Replying To coffey:  "Is it true there'll be 3 second teams in ACL Div2 next year? Shamrocks Lomans and Kinnegad ,has to be a worry"
Yeah that would seem right, without sounding too dismissive but I feel it's more a reflection on the first teams in Division 2 and 3 rather than those second teams being really strong. Has the standard dropped massively in terms of football in the county. I would say the top 3/4 teams in intermediate would be fairly similar to the bottom 3/4 senior teams in the county. Then there is a bit of a drop off. Multy and RBridge in Intermediate A are both Div 3 , while in Intermediate B they are almost all Division 3 clubs now. Finea being back to Division 5.

I know they beat us last year but I think that's the best draw we could have got. There's no excuse for complacency after last year

Wicklow away not a bad draw really-would have that over going to Fermanagh or Kildare anyday.They beat us last year in Championship in Portlaoise but in my opinion very poor management was a huge factor.Winning the toss and deciding to play against a gale force wind was madness.-take every advantage you can -put up a big score against a div.4 team(?) and then see the game out.Saturdays performance should stand to the lads-people are saying Laois were very poor and they were becayse Westmeath made them look poor with their intensity so hopefully we can carry this performance onto Aughrim and get to a semi final
