Replying To TheWagonWheel-N91Y529: "Well done to the three clubs over the weekend. Gaels had a superb year and did Westmeath hurling proud yesterday Any word on who got the cards in Carlow on Saturday? Heard there were four sendings-off overall. Any names Plunketts will need everyone available against the Laois champions and Turin will have their work cut out for them against the Kilkenny champions" Aaron Craig got a straight red. Can't remember the other one for Plunketts but was 2 yellows. All red cards were soft. ACarlowGael (Carlow) - Posts: 68 - 10/11/2026 18:37:05 2699995 Link
Replying To Dheen: "They can only beat who is in front of them, Colaiste Eoin have been regularly strong at this level in years gone by. No Dillon Burke for St Marys today, is he still injured? I thought he would be back." He's finished 6th year. Gone to college. WHfan (Westmeath) - Posts: 3 - 10/11/2026 21:25:57 2700002 Link

Replying To westmeathgaa11: "The two Conor's surely run the show at that level?" If you are experiencing a player or two to run the show I'm afraid you don't have nearly as good a team some on here think. Sloweddie (Kilkenny) - Posts: 42 - 11/11/2026 10:16:22 2700037 Link
Replying To Sloweddie: "If you are experiencing a player or two to run the show I'm afraid you don't have nearly as good a team some on here think." Well your wrong because despite the two lads prowess up front yesterday, a good chunk of scores came from Padraig Monaghan, Hugo Corroon, Aidan Doyle with Eoin McGrath and Luke Dowling doing damage off the bench. Its a strong panel. Having said that there's no disputing that Conor Williams and Conor Raleigh are two of the best hurlers of their age in Leinster. Two or three marquee players with a strong cast.

Replying To Sloweddie: "If you are experiencing a player or two to run the show I'm afraid you don't have nearly as good a team some on here think." So Kerry wouldn't be regarded as a strong Gaelic football side with the two Cliffords seen as their key players? Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 2871 - 11/11/2026 12:22:12 2700059 Link

Could we remind the kilkenny chap to show a bit of manners and to emphasise we are a genuine duel county. For a county who literally play one sport (don't have a football team, no soccer, rugby team of note, boxers, can't think of any other good sports people they've produced apart from their great "hurlers", they've a lot of snide comments towards our county. These colasite mhuire lads will give those kilkenny schools plenty of it, I can guarantee to you that! eamo01 (Westmeath) - Posts: 7 - 11/11/2026 16:23:50 2700102 Link
Replying To Claretandblue: "So Kerry wouldn't be regarded as a strong Gaelic football side with the two Cliffords seen as their key players?" Some difference between exceptional players in a team of class players and on or 2 players running the show. AKA chin in Wexford the latter never results in silverware witch is what the post suggests. Sloweddie (Kilkenny) - Posts: 42 - 11/11/2026 18:42:21 2700122 Link
Johnny Greville and Leo OConnor first couple of names linked with senior job. BigSur (Westmeath) - Posts: 1287 - 11/11/2026 20:12:50 2700132 Link
Great win for CBS Mullingar in the Leinster junior A quarter final vs Good counsel down in Portlaoise. 2-25-4-18 sounded like a cracker. Dheen (Westmeath) - Posts: 1199 - 11/11/2026 21:07:54 2700140 Link

Johnnys statement when stepping down from Meath Inter-county management is a privilege, but it demands a significant commitment that extends far beyond training and match days. Over time, those demands have an impact on family life and personal wellbeing. I believe now is the right time to step away and give greater priority to my family, health and wellbeing. westmeathgaa11 (Westmeath) - Posts: 405 - 12/11/2026 10:40:21 2700169 Link

Evergreen reached the FAI junior cup final this year for example and won leinster junior cup a year ago. We also have players playing in the LOI and other's who have played in the Premier league as well as lower leagues, and have athletes who have represented Ireland at the Olympics in boxing and athletics. For the record Im not standing up for my countyman ,just pointing out that we are not just an exclusively hurling county. And im always happy to see westmeath hurling teams doing well at any level. richiepmurphy (Kilkenny) - Posts: 175 - 12/11/2026 18:03:10 2700224 Link
County manager list already cut down, Johnny Grenville, Adrian Moran both not available, would Leo O'Connor be the right man, or Eddie Brennan? if he'd be interested in the top job. Bigjoe1 (Westmeath) - Posts: 105 - 12/11/2026 18:43:43 2700227 Link
