Decent performance today.We now move on to play Offaly in the quarter final.Cathal Scally did well in goal with the full back line solid.Alan Mcgrath did well with Boyle and Cassidy in the half backs.Flynn from Pollard was a revelation at center forward and Anthony Price excellent up front.Barry O Meara and Phil Reilly can do alot better than this and I suspect Nipper will be 100% in 2 weeks.

celticbhoy seems to know it all about the min or team 2 surely these boys are a team of world beaters aswell building themselves up for a huge fall against a team such as offaly

The latter part of your name does seem appropriate.This Westmeath minor hurling team are decent if notWorldbeaters and will enter the quarter final as long shot outsiders against offaly but with hope nevertheless.A hope that should be supported by all Westmeath GAA supporters which you are NOT

i thought ye learned yer lesson. it started with the seniors, they lost, then u-21's, they lost and the minors will lose aswel. the few dual players should concentrate on the gaelic. hopefully the older lads have learned!

jobber who are u to tell me my name is inappropriate? if uthink ur hard enough u can have a go

Offaly will be a huge step up. but that is why the young lads train and want to play for westmeath.

longwayfrmhome, would u listen 2 yourself. ur funny really. the only reason you will be home is to see the delaney cup coming home in july. as for the christy ring, haha!! carlow have there name on it.. we should urge the likes of smith, jordan, greville and shaw to switch codes. where they can show their true ability!!

TheWinner! This is great, we win the Delaney Cup once, 5 years, ago, and all of a sudden its coming "home" in July. So, you're backing Dublin again I take it? Save bet I must say. They take it as a given having won it 4 times in a row. They want the All Ireland, but will find it hard coming out of a 2nd rate province like Leinster.

kingofthetramps you are some lad. Picking a fight with one poster and then pointing out grammatical errors on anothers post. Whatever you do, don't leave this message board as you have me in stitches with your angry little terrier attitude. Maybe try some Yoga or Green Tea, I hear they are great for dropping your stress levels.

As regards the Minor hurlers I wish you all the best in your next match against Offaly

Thanks for picking up on that king. Its amazing what the mind will do when your in a rush trying to sneak a quick comment in while busy at work. Its a pity you didn't notice my other grammatical error???????

What01 (Westmeath) - Posts: 67 - 06/05/2009 19:09:56    276578

well if leinster is 2nd rate and our hurlers arent deemed strong enough for it, what rate are they at? u justed backed us up without knowin it. good man!!

Wow isnt our appropraitely named little Killucan junior player the smart one.So he and the incredibly badly named "winner" think that because Killucan (really the Ratharney hurlers )show how useless the standard of football is in the county Jordan,Shaw and co should join Flathertys expensive sinking ship ha ha ha.
Our hurlers may be finding things abit rough with all their injuries but will have spirit I wonder will the spoilt ones show any.
The real reason these poor idiots are so concerned at knocking hurling is they are sick with worry that all the excellent dual players from u 16 down seem to be giving the Worlds greatest sport their first choice.Being from Killucan they know and realise they will always be the second sport in the area and are therefore sad bitter people
