3 Caulry men start and Mc Cormack should be there also
Great achievement for a small club despite all the knocks from people.

Very disappointing to be told at 1.22 in Pearse Park that match was postponed. Only game nationally not to be played, small crowd in attendance but Longford GAA should explain why decision was made so late and why an alternative venue wasn't on standby. Westmeath surely had a pitch available

Very disappointing an understatement… told going in the turnstiles that it's being called off… just not good enough

Disappointing that another venue hadn't been earmarked. On the basis of the warm up it looks like there's a decent squad of players available this year for Westmeath.

I'm sure both teams would have preferred to play. Obviously the pitch won't be any better tomorrow so that wasn't an option. I wonder was St Loman's pitch an option for tomorrow? Disappointed also to drive and be told it was called off 10 minutes before throw in.
