Hard to see past CTG, they are hurling at a different level to everyone else, didn't even look weaker when they introduced subs towards the end, 6-26 is some scoring they seem to hit 20+ every game Dheen (Westmeath) - Posts: 1045 - 17/08/2025 19:29:14 2632311 Link 0 |

Dalton's must have had some half time talk. They were 9-10 down at half time according to social media and won by 6. What happened Clonkill? Were they missing anyone? Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 2327 - 17/08/2025 19:53:21 2632327 Link 0 |

Every sub CTG bring on has hurled county U20 or minor They have a serious set of players. Which isn't surprising considering they probably have a quarter of the county to get underage players from valley84 (Westmeath) - Posts: 1907 - 17/08/2025 20:00:52 2632329 Link 0 |

Inter county hurling in Westmeath is in deep sh1t. It's not CTGs fault they were awesome again today against Clonkill game over again after 10 mins. You can only beat what's in front of you, it looks like barring a disaster a CTG v LLGs final. Luke Loughlin spend as much time banging his hurlers in frustration as he did hurling with it. The sending offs for clonkill had no bearing on the game it was over as a contest after 15mins. Why can anyone tell me was David o Reilly started he was subbed off after scoring a goal in the second half, he was yielding to his left shoulder after getting a knock. It's great for CTG but the county board would want to start planning 10 yrs ahead and start putting resources into club underage hurling or we will end up like Carlow with maybe four proper senior clubs. And congrats to daltons on their win against pollard today. 2maroonjerseys (Galway) - Posts: 106 - 17/08/2025 21:35:53 2632344 Link 0 |

Agree! You could nearly just have the CTG team represent Westmeath hurling.

What does that mean in practical terms? It's fine using phrases like putting resources in but how exactly? Who pays? Is every club going to receive the same? Are we talking GPOs because hurling ones are impossible to recruit. Our traditional hurling population has decreased significantly in last 15-20 years, youngsters have a lot more choice in terms of rugby, soccer, golf, other sports. Hurling is not a simple game to pick up especially if your parents never hurled. Results at the weekend are worrying but what needs to happen?

CTG panel has players from following football clubs. St Malachys,Rosemount,Tyrrellspass,St Joseph's at the moment. Often have players from Loughnavalley,Kilbeggan Shamrocks and Ballinagore so that is catchment area of 7 football clubs. Not really all from Castletown direct catchment area is it? Were a new hurling club to set up in say Kilbeggan-Streamstown-Rosemount catchment area then th CTG panel would be well shorn of numbers.

Worrying times for clonkill have never seen them with so little fight not something you'd associate with them. They went with the old guard of dowdalls and murtagh for too long without blooding new players and its showing ill effects now. CTG full credit for their win will be hard stopped.

I see O'Brien has his backroom team in place, Ollie Baker, Damien Coleman and Brendan Murtagh are the main ones. stonemadbeany (USA) - Posts: 622 - 18/08/2025 10:24:18 2632409 Link 0 |

Crystal ball is needed, unfortunately there's no quick fix. While we're a dual county it affects us a lot more than cork or other counties. You've more pure football or hurling clubs in these counties. As the man said you can't ride two horses in a race.

The county is lacking proper dual clubs that don't pull in opposite directions in terms of player recruiting, coaches, facilities development, support and volunteers admin. valley84 (Westmeath) - Posts: 1907 - 18/08/2025 14:16:12 2632480 Link 0 |
