Replying To Seanfan:  "Why does " football need a string Galway team"?"
What a weird thing to get upset about.

Replying To ColmFlaherty:  "We're 3rd in the roll of honour might be the answer, the same way people say that Tipp and Kilkenny are needed to be strong in hurling for it to succeed"
I still don't get it.

Time to give it a rest lads. Ballagh has always been a Mayo GAA club.

Replying To jobber:  "Brilliant game yesterday. Great players on view. Westmeaths hurling still has plenty of life in it and the time has come for the county manager to out all of these many resources to use. With the talent in the Gaels,Raharney,Clonkill and Castletown allied to the best of the rest its winning Joe Mcdonagh we should be thinking off as the talent is there."
Absolutely superb game yesterday. Anyone watching club hurling in Westmeath can see the standard is there. There are quality players right across the county and enough talent to be seriously challenging for the Joe McDonagh.

There seems to be a huge gap between the potential in the county and what's being delivered. The management setup simply isn't getting enough from the resources at its disposal.

I said before a ball was even struck that this setup looked like the third choice from the four candidates interviewed. Last season only reinforced that view. We were possibly the only county team across the four codes that consistently regressed as the year went on. Instead of seeing improvement, structure and momentum, performances deteriorated.

That's what makes it all the more frustrating. The talent is there, and the club game continues to prove it. The question isn't whether Westmeath has the players to compete for a Joe McDonagh title; it's whether the current management team is capable of getting the best out of them. Based on what we've seen so far, there are serious grounds for doubt.

Replying To Belclare98:  "Have no affiliation to Tuam Stars but work in the town, so I'd say it's definitely a post that would interest people.
They won a county Minor a few years ago and many of those lads still on the fringes.
Probably need a shake up with more youth given a chance.
Plenty of good coaches involved with the club so I'd imagine it will be an internal appointment"
The situation is unfortunately looking very poor for Tuam at the moment with regards to winning another Senior county title. This year Killererin are celebrating 50 years since their first title in 1976. Since Killererin's first, Corofin have won 21 titles, Killererin have now 6 in total, Tuam Stars 4, Annaghdown 4, Mountbellew-Moylough 3, Salthill-Knocknacarra 3, Moycullen 3, Ballinasloe 2, Dunmore 1, Milltown 1, Monivea-Abbey 1 and Caltra 1. They are now also competing with Claregalway and Oranmore-Maree who've had a lot of recent underage success. The so called big 3, Dunmore McHales, Ballinasloe and Tuam Stars have won 7 titles in 50 years.

Some good young names listed above id be bringing in ahead of anyone that turns 34 next year regardless of who the are, Heslin is an exception, can stay in the 3 up and can kick from anywhere. I have watched a few malachys games and Lynch was solid but not outstanding by any means just because Buddha says something bias in a podcast doesnt make it true, plenty of lads between 19-27 worth a punt. Luke Loughlin is 31 and wasn't out in the wilderness for the last 2-3 years, Same goes for Connellan which id imagine is his last year and dublin transfer rumours about.

Replying To yew_tree:  "Great win with Paul Towey on fire. Have you connections to Ctown or is it just cause they beat Ballaghdereen?

Ballagh v Balla in the relegation final could go either way but I'd fancy Ballagh experience to pull them thru."
Hopefully the team from Mayo wins that one.
