Looks more like the other draw posts are "sponsored" ie paid for, and ours isn't.

Yeah where's the extended roof we were promised for Cusack park in 2014 that was supposed to cover the entire stand side with a new commentary box and was meant to be completed by 2016??

Shocker in Garrycastle tonight. Everybody in the stand had lomans won by 2 except for the referee who had garrycastle by a point Bluelake (Westmeath) - Posts: 250 - 29/04/2025 21:30:37 2605529 Link 0 |

Westmeath Division 1 Table - After Last Night's Results Pos Pts 1 Kinnegad 12 2 Mullingar Shamrocks 9 3 Garrycastle G.A.A. 8 4 Moate All Whites 8 5 The Downs 8 6 Caulry 6 7 St Loman's 5 8 Shandonagh GAA 4 9 Athlone 2 10 Tyrrellspass GAA 2 Two teams will be relegated to Division 2 for the 2026 season, and the battle to avoid the drop is heating up. St Loman's are hovering dangerously above the bottom, but with only two games left, they'll need points fast. Remaining Fixtures for Teams in Relegation Danger: St Loman's Mullingar: Caulry, Moate Shandonagh: Garrycastle, Athlone, Kinnegad Athlone: Shamrocks, Shandonagh, Tyrrellspass Tyrrellspass: Caulry, Athlone, The Downs Plenty of twists still to come, with several relegation six-pointers ahead. BlueLake, could your beloved Loman's really be heading for Division 2 football in 2026? Temple56 (Westmeath) - Posts: 548 - 30/04/2025 10:39:52 2605602 Link 0 |

Potentially. However, they did actually win that match last night and would be safe so I find it hard to be critical

Also well done to our under 20's last night. I know it was pre planned but it's strange to have a full round of league fixtures the same night as Westmeath in an under 20 final. Even if it's a secondary competition and we won it last year, we don't win much Bluelake (Westmeath) - Posts: 250 - 30/04/2025 12:35:30 2605648 Link 1 |

Anyone recommend any good cheap hostels near McGovern Park in London. Fighting-Cocks69 (Westmeath) - Posts: 78 - 30/04/2025 13:54:27 2605677 Link 1 |

Decent draw, home to Antrim, away to London and neutral venue vs Limerick, probably likely to be Portlaoise? iarmhi_an_mhaith (Westmeath) - Posts: 279 - 30/04/2025 17:28:12 2605800 Link 2 |

I see the official result on the Westmeath website has Lomans winning by 2 so seems the referee must have got it right after.

Sympathies to the family and all in Killucan/Raharney on the passing of Stephen 'Busby' Gorman. A truly passionate club man and Westmeath supporter may his soul rest in peace. Chops (Westmeath) - Posts: 812 - 01/05/2025 10:38:51 2605954 Link 2 |

Very strange. Heard from a Garrycastle person they were told in injury time by the ref they were 4 points ahead. They tried to hold on for the win, Lomans kicked a two pointer to bring it back to two points. Ref said after the game Garrycastle by 2 points.

Referees need more help from GAA, the ref had 3 umpires no linesmen, how is he supposed to watch everything and keep the score and time, no wonder he got the score wrong. He was depending on the opposition to watch if each team had the required number of players back, The GAA needs to step up and give refs help.

I was not in attendance at the G'castle v Lomans game but my observations are as follows : The referee appears to have made a genuine mistake. He possibly awarded a score to G'castle that should have been awarded to Lomans. People make genuine mistakes . If the outcome is as it appears ( a two point win for Lomans ) then it a credit to all involved ( Referee, G'castle and Lomans ) for accepting the mistake and correcting the error. This is an example of how sport should be played. I wish all involved the very best going forward. loughree (Westmeath) - Posts: 76 - 01/05/2025 16:11:34 2606071 Link 1 |

Tailteann cup only around the corner…Any news on the panel- are we missing anyone/any injuries? I think this is a good competition to allow a lot of our younger players to progress. Hopefully there's a big buy in from all. Lakecounty94 (Westmeath) - Posts: 80 - 04/05/2025 17:14:51 2606619 Link 0 |

It's all to play for, really. Kinnegad are the only team clearly ahead of everyone else at this stage-three teams are on 8 points, Shamrocks are on 9, and Lomans are on 7. I'd say a few of the Kinnegad lads will definitely be in the conversation for the Tailteann panel. They're flying it in both divisions-haven't lost a game all year, and they're pretty much guaranteed spots in both league finals, even with two games to spare. i know Cooney, Daly, and Giles are on it but surely 2 or 3 more have the ability to go in and strengthen the team.

Genuine question here-why are the club games played for 60 mins (30 mins per half).Inter county league/championship played for 70 mins (35 mins per half).With all the emphasis on fitness and strenght and conditioning surely the gaa lads could be able to manage a bit longer!!-rugby is 80 mins and soccer is 90 mins.The game is no longer the physical game as in bygone days.

Rugby and soccer are played on pitches approx 65% the size of a gaa pitch, there's no comparison in the fitness levels of a club gaa player and those playing other field sports. The reality is that an average club match at any level now lasts 66-68 mins, there's always injury time, the current playing length is perfect, inter county changed to 35 mins a side about 35 years ago.

It was 1975 actually. Intercounty championship games were 80 mins long between 1970 and 1975 after this it went back to 70 minutes. They experimented a bit with the league up and down and at end of the 2000 league campaign it was proposed that all inter County senior games go back to 70 mins and remained so since. Gaelic football through the years has seen an increase in having the ball in play. In 1992 All Ireland final the ball was in play for only 25 mins. 2002 All Ireland ball was in play for 32 min out of 70. Fast forward to the possession game of today Kerry Galway 2023 final ball was in play for 43 out of 70 plus minutes.
