Replying To A_Chairde:  "Exactly , Who could begrudge the Gaels finally getting their hands on the Cup after the heartbreak of losing three in a row. Castletown , Raharney and Clonkill have shared the title since Pollard won it in 05. Its good to see the dominance of the usual suspects broken."
Good to see the gaels get over the line. It was a poor match but they wont mind. Still think Castletown are the best club side when they have all their players fit. Too many injuries this year. Its still going to be a 3 way split for at least a couple of more seasons ie one of Gaels, Raharney or Castletown.

Thats the rumours i am hearing. I think its a bad move as the senior B and Intermediate in my opinion are improving standards and crowds.I think Plunketts are well fit to stay up next year and maybe rattle a few cages.

They need to leave it as it is, works perfectly fine.

Not a good post from my position. Wins for LLG Plunket's and Turin is a major positive from any hurling standpoint. Hard to know why anyone could benefits from a negative prospective.Your outlook has the same old cheerleaders

Lost the dressing room. That's normally the only reason for a full clearance of a back room team. Happened with both clubs in Offaly. Unfortunately for Westmeath if this is the case you could have a long road back similar to ourselves
