Best bet of weekend Athlone 15 /8 to beat Kinnegad. Have bookies priced up wrong are Kinnegad not gone?? Harte and Clarke bigger losses for Pass than Tooler and the othrs for Lomans, odds prob right there No odds on Downs nd Shamrocks, the downs obviously will be playing second team thats why Downs 2/7 to win title now is a bit silly??. lakecounty90 (Westmeath) - Posts: 148 - 18/09/2025 19:01:37 2636715 Link

I'll be stunned if the downs do that. They might give 3/4 lads a run that usually wouldn't start but doesn't make much of a difference to the squad. The downs won't have a competitive game for 3 weeks after this, if you "play the second team" that's 5 weeks without a meaningful match. Not a fear of them doing that Bluelake (Westmeath) - Posts: 313 - 19/09/2025 08:50:13 2636739 Link

The Athlone v Kinnegad game is definitely the most interesting in Section A. Game could go either way, hard to call. Tyrellspass, if they play like they did in last 2 games could upset Lomans. However, Lomans have got game time into Sam and Danny McCartan, and if Heslin is back, should win. The Downs v Shamrocks, Downs won't play second team as their Junior are still in the hunt, they will also want to keep momentum. All will depend on what Shamrocks team turns up. Expect a battle. Downs 2/7 to win title, more than a bit silly, nothing is won at this stage. Lomans, Shamrocks, Garrycastle and Moate will still have a say in this years SFC. The Downs will remember last year's championship and take nothing for granted. Expect a few shocks and surprises over the weekend!!!

Kinnegad can jump three places with a win over Athlone, and as they have 2/3 players back, they probably will. If they don't, it will bring the curtain down on the current management, so the stakes are high. I think the final group standings will be The Downs 10 Lomans 5 C/K 4 Shamrocks 4 Tyrellspass 4 Athlone 3 Iarmhisamhi (Westmeath) - Posts: 16 - 19/09/2025 11:18:39 2636757 Link

If CK win they'll go through with either a Tyrellspass win, which would leave Lomans and Athlone on 3 points, or a Downs win, which would leave a 3 way tie between either CK/TPass/Shamrocks if Lomans win or CK/Lomans/Shamrocks if Lomans draw. CK would have better results than at least one team in the mini league if a 3 way tie occurs. Should they beat Athlone, the only combination of results that will knock them out is Shamrocks winning and Lomans either winning or drawing, in which case they'd miss out on head to head with Lomans or Tpass. At least I think that's all correct anon (None) - Posts: 357 - 19/09/2025 12:40:01 2636771 Link
A draw will likely be enough for Shamrocks tomorrow evening to reach a semi final. Shamrocks have not reached a semi final since 2019 so that would indicate severe progression. If The Downs beat Shamrocks tomorrow then Shamrocks likely finish 4th and would play The Downs in semi final if they were to win quarter final. Realistically if Shamrocks can't beat The Downs tomorrow when the latter have nothing to play for, they're not going to beat them in a semi final which The Downs have had 5 weeks to peak for.

Assuming Kgad win , Shamrocks lose & Tpass lose all will finish on 4 points then it will come down to the mini league. Previous results Tpass 0-14(-11) Shamrocks 3-16(+11) Shamrocks 2-13(-10) Kgad 3-20(+10) Tpass 1-13(+6) Kgad 0-10(-6) 3rd place Kgad +4 4th place Shamrocks +1 5th place Tpass -5 Of course if Tpass. Kgad and Shamrocks win then its a whole other story. FrMick (Westmeath) - Posts: 13 - 19/09/2025 14:30:02 2636780 Link

Big match between kilbeggan and ballymore. Loser relegated to junior Mattyreilly (Westmeath) - Posts: 172 - 19/09/2025 15:11:00 2636784 Link
All the talk of the downs having won the championship already is a bit disrespectful. The players seem driven so far after 4 games to get over the line this year. However, the chasing pack will all improve drastically before the semi finals; how much better will the downs get? I still don't think any of the teams can improve enough to beat them but things usually get tighter come semi finals & final so it could happen. For me I see Lomans beating Tyrellspass, Downs beating Shamrocks & Kinnegad beating Athlone. Shamrocks v Garrycastle & Moate v C/K in quarters with Shamrocks-Downs & Lomans C/K in semis.

Replying To Mattyreilly: "Big match between kilbeggan and ballymore. Loser relegated to junior" Short turnaround for Kilbeggan as Maryland game was replayed on Tuesday. The injury to Cian Rainey ( wish Cian a speedy recovery) wasnt all that bad for Maryland as it turned out. Kilbeggan were leading by 3 points when the game was abandoned.

Shandonagh beating all before them this championship before today where they only just got 4 scores against Tubberclaire!!-did they put out an u10 team??-or maybe Tubberclaire were just totally on top and never gave them a smell of it??anyone at it who can explain Bruno@1 (Westmeath) - Posts: 280 - 20/09/2025 17:56:22 2636856 Link
Shandonagh missing Aaron Craig, Kevin Boyle, Gareth Carr and others but doubt that kind of beating is helpful heading in to knockout stages. Tubberclair needed a win to qualify for semi and were far more motivated. Milltownpass play Multy, Milltown vs second in section B. In quarter finals Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 2357 - 20/09/2025 18:41:58 2636858 Link

In quarter finals" Craig featured from what I believe, they seemed to be close to full tilt with both Treanors returning. Carr absent and Boyle looks to be carrying an injury from a previous round. They'll fancy their chances of beating Milltown I would imagine. OverTheHill85 (Westmeath) - Posts: 133 - 20/09/2025 19:00:20 2636859 Link
Did Shandonagh put out a second string side? Seemed a very strange result. Lomans outstanding in Castletown Geoghegan. Paddy Dowdall bringing in Rory Sheahan was a masterstroke. Hard to credit how Tpass won two matches, they completely gave up second half. Garrycastle Shamrocks will be very interesting quarter final. Athlone completely fallen apart by the looks of it Bluelake (Westmeath) - Posts: 313 - 20/09/2025 19:54:11 2636865 Link
The Downs were very flat. Went through the motions really. Hard to see Shamrocks winning a semi final rematch. If Garrycastle come into the match with 6 wins a row they could give The Downs somewhat of a rattle. Blackjack (Westmeath) - Posts: 16 - 20/09/2025 19:55:52 2636866 Link
