Replying To crispsandwich99:  "Thought it was disappointing that Westmeath GAA didn't post the team sheets for the vast majority of the games this weekend. Was something that they have been very good at doing the last couple of years too"
Agreed it's a chance to build on the momentum of the last few months, was looking forward to see what lads were lining out for their clubs and particularly the county lads after their long season. Hopefully it'll return for Round 2.

In fairness most teams dont put up the correct teams so its not as if you are missing something

Replying To Gaawestmeath:  "The groups having 3 come out of each group, even though one is weaker makes no sense but I wouldn't bring league tables into it. Finea and Killucan are two examples over the years of being notoriously bad in the league due to lads on county panels. Tang used to be the other way and were in D1 while being intermediate.
Saying it's a mini junior group is very disrespectful to the teams in it. They are all above junior standard. They might not be at the level of the top few in group A but that's the same in the senior championship too. Tubberclare just won their first game aswell which shows the strength of the competition they won."
Have to stick to my statement it is a mini junior group and that point will be proven at the semi final stage when a team from B meets one of the top 3 teams in group A. Shandonagh missing 2 county lads prob favourites , Milltown look strong , Then its between Malachys and Milltownpass. Interesting that Milltownpass play Malachys next that will decide the third placed team and with Sam Duncan to come , Malachys need to get a result there.

May not be 100% correct teams but it stills gives you an idea of who's playing for their clubs, who might be injured, young players that are been given a chance or lads that may have come back from abroad. Ronan O Toole for example. It's not a huge pile to ask for the team sheets to be put up.
