Replying To Fionn:  "Results went as I expected today in the remaining 2x Dublin SFC 1/4 Finals:-

Cuala 1-21 v Skerries 0-19
Thomas Davis 1-16 v Ballymun Kickhams 1-13

Fair play to Skerries who put up a hell of a battle v the Dalkey men. Only a point between the teams at half time but Cuala went 5 ahead early in the 2nd half and held out.
Con top scored with 8pts.

In the other game the scoreline flattered BK tbh.
It was 1-09 to 4pts at HT for TD and the Mun got an injury time goal before the final whistle to put a bit of respectability on the scoreboard.
Deano joint top scored with 8pts.

Semi Finals:-
Castleknock v Thomas Davis
Cuala v Boden.

Two crackers of games lie ahead…!"
Castleknock will be happy enough with that draw I'd be thinking. Would love to see them go all the way.

Brilliant game yesterday. Great players on view. Westmeaths hurling still has plenty of life in it and the time has come for the county manager to out all of these many resources to use. With the talent in the Gaels,Raharney,Clonkill and Castletown allied to the best of the rest its winning Joe Mcdonagh we should be thinking off as the talent is there.

Replying To ColmFlaherty:  "We're 3rd in the roll of honour might be the answer, the same way people say that Tipp and Kilkenny are needed to be strong in hurling for it to succeed"
I still don't get it.

Absolutely superb game yesterday. Anyone watching club hurling in Westmeath can see the standard is there. There are quality players right across the county and enough talent to be seriously challenging for the Joe McDonagh.

There seems to be a huge gap between the potential in the county and what's being delivered. The management setup simply isn't getting enough from the resources at its disposal.

I said before a ball was even struck that this setup looked like the third choice from the four candidates interviewed. Last season only reinforced that view. We were possibly the only county team across the four codes that consistently regressed as the year went on. Instead of seeing improvement, structure and momentum, performances deteriorated.

That's what makes it all the more frustrating. The talent is there, and the club game continues to prove it. The question isn't whether Westmeath has the players to compete for a Joe McDonagh title; it's whether the current management team is capable of getting the best out of them. Based on what we've seen so far, there are serious grounds for doubt.

Replying To Seanfan:  "Why does " football need a string Galway team"?"
What a weird thing to get upset about.
