PitchSide.ie" As far as I know this happened last year & a lot of clubs didnt send in their teams.

Replying To PowellJohn3: "Yeah more on form in my eyes, do i think shandonagh, malachys and milltown would beat tpass or Tang this year, yes i would, called power rankings nothing to do with previous years" That's fair enough, we will agree to disagree! A case could be made for this year's intermediate winners but not enough to back up anyone else for me.

Actually never knew about this, dont think it was advertised anywhere. Wouldn't agree with the onus being on the players to make their own profile, how many would be willing to do that realistically.

The idea behind it is profiles/headshot are only available on county final day on the physical match program.
The profiles are submitted ahead of the game to populate. There isn't much personality involved compared to the 1 pager the main man gets. Aim is to get everyone's name out there.
Because PitchSide is online, is available all season long and can hold more information than a condensed final day program it gives an interactive program all year long.
Bit more crack to be had compared to the usual program !
Not much can be done though if teams are not made available bar populating them after the game & completely optional for the players to sign up.

Replying To JoxerDaly: "St Lomans v The Downs should be a cracking final. Best 2 teams in Westmeath over the last few years. Lomans were in 10 finals in a row from 2013-2024, winning 7 and losing 1 each to The Downs, Shamrocks & Garrycastle. The Downs are now in their 3rd final in a row, and 4th in 5 years, beating Coralstown-Kinnegad in 2025, and losing to Lomans after a replay, extra time and penalties in 2024. I'd say The Downs owe Lomans a beating for the loss in 2024. Game in the group stages was a draw. There is very little between the 2 sides. Are Lomans peaking at the right time or is it just their guile to grind out results? Both sides are unbeaten this year - The Downs have 4 wins and 2 draws - Lomans have 3 wins and 4 draws. It's more than Heslin v Luke. Lomans have the additional quarter final game v Tubberclair under their belt, plus a Kinnegad collapse in the semifinal. The Downs won't have learned much about themselves in the semifinal v Moate, no contest, didn't get out of second gear. Verdict: Lomans guile and Heslin's 2 pointer threat gives them slight advantage over The Downs pace, power and Luke." Should be a cracking final but all depends on the man in charge as the bunch we have are having too much influence on games
