Replying To PowellJohn3: "Controversial one but which team benefits the most in westmeath from not having Parish Rule, i hear a lot of this when a team wins a championship and then there is an awful lot of over and back on it, but an interesting topic all the same. My club i know has roughly 2 lads whos outside the parish but entire family are from the parish so it was never really disputed or talked about much. I know towns are a free for all that makes sense." A Loughnavalley man wo several senior championships for Lomans.

Replying To Claretandblue: "Knockbeg College unquestionably the biggest side physically I've ever seen in Colleges football. They had lads 6' 4 at 6, 8, 9 and 14 and lots of other physically imposing players in other positions. Moate played really well to combat that disadvantage, young Tooher kicked 3-4 two pointers, Anthony King Carroll, Billy Stenson, Alex Mullen Adamson, Harry Hughes all very decent for Peter Tormey and Niall Daly's side. Knockbeg will be a tough nut for any side considering this competition is played in mainly winter conditions. St. Pat's Navan considered competition favourites based on Junior two years ago, their display on Tuesday was obviously impressive as Rochfortbridge have fine players in Dean Kelly, Jack Duignan, Cian Fleming, Cian McKeogh, McGuaran and lads from Rhode and Clonard." The Pats Navans teams of the 2000s were the biggest I have ever seen. The Sheridans and O'Rourkes used to lord it.

Westmeath is unique in having separate football club and hurling clubs across the county
Only one dual club and even that club is split into two
Maybe it's to do with how sparsely populated rural Westmeath was back in the 30s and 40s due to the big estates
Anyway, the lack of a parish rule definitely benefits the big clubs in both football and hurling

I wonder can Cusack Park pitch handle the two games tomorrow with the rain that's falling today. Is there a contingency plan?

Replying To keepinaneye: "A Loughnavalley man wo several senior championships for Lomans." Always about us, no mention of the Delvin from the downs or the Bal lad from shamrocks. Parish rule is nonsense, why are we even discussing it
