In junior 1/4 finals are The downs vs St. Paul's Garrycastle vs bunbrosna St Joseph's vs mullingar shamrocks Multy vs athlone Ballinagore relageted The downs / Paul's / Multy / athlone on same side of draw for semis with the other 4 on opposite side I think I'm right with this but could be wrong ?? Will the likes of athlone shamrocks and garrycastle now suffer with there seniors being knocked out as will be hardly much training done now.

Was at Caulry game with Shamrocks. Caulry should never have drawn, Shamrocks showed great fight and intensity. Denis Corroon on fire at the moment,best player on view. How ref kept playing overtime and giving soft frees to Caulry until they caught up was amazing. Even Caulry people agreed. Two aging town teams now in second tier next season. Be nearly 11 months before Shamrocks have another Championship game. Baldy1 (Westmeath) - Posts: 84 - 29/08/2022 08:16:04 2438958 Link 0 |

Handy path to the final for Lomans anyway. Looking at the games yesterday anything other than a Downs Lomans final would be a major shock. CasKD (Westmeath) - Posts: 38 - 29/08/2022 08:39:28 2438961 Link 0 |

I may be wrong but I don't think 4 go through from the group of clubs with second teams. I think just Garrycastle and The Downs go through and the top two from the other group go to semi final.

None of those second teams are that strong this year anyway. Athlone couldn't even field for their last game.

Yep , you're wrong alright. 4 go through from each group.

Fair to say second teams of senior clubs have little chance here of winning championship. Big surprise was Loman's faring so badly in their section while Athlone failed to field last weekend. The Downs prob the strongest senior outfit at this level but they've used easily 24-25 players in senior championship and look weaker than last few years. Multy and Joseph's look ahead of rest.

Was at the game too and serious questions need to be asked how he played so much injury time. Caulry's last two free were up there with the softest frees I have ever seen in a senior game. Fair play to Caulry for not giving up. 2 years in a row they have kicked injury time score to make the knockout stages. Temple56 (Westmeath) - Posts: 386 - 29/08/2022 12:16:53 2439007 Link 0 |

I was at the 2 games in Cusack yesterday. Athlone wont be happy of Tpass resting Ger Egan as they looked poor without him. Killucan kicked some awful wides in the first half. They improved in the second half and just did enough in the last 10 mins to get the win. Tpass and Caulry will be close. Kinnegad probably wont fear Killucan but Killucan have some great defenders. soreknee (Westmeath) - Posts: 166 - 29/08/2022 12:33:17 2439012 Link 0 |

Athlone chose not to field in their last junior game, they looked at the junior table and felt they were safe for a 4th place spot, they simply conceded their junior game to Mullingar shamrocks and put their focus on their senior side playing on sunday. It'll be discussed at a county board meeting this week, Athlone could well be punished, Lomans might get that 4th spot yet as they beat the leaders Garrycastle in their last game to end up on equal points with Athlone, i see Lomans have a better scoring difference over Athlone too, interesting .....

Choose not to rather than couldn't

I was also at the game and was shocked by the injury time and soft frees. However, more concerning for me was the abuse that Caulry supporters, Team and Managment were shouting. One player for the shamrocks team got a yellow for a non malice tackle. His marker proceeded to constantly push and shove him looking for a retaliation to get him sent off. A bit of argy-bargy is expected. But this was on another level and not what the GAA is about.

And the senior clubs wanted to be put in with the junior clubs? Junior clubs had to avoid tooth and nail to avoid precisely this from happening

Totally agree with you. My view of Caulry people changed yesterday. The abuse from the stand was way over the top. Pressure on the ref was relentless and sad to say it worked. 2mins of injury time ended up at 6 minutes and the last two frees were never frees in my book.

This is nothing new from Caulry . One win out of 5 matches and into a quarter final , they can count themselves lucky .

Athlone pulled the same stroke only a few weeks ago in Div 4, conceding their last league game KooCullen (Westmeath) - Posts: 82 - 29/08/2022 14:33:07 2439034 Link 0 |

Saw most of the T/pass v Killucan game-Ger Egan a huge loss but to be honest(in my opinion) T/pass played like a team who had already qualified and no injuries or over exertion was the order of the day but fair play to Killucan they can only beat whats in front of them and deserved their win.Shamrocks v Caulry was a different affair and hard to believe Shamrocks had no points coming into this game with the way they played and aporoached the game-,to phrase a famous manager (from the other code!!) -they were cheating their manager??Caulry probably deserved their draw for their never say die effort but how Shamrocks managed to keep all 15 on the pitch is beyond me and obviously the ref-they have the art of ****housery of to a tee-the number 11 for Caulry was basically assaulted on and off the ball all game .Denis Coroon was majestic all game and kicked great frees and young Malynn who came on late in the game kicked 4 great frees -the last one from a tight angle for a right footer which levelled the game was top class.But the big question here was-where was this Shamrocks/performance up to this??

You could look at it another way. I'd say fair dues for Shamrocks for going all out for it , even though they were effectively out already. They lost narrowly to Garrycastle. The other 3 teams are much better than them right now. They are middle of the pack in senior now - that's the reality of it.
