Best of luck to management and all squad today in Ennis-big game for Westmeath and a win would be huge especially after Down getting that last second winner in Limerick yesterday.Next game up is away to Down so it would be great heading to Newry level on points.But todays game first -it wont be easy but we are on a winning run so hopefully the lads can do the business.

Huge game for the footballers today. We will have a job on our hands to keep the likes of McInerney and Clearly quiet. I reckon it will be a high scoring affair, hopefully we can take our goal chances if they come our way. Clare are a seasoned outfit and will be aiming to be in the mix for promotion. A draw would be a good result for us I reckon.

The Banner are poor outfit. Could be good chance for Westmeath to boost the score difference. Eoin J Jordan from Athlone might get a run today. Had as good club championship with John Conlon up front.

Super result today in Ennis, which I wasn't confident of. We now go to down level on points and we owe them a beating from last year

Good win today for the lads in Ennis. Good individual performances throughout the field. Down will be a different kettle of fish though.

A super win today. A very workman performance in the second half when it was needed. Again; McHugh showed he will make changes early if a player is not performing. TJ Cox got two very nice points when introduced. Ray played a lot better today but we did struggle a lot at midfield at times. How we could do with Sam Duncan!! Sam McCartan got some fantastic scores. Tadgh Baker is fitting in so well on the team. Luke had another quiet game but he worked so hard and is a marked man these days. Never easy to win in Ennis so it was great to come away with a deserved win. A big Westmeath crowd also which was good to see!

Great win in a good quality match. Half forward line all superb, Luke was decent, kickouts in terms of retaining possession very poor but a good start to the league. Younger Baker was very prominent in second half

Great result and a much improved performance over last week I felt. We are still struggling at midfield at times and missing a big man or 2 around there I think, they got on top there in the second half but in fairness to our lads, they kept grinding and kept the scoreboard ticking over every time Clare got a 2 pointer. The goals came at crucial times and both well taken. Great performances from Sam, Wally and Luke today as always, also hugely impressed with Tadgh Baker and Kevin O'Sullivan, and thought all the subs made a positive impact.
Great to be talking about winning these close games compared to last year.
4 points on the board and the lads can have no fear going up to Newry in a couple of weeks, we are well capable of a result.

Matthew Whittaker also had a huge game

Great to see us winning close games!

Could do with one more fielder around the middle but we do have Niall Mitchell and Shane Ormsby coming back as possible impacts at kickouts! Shane Allen back in the panel today also good to see! A win next against down would all but see us promoted!

Great win and a much better performance today in Ennis.Thats 5 competitive wins on the bounce-im including tailteann cup games because there was silverware to play for at the end.Winning games is a great habit-look at us last year -we were losing these type of games.We now go to Newry level with Down and all to play for.Our squad-meaning lads coming off the bench are now having a good impact.Once again Sam and Ronan were huge as was Tadgh Baker also TJ Cox was impressive but overall it was a huge team effort and we are in a good place now.
