Replying To footiemad: "don't agree nealymdaeit,those players you mentioned are not ready yet for senior intercounty,finbar coyne has it all to prove,had a bad year" Agree footie mad , none of the rochfortbridge players are up to county standard the cullys are to small lyster has the size but very limited eoin gorman is only really a good free taker doesn't like the physical stuff, coyne milltownpass had an ok year but hasn't played a lot of football with his ankles, not a lot of new talent at intermediate level Moorehead (Westmeath) - Posts: 143 - 09/11/2017 17:13:21 2061430 Link

Maybe others have seen him more. Meridian (Westmeath) - Posts: 601 - 10/11/2017 13:21:34 2061599 Link

Surely some of the Kinnegad lads deserve a chance? mushy123 (Westmeath) - Posts: 2 - 10/11/2017 15:49:52 2061634 Link
Replying To mushy123: "Surely some of the Kinnegad lads deserve a chance?" Find it very strange that Kinnegad and the downs will only have 2 or 3 county players possibly on the panel between them. As for Kinnegad which i watched twice this year.Ger Leech and Daren Giles are as good as any in the county. Young James Maxwell was impressive aswell. The same as joe moran from downs. Both just out of minor but showed great running games espes vs Killucan. Didn't seem to mind getting involved with the big boys. Could they push for senior after U20 or even sooner ?Strange that two semi finalists probably won't have a county first 15 again this year. Just shows that westmeath goes by reputation TheDominoEffect (Westmeath) - Posts: 4 - 11/11/2017 19:38:26 2061741 Link
Westmeath Talent. If the Westmeath team had the spirit that St Lomans showed to day they would be back in business. The name of the game is keep going until the final whistle Kuga (Westmeath) - Posts: 52 - 12/11/2017 20:18:58 2061918 Link
Fair play to lomans for pulling this one out of the fire and setting up a semi v Colm O'Rourke's Simonstown in Cusack Park in 2 weeks. Heslin was obviously the man but Paddy Dowdall got the winner ! BigSur (Westmeath) - Posts: 1130 - 12/11/2017 21:19:12 2061941 Link
Hopefully that game will bring them on. Lukes management record would be well ahead of Colm O Rourkes. It's on the pitch that matters though. wonit1time (Westmeath) - Posts: 450 - 13/11/2017 07:59:32 2061985 Link

Great win for Lomans yesterday, had to dog it out and rode their luck for a while. Got the breaks at the right time but an away win against the Longford champions is not to be sniffed at. Leinster wide open now after Rathnew beating Vincents, who saw that coming ?. Great chance for Lomans to reach a Leinster final and possibly win Leinster but all four teams will fancy their chances and rightly so. cantona7 (Westmeath) - Posts: 133 - 13/11/2017 13:48:47 2062074 Link
Ger leech and Giles of Kinegead Whealan,Ronan o toole Lomans Barrett,McCallon Gcastle Reid Athlone Moran Mitchell Loughlin The Downs Damien Carroll Rosemount Nugent Fitzpatrick Dolan Castledaly Be great to see Loughlin in but like others have said can't see them managing him,also love to see Castledaly's Lorcan Dolan given a proper chance both are two of the best scoring forwards in the county at senior level. iarmhi919 (Westmeath) - Posts: 216 - 17/11/2017 21:19:24 2062935 Link
Paddy Dowdall be great for westmeath if he would play football. Loughlin deserves a chance as does conor sleving Tpass. Westmeath21 (Westmeath) - Posts: 14 - 29/11/2017 16:02:49 2064031 Link
Conor slevin is an excellent addition, had a great year with T pass would have liked to see Cathal Dunne brought on for the experience acquitted himself very well this years champion and must be well over 6ft. Also Dean Micnolas has to be an addition if available. Paddyfla19 (Westmeath) - Posts: 114 - 29/11/2017 17:22:48 2064045 Link
Replying To Westmeath21: "Paddy Dowdall be great for westmeath if he would play football. Loughlin deserves a chance as does conor sleving Tpass." Paddy must be 35, he quit county hurling to focus on his clubs, doubt he'd consider county football. stonemadbeany (USA) - Posts: 542 - 02/12/2017 20:51:42 2064285 Link
So is there some sort of squad back? I expect no Lomans lads will be involved yet. Are any players from Multy involved? Matthew (None) - Posts: 1005 - 03/12/2017 12:32:51 2064303 Link

According to the Examiner players called in included Sean Lyster St Mary's, Gareth Carr, Ciaran Shanley and Brian Kavanagh, Shandonagh Nigel Scally Kilbeggan Jack Kearney Ballynacargy No Lomans or Multy at moment.
