Replying To Dheen:  "I meant to say promoted. Winning it ahead of Laois with a new team would be a great achievement your right. I just hope Kevin O'Brien is given at least 3 years, there's a lot of quality young players in the panel and even more to come from minor and u20, he should be given the opportunity to build with the aim of maybe winning the Joe Mcdonagh in year 3/4.
Majority of yesterday's team were under 25."
100%. Management should be given three years minimum to make some progress

I think this will depend on results & player buy in. If results go wrong & players lose faith it can all fall apart very quickly as we know from previous years. Hopefully they can get a result in Kerry & push on from there.

CBS Mullingar vs CBS Kilkenny in the A semi final next Wednesday in Portlaoise. Hopefully they will have the good support.

On a positive note, it's great to see all 15 hurling clubs represented on the panel.

Good runout for lot that hadn't played. Think only 4 starters from Walsh Cup game. Won I think by 2 2-27 to 2-25 Dean Ennis and Josh Coll with the goals. Soft goal conceded keeper will be disappointed as his puck outs had been good

Hard luck to CBS in th semi final. It cant be understated how impressive it is what theyve achieved this year. Huge credit must go to the managment who is improving the skills of these already talented hurlers. it can only benefit westmeath going forward competing in A hurling well done all.

Hopefully they can keep playing in A over the next few years. Would be massive for Westmeath hurling!
