Jack Cooney insists Westmeath have a lot to work on ahead of the next round of the All-Ireland SFC Qualifiers.

For the third round in-a-row, the Lake County have been drawn at home to Munster opposition in the guise of Colm Collins' Clare. Speaking after last Saturday's six-point win over Limerick, the Westmeath boss stated: “We need to improve on that performance if we have any ambitions to go any further than next weekend.

"We’re realistic about that, but I think that improvement is in us. We’ll work towards that because the lads themselves know they’re probably a little bit better than what they showed in the last 20 or 25 minutes.

“At the start of the second half our second goal arrived and probably what happened to be honest was that lads collectively sat back and said, ‘This is going to happen naturally’ and they just stopped working. That’s something that we’ll address and take plenty of learnings from.”
