There's about 8/9 of the u20s with the quality to be a part of the senior panel so I'd imagine Fortune has some of them involved.

Joe Fortune might have no choice but to blood quite a few of the under 20s with a number of established senior players not committing to the squad for 2023-24, can hardly blame them, names I've heard have given great service but prob need a break.

8/9 be a long shot. Oreilly Williams and Clarke will be panellists for senior. I'd be more worried about why the seniors not going in Greenandgoldie (Westmeath) - Posts: 80 - 26/11/2023 20:57:53 2514645 Link 0 |
Don't be coy, who did you hear?

Tbh these young lads will probably be better off sticking with the U20's. Greenandgoldie (Westmeath) - Posts: 80 - 26/11/2023 21:53:27 2514654 Link 0 |
I don't think there's any harm, it needs to be freshened up a bit. A lot of the team have been there for quiet awhile and given great service as you'd rightfully stated. The only issue I'd have with blooding the u20s is that it could affect the u20 team who in my opinion have a great chance of a good run in Leinster next year. Kevin O'Brien will want all his players with him as much as he can. I'd rather they focus on their own age group and give Leinster a good crack, it will stand to us more in the long term. Having said that I'd still expect David Williams, Peter Clarke, Conor Gaffney, David O'Reilly, Rhian Holding and Darragh McCormack to be in around the senior panel for 2024.

i have heard some of those names too and some do need a break and have given massive service.There is one great player and i use that word sparingly who should reconsider as he has given Westmeath supporters so much pleasure over a long time but is apparently leaving for "reasons" to do with stuff that he should rise above for his own legacy to be remembered properly. The likes of us will always remember but. jobber (Westmeath) - Posts: 1313 - 26/11/2023 22:10:54 2514656 Link 0 |
Who are these players?

I have to agree, these lads should stay with the 20's.

Why aren't we putting in a Westmeath schools team at senior level like Offaly and Laois are doing? Dheen (Westmeath) - Posts: 631 - 28/11/2023 12:00:08 2514840 Link 1 |
Brilliant win for Colaiste Mhuire today vs Colaiste Choilm from Tullamore. Missing Jack Duncan and Jack Murtagh through injury but still won by 10 points. Kian Loughlin an excellent keeper, Darragh Smyth, Conor Leech and Conor Heffernan from na Piarsaigh, Mick Weir, Ben McNamee, Sean Hayes and Padraig Casey from Plunketts, trained by Micheal Lawlor, they could win this competition Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 1264 - 28/11/2023 21:46:04 2514944 Link 1 |
