Replying To Gaaforlife2023: "Agree most of that but I see castletown coming out to prove a point if both play at their best I think they edge this one" Castletown by 8+. I personally don't see the Gaels making a top 3 this year westmeathgaa11 (Westmeath) - Posts: 320 - 14/07/2025 14:50:41 2625638 Link

Castletown v LLG - CTG by 4. Close, but CTG should have enough Clonkill v Pollard - Clonkill by 6 Raharney v Daltons - Raharney by 10+. Don't see Dalton's offering resistance unless Raharney are underpowered. Ringtown v Brownstown Ringtown by 3 Cullion v Delvin Cullion by 2 - Tight call but Cullion to shade it Plunketts vs wood - Plunketts by 5, The Wood are an ageing spent force, can trouble all teams in a competitive division but still likely relegation fodder imo. CTG v Clonkill - CTG by 4, always hard to know when 2nd teams play each other. Raharney v Turin - Turin to nip it by 2. S.Gaels v St Brigid's. S.Gaels by 3 gedupoutofit (Westmeath) - Posts: 190 - 16/07/2025 11:48:19 2626027 Link
Any word on the potential Senior manager candidates besides Buddha and Moran? Hopefully, the recently appointed selection committee can complete the process efficiently. It would be ideal to have a manager in place to oversee the business end of the championships. gedupoutofit (Westmeath) - Posts: 190 - 16/07/2025 11:55:42 2626028 Link

Totally agree.But this time they need to get It right.In my opinión a young upcoming manager with modern ideas Who ensures all of our Squad are totally committed to the cause and get to the levels of fitness demanded by the top teams. Budda and Kevin O Brien have those qualities but would they be better assisting a coach who has done the business at All Ireland level at minor and 20s.Only a question? jobber (Westmeath) - Posts: 1752 - 16/07/2025 19:38:27 2626164 Link

He's onto a good thing and he'd only leave for a top tier county as his stock is high. Bluelake (Westmeath) - Posts: 277 - 17/07/2025 15:45:24 2626280 Link
