The Gaels to beat Clonkill in semi, Castletown overall favourites. I'd say Castletown would rather face Clonkill after yesterday, some people left at half time yesterday thinking an eight point lead would easily do Raharney, in fact quite a few left. The Gaels were a force throughout second half, an eight point deficit on a calm day against the champions and yet they gradually clawed their way back. The third Raharney goal with a couple of mins left seemed the clinching score but still The Gaels kept battling. The contrast between both sets of supporters at the final whistle was something else, Raharney supporters couldn't believe that their reign was over, The Gaels supporters jubilant. It's only a round robin game but with massive consequences. Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 1881 - 02/09/2024 16:36:29 2568073 Link 0 |

Personally I think Castletown would rather play the Gaels in a final, when clonkill hit form they have amazing players over the field and I think more balanced than the Gaels, they have more top players that need watching where as the Gaels reliant on a few. clonkill fully deserved their victory against raharney and we're 8 points up themselves, where as no matter how you look at the Gaels v raharney, they were extremely lucky to get the result with 2 injury time goals after being 8/9 down, not taking anything from a good spirited gutsy Gaels performance, I just think clonkill are a more balanced team, and for me the clonkill/raharney game was far superior in quality than that of the raharney and Gaels, will make for a smashing semi final either way, and just to finish, I can't see either of them beating Castletown regardless of who comes through Castletown showed a huge level of ability and desire against all be it a weak pollard side, for me the only team that was going to take Castletown this year was raharney and now they are all but out.

It will be interesting to see how the teams line up in the final round with 2 potentially effective dead rubbers. I'd imagine there could be some shadow boxing in the Gaels clonkill, will both teams field weakened teams or will they go out to lay down a marker ahead of a semi final? westmeathgaa11 (Westmeath) - Posts: 285 - 05/09/2024 09:08:42 2568523 Link 0 |

Could affect the intermediate team if they field weaker teams. But it will be shadow boxing

Clonkill's intermediate team not in contention so it's not a concern. They've used a lot of players outside named 15, at least 25 in total, doing well to simply field at this stage.

I believe two of our managerial candidates were heavily canvassed by our neighbours to take over their senior hurling team LockLeanGayl (Westmeath) - Posts: 257 - 05/09/2024 13:56:25 2568581 Link 0 |

Management proving elusive at all levels it appears.

As previous poster said O' Brien was not interested in meath job. Greville would know Meath scene better so that could be an option but I'd be surprised. It's quiet obvious with what is going on with football selection committee that our boards way of doing things leaves a lot to be desired.

Our new manager will have to navigate through the relegation section of the Cork championship with Charleville before he links up with our lads LockLeanGayl (Westmeath) - Posts: 257 - 08/09/2024 17:23:10 2568949 Link 0 |

Is Greville coaching in Meath already? Pity he couldn't stay within the county. Internal is the way to go if it's an option at all , getting in journey men rarely works.

Great to see cbs Mullingar competing in Leinster A junior hurling and beating Colaiste Eoin of Dublin 4-19-2-12. As always good work going on in the school. Dheen (Westmeath) - Posts: 922 - 11/09/2024 22:57:18 2569473 Link 2 |

This was mentioned by earlier poster as a possibility. In fairness to Meath they approached our two best internal lads and got one of them. Meath definitely the winners with this appointment. He'd been selector for 5 years with seniors here and U20 Manager... Probably couldn't have done much more. Good luck to him

Poor decision not to give him the Westmeath job by our county chairman
