Any thoughts on Junior 1 final? Will St Josephs finally get over the line or are The Downs just too strong?
Hard one to call.

Do Joseph's go up Intermediate automatically as downs are a second team? Im assuming Joseph's will be our representative in Leinster either way...

The Downs second team would go up to intermediate if they win, as their first team plays in the senior championship there would be no collision to prevent them from going up. St Joseph's are already confirmed as the Westmeath reps in the Leinster Junior football championship and will play the winners of Curraha (Meath) and Ballymore (Longford) in the quarter final. Ballymore actually lost their junior final but Clonguish B beat them so can't go on and represent in Leinster.

Second teams can't play in Leinster but they can play in Intermediate in Westmeath so The Downs could win Junior 1 and not play in Leinster but still play Intermediate level in 2027

If Shandoangh win at the weekend, Can Will Scahill play in the Leinster campaign? I have heard he can as some counties allow u18s play to play.

Yes, as far as I'm aware the rule for Leinster is u18s can play, its only a by law in Westmeath that stops them. Same thing applies if teams enter the Leinster league at the start of the year
