Replying To Overthebar85: "Surely the county board will change format next year. The 4th best team in the county lies idle while the 9th best team is rewarded with a quarter final. There is very little incentive for a team from section B to reach the A section. Tubberclaire have very little to play for and Athlone and Moate are battling for second. Athlone and tubberclaire is a local derby with the sting taken out of it. Keegan got bad bang last week and o connor likely to be rested before quarter final. Moate and killucan essentially dead rubber. Can't see Lowry playing. Murray and Mitchell haven't featured at all in championship and don't look likely to. Killucan will have no interest either. Lomans will walk over caulry into 3rd. tang and tpass be the best gae of the weekend." I'd nearly make it 4 teams from Section B and 2 from Senior A qualify next year, just to make sure Killucan and the delegates get into some sort of knockout stage

Replying To GreenandRed: "Some girls, including underage, are well capable of kicking 2 pointers." Speaking as someone who attends a lot of ladies games that is not even close to factual. My local club are senior and division 1 and there has been two 2 pointer scored during their home games. That's 5 league games , 3 championship and 2 Gaeltacht games. Two in total.
There's barely any at inter county also.

Replying To dec: " Replying To JoxerDaly: "Weekend Predictions for SFC:
The Downs v Garrycastle: (TEG Cusack Park, Sun, 5pm)
The Downs to win by a low margin. Garrycastle have to win to qualify and will leave everything out on the pitch.
St Lomans v Caulry: (Moate, Sun, 5pm)
St Lomans to win, again by a low margin. Caulry should have pride in their jersey, playing in Moate, stayed with The Downs to half time, Senan is back and if they click will pose serious problems to Lomans. Another draw is a possibility.
Kinnegad v Mullingar Shamrocks: (Rochfortbridge, Sun, 5pm)
Kinnegad to win. Shamrocks won't roll over. Outside chance of qualifying is still there, provided results in other games go their way.
Athlone v Tubberclair: (TEG Cusack Park, Sat 5pm)
Tubberclair by the minimum
Moate v Killucan: (Kinnegad, Sat, 5pm)
Moate by the minimum
Tang v Tyrrellspass: (Shandonagh, Sat, 5pm)
Relegation decider. Tang have to win, Tyrellspass can draw or win to stay up. Tyrellspass to stay Senior.
Final Positions:
Section A:
Kinnegad => SF
The Downs => SF
St Lomans => QF
Garrycastle
Mullingar Shamrocks => Relegated to Section B
Caulry => Relegated to Section B
Section B:
Tubberclair => QF + Promoted to Section A

Athlone => QF
Killucan
Tyrellspass
Tang => Relegated to Intermediate" "Kinnegad v Mullingar Shamrocks: (Rochfortbridge, Sun, 5pm) Kinnegad to win. Shamrocks won't roll over.

We need to beat Kinnegad, The Downs need to beat Garrycastle, and Loman's need to draw with Caulry.
That would leave Shamrocks, Garrycastle and Loman's all on 5 points.
Then it goes to a mini league between those 3 teams only, so results against everyone else don't matter. Basically the Shamrocks v Garrycastle, Shamrocks v Loman's and Garrycastle v Loman's games decide it.
So even if Loman's hammer Caulry, it wouldn't help them in the mini league anyway.
we need that Loman's-Caulry game to be a draw or we're gone.
in saying that though lomans have had 4 draws

Replying To LongfordSham: "Ah sorry, took that up wrong re county players. Even at that i wouldn't say a team that supposedly has 10 players up to senior football standards would be finishing bottom of a group, winless and a -24 points difference. If that was the case, maybe we're all wrong and the standard of teams in Longford is higher than we all thought!" Well I would say that these guys are good enough to play Senior Club football in Longford but not in a lot of other counties. The standard of Longford club football is incredibly low.

Westmeath Hurling thread - 1 Like(s)
Replying To Greengrass1: "It cant really. There were former hurling clubs in Kilbeggan,Streamstown Horseleap,Rosemount,Moate and Drumraney at different stages. Some of them managed to get as far as a senior final but all of above areas now feed into two hurling clubs namely CTG for the first five areas and Fr Daltons for Drumraney. At present, a large percentage of CTG's underage comes from Streamstown,Rosemount, Kilbeggan axis and if a Hurling club were to develop there, then it strips the underage set up of CTG apart. BTW, this is not anti CTG but just the reality of same." CTG are fielding two teams at the likes of u12 with a lot of players coming from Kilbeggan Streamstown and Rosemount as well so I agree with what your saying however it also indicates strong interest in hurling across those areas as well which could be explored.
