Replying To southmeathgael: "Hes spot on, we are kicking ourselves. Dublin win that game by 10, meath much better then westmeath just caught bad on the day, similar to Donegal and Down. Westmeath deserved it on the day but meath v dublin or louth would have been the proper leinster final" Oh dear. I think you need to give Westmeath a bit more credit.l? That's the problem with Meath, still living on past glories. Scenicparish (Donegal) - Posts: 947 - 17/05/2026 20:20:23 2673655 Link
Replying To royalproxy: "You were lucky you caught Meath on the hop. Dublin will bring you all back to earth shortly" Well done Westmeath. Thoroughly deserved Leinster Title against all the odds silencing a lot of critics on the way...... Scenicparish (Donegal) - Posts: 947 - 17/05/2026 20:23:47 2673656 Link

I think it needs to be said again what a great job the FRC have done with regard to the new rules. It has given football a new lease of life. It's fantastic to see teams like Roscommon and Westmeath fully embrace the "new" game and they have reaped their rewards. I would still have Kerry out in front. But there is a clutch of good teams behind them who would be very confident of taking any team down on their day. The next few weeks are going to be fascinating.

Must be the first time a Division 3 team won the Leinster SFC...makes the Province very competitive! Over in Connaught 3 All Ireland SFC wins in 59yrs all from the same County. katser (Galway) - Posts: 2839 - 18/05/2026 16:40:25 2673943 Link
Replying To bloodandbandage: "Cork, Kerry, Galway and Ros to win this weekend." Can't see Galway winning, they peaked for our game and have gone backwards if anything since then. Gantric (Leitrim) - Posts: 94 - 18/05/2026 16:50:25 2673950 Link
