He's not the first county player to get "dogs abuse" from players and supporters, and he won't be the last. But he should be well used to it at this stage and maybe he ought to be able to handle it better.

Caulry made a strong statement yesterday, that they are well able to mix it with the best. Icehouse (Westmeath) - Posts: 79 - 17/10/2021 13:47:55 2385901 Link 1 |

I'm not sure if it was Shamrocks were very poor or Garrycastle were v good. Bettyboo22 (Westmeath) - Posts: 108 - 17/10/2021 17:33:56 2385926 Link 0 |

Bit of both I think. Shamrocks looked satisfied with qualifying for quarter final and their fitness levels were nowhere near the required standard. Definitely Garrycastle's best performance of the season, a confidence booster for them considering they had only one win out of five before today. They have lost two championship matches in the past 12 months to The Downs, both by the minimum margin so revenge will be on their minds. The Downs will be very wary, Garrycastle have no hurling distractions obviously while The Downs have at least five starters whose focus this week will be on Clonkill's semi final vs Castletown.

If a player is being booed when taking a free, and scores, in my opinions he's entitled to reply to the goading crowd, be it John Heslin, Ger Egan or any other free taker! If your going to dish it out from the stand suck it up if they put it back to you! Before I'm accused of being biased in the group game between Lomans and Garrycastle Alex Gardiner was booed whilst kicking a free, it's completely disrespectful!

Garrycastle looked very good but Shamrocks were woeful. Just 2 scorers I think in Moore and Corroon,5 points from play and 8 in total (4 in each half). They will be happy to have got into group 1 and stay senior for another 2 years after having a very close call v Shandonagh. Had very little on the bench to bring on and Fagan's substitution looked strange as he was one of the few having a go. Such a poor display will leave a sour taste, will be interesting to see if Sheedy stays on. BigSur (Westmeath) - Posts: 1129 - 17/10/2021 20:38:51 2385963 Link 1 |

ye Garrycastle will be fired up for it tbh they hadn't been playing great up until today I would of thought The Downs would beat them but after today it's hard to kno as u said no hurling distraction.

Were you at the game ,i was sitting beside the Caulry subs. Every Lomans free ,kickout etc was met with "how long" ,"throw it up ". Once a Lomans player recieved the ball and started to move forward "steps steps" was shouted. When it stopped the manager flapped his arms at the standing encouraging them to be more vocal. Having said that to be fair to them there was no bad languague or abusive stuff , just everything to put Lomans off

Very hard to say if Garrycastle were very good but they did what they had to do and finished Shamrocks with ease. Shamrocks are lucky they got out of the group as it keeps them out of a relegation battle next year. Will be a massive battle between The Downs and Garrycastle the next day. Experience vs Youth If kinnegad can play like Caurly did on Saturday they have a massive chance against St Lomans the next day Temple56 (Westmeath) - Posts: 385 - 18/10/2021 09:33:50 2386002 Link 1 |

Shamrocks looked poor yesterday and found it difficult to kick basic points. I see they were easily beaten by Moate and Caulry so in reality they were not top 2 in D2. Mid table standard. Moate and Caulry were the 2 best teams there and Moate should of qualified before Shamrocks as they beat them. Captainfantastic (Westmeath) - Posts: 44 - 18/10/2021 09:51:01 2386006 Link 1 |

Yes Shamrocks very poor yesterday. Fitness was clearly lacking, the second half was all Garrycastle. Shamrocks need an injection of young legs and the addition of a scoring forward or two. Not worth bringing in an outside manager when an internal rebuilding job is required in my opinion. Baldy1 (Westmeath) - Posts: 84 - 18/10/2021 13:51:10 2386078 Link 1 |

Yes Lomans Garrycastle final….I think Garrycastle can do it this year as Lomans not firing . Baldy1 (Westmeath) - Posts: 84 - 18/10/2021 13:53:39 2386079 Link 1 |

So ye are ruling out The Downs who beat Garrycastle last year in quarter final and this year in group stage ? How about Downs Kinnegad final ? Now that would be interesting but unlikely I accept. BigSur (Westmeath) - Posts: 1129 - 18/10/2021 19:13:00 2386152 Link 1 |

it is Lovely to see Clubs like Caulry , the Downs and Kinnegad that their players have played from underage all the way up to Senior doing well .

Not really how it works im afraid. Killucan beat Moate yet were hammered by Shamrocks. Shamrocks were there on merit but wont last long in the top tier.

Yes, it's nice to see, Bettyboo, but this is not at all unusual. For instance, since 2001 Garrycastle won six of their eight county titles with completely home-grown panels, as well as their Leinster title in 2011. I may be mistaken, but I think Tyrrellspass, The Downs and maybe others have also won senior championships this century with completely home-grown panels.
