Westmeath could become the latest county to find themselves without a sponsor after two businesses owned by Hilamar Hotel proprietor Robert Bagnall went into receivership.

Westmeath GAA officials are monitoring the situation closely and are facing up to the possibility of having to seek a new sponsor, which will be no easy task in the current economic climate. Tweet
