Replying To mintyfresh:  "Absolutely disastrous result. To be 8 points up and lose like that. Stuck in Division 3 and not ideal form heading into championship"
We are playing with a goalie / 3 defenders / 2 midfielders / 9 forwards / and then to defend our lead of 7 points we introduced 2 more forwards. While the lads were unlucky today, Wexford missed 3 other solid goal chances to our zero. It is no wonder that all the strong teams in the Division have beaten us. Hugely disappointing.

Replying To Maroon Heaven:  "Speechless after that. Westmeath love the last min drama.

Good luck to Wexford. Can't fault them in our loss. PS. Whittaker and Cooney were immense today."
If there are any positives to find from the league campaign it was the performances of Matty Whitaker and Brian Cooney. Overall as a team it has been bitterly disappointing, very frustrating to watch. I try to stay positive but have enough after today

Agree 100%. Brian Cooney has had an excellent campaign and was best player on the pitch last week. Didn't have the same influence today but played his part in what should have been a win. Matty Whitaker has that really rare ability to beat most defenders he faces from a standing start. Has ever played at 11, we need a key to unlock Luke Loughlin who has been below his usual high standards?
