Replying To Bigjoe1:  "When was the last time a Westmeath team beat a KK team in Leinster club championship, if ever??"
Never at senior level although Clonkill defeated the kilkenny intermediate champions in 2007..

Replying To MillerX:  "Brilliant result for Castletown Geo yesterday. Next day? Had Thomastown won by 11 points yesterday they would be favourites to beat Offaly's KK in the semifinal. So it's all to play for and a repeat performance by CTG next day could easily see them through.
It has happened before remember the exploits of Mount Leinster Rangers in 2013 (I think) when they won the Leinster in what was their first year I believe competing in the revised Leinster Senior Championship.
Go on CTG and believe but above all give a repeat performance and above all LEAVE EVERYTHING on the pitch next day."
I think they wil leave 100% and they will have got a major confidence boost.KK will be a diffeent animal maybe not as physical as before so it should be a great game.If Castletown show the same intensity as in their last two games they will be hard bet.But any let up and a return to easy going skilfiul Castletown which Clonkill exploited many times wont do.

Looking at the regional teams, have a lot of players from the senior clubs not committed or is it that the county management are already aware of players playing senior and want to see how the intermediate / senior B players get on playing at a higher level

I'd say the latter, more than likely lads from senior who Management wanted were probably asked directly in. This competition will be a chance for players in Intermediate and senior B

It's quite strange seeing subs on senior B teams being brought in for this competition

Seems like a good initiative but not sure if there's an awful lot to be gained by tonight's game. Looking through the 2 teams there's quite a few who wouldn't make it into the Castletown or Raharney teams never mind a Westmeath county team

There is definitely far better non county hurlers in senior clubs who weren't involved in this today who are surely more worthy of a "Westmeath senior hurling trial"
Castletown: Obviously involved in senior
Raharney: Darren Finn,Devin Hill, David Hickey
Clonkill: Ciaran Nolan, Matthew Glynn
LL: Daire Daly, Dan Higgins, Dan Reilly, Philly Reilly, Jason Malone, Marcus & Aaron Kennedy
Pollard: John McCarthy, Joe Rabbit, Darragh o Reilly, Sean Lancaster
Daltons: No players involved at all it seems??

I see lots of players who don't start for their clubs. Brian Gilchrist & Conor Sheridan don't start for pollard
Seb McPherson & Enda Newman don't start for delvin. Sean Jackson doesn't get played for Castletown which is why he isn't involved with Leinster campaign
Dan Connaughton doesnt start for Cullion
Eoin English doesn't always start for pollard
Robbie Cleary was taken off after 20 minutes in senior semi final

Who was in charge with picking these panels?
