Westmeath will do well to get much support for another fundraiser after how the last one went. Plus most of the money raised has already been spent with none ring fenced for the COE.

Was this questioned at any meeting? Think it's pretty unfair and unacceptable that the purpose of the draw was not where the money went.

Roscommon had the finger on the pulse. A local house and tickets priced reasonably. 20 for 1 ticket. 50 for 3 tickets and 100 for 7 tickets.

I believe Joe Moran and Niall Mitchell are involved but both recovering from injury.

harry nial has been a real find . he will be great help to ray at midfield . the form of brandon kelly is also a positive development . its also great to see the return of boidou . unfortunately no one from my own club due to nigel hartes injury but we do have jamie as part of management . all positive so far

Agree completely regarding ticket prices. Westmeath at €100 each ruled out so many neutrals.

He is not up to that standard never stood out in club games, hes just tall. Lynam and Connellan nailed on midfielders. Baidu also doesnt look up to scratch on last outing, i dont believe hes a man marker. Were a few players short to be assured div 3 promotion and a good run in Leisnter, Positive signs but we have played nearly our full hand in O'Byrne cup against a poor offaly team. Division 3 has some very sticky opposition. Baker needs to stay fit and finally put in a full year, Kelly might be coming of age but will he play every league game?, i hope he does. Half back line is lethal, probably lacking depth in Goal, Midfield and a centre forward. Niall Mitchell has not played all year and not exactly prolific, he needs a full league campaign under his belt at that level if is going to do much when it comes to championship.
