Delighted to see Seanan Baker back on a pitch again-another young lad who has had his fair share of injuries

Replying To Meridian:  "Apart from a few positional differences you nearly had it Mick. One big change though is Danny McC was left out in favour of Senan Baker. I don't agree with that change but there you go. Other will agree with it.

I have nothing personal against Senan Baker but for me he just hasn't been doing it for Westmeath at this level and I am very surprised he is back in. I hope he proves me wrong."
Its touch and go with mattie whittaker. I'm led to believe he was named for the match programme

An absolute massive opportunity for Senan. He is good enough and it's up to him to take this chance. A very young full forward line. Hopefully Matty is fit enough to start and play the full match.
Very tough to be facing Kildare without Luke, Lynam & Sam Smyth. All starters obviously if fit.

I hope to see a packed Westmeath crowd in O'Connor Park to drive on the lads.

Senan can be mercurial but it's a gamble. Hopefully he lights it up as he is capable of it. It should be tight. If Whitaker is fully fit we can win it. Hopefully we have a great crowd there.
