Westmeath Football thread

Replying To TheWagonWheel-N91Y529:  "Should Kinnegad really be in the tier 2 of the under20 championship????"

Replying To Temple56:  "Well done to Ronan Wallace! Hard luck to the other three lads as well. It's a massive achievement just to be nominated for an All Star. That said, I did think Wallace deserved it if only one was going to be selected.

Looking in to next season as mentioned its the most exciting year we have had in a long time to long forward too. I know we are a still division 3 team and are not going to be in the All Ireland unless we reach Leinster final but I beleive we have top 8 panel in the country.

55 players named here. Some players might not make themselves available but in my opinion this is the best 55 players in the county by position. Try picking a 26 man panel if everyone was fit would be very hard for McHugh!
Have I missed anyone? I would like to hear everyones opinion.

Replying To BigSur:  "Talk of Ronan O'Toole returning home at the end of the year on a permanent basis so a big boost to club and county.
Danny McCartan surely in the mix too.
Will Scahill's load will be managed between school and U20's. No hurry on him playing senior football.
I hope Niall Mitchell gives the football a go again. Just gives something different.
Lynam and Loughlin will be nursed back gradually I'd say after their return from serious injury.
I think the Iarmhi Abu podcast are doing a team of the year shortly so that will be interesting and might throw up a new name or 2."

Replying To A_Chairde:  "Esker were poor last night , in fairness Esker probably should be in Div 3. Killucan I think beat Esker by an even greater margin. Killucan beat Lilliput in the semi final and Lilliput had beaten Kinnegad but Killucan and Kinnegad would still struggle in Div 1. Where does this leave Garrycastle who were beaten Esker and had to give a walkover , thats worrying for them but they have lost there best players to rugby. St Josephs won a u20 Div 3 title in 2024 on there own and did they compete on there own in the grade last year?"

Replying To Joeynyc:  "O'Toole great addition.
Danny McCartan,not sure how you think he would be in the mix.

Also Whitaker robbed of an all star. Not to begrudge Wallace, but Whittaker is one of the best wing backs in Ireland.

He may never get that chance again.Considering Westmeath would almost certainly have to win Leinster for him to ever win an all star.

B kelly was close, but getting into that inside forward line was Always going to be difficult.
Although without his scoring,They wouldn't have won Leinster. Although there's many lads who performed brilliantly.

McCartan was never going to get one.

A lot of downs supporters blowing about Mitchell.
Let me remind you all, They won Leinster without him.

Predicting they will win D3 next year."

Replying To Jack_Sparrow:  "I think that if we win Division 3 and no other division 3 or 4 side reaches a provincial final then we would play in Sam Maguire.
8 division 1 teams
Top 6 division 2 teams
Wicklow
Division 3 winners."
