Big game for the lads on Sunday away to Kerry, didn't make the London game but saw all the Kehoe cup games and performances were patchy. However, it's league now and a different story. It will take a good performance to beat Kerry down there but it's vital we come away with something, either way if we beat Antrim in Belfast (not easy either) then this is a dress rehearsal for the final, you'd imagine. Can we finally get out of Div 2?? stonemadbeany (USA) - Posts: 431 - 01/02/2019 20:14:14 2161541 Link

Replying To valley84: "Fantastic win" Wasn't at it but heard after an awful fifty minutes we played for a quarter of an hour and got three lucky goals. We haven't played at all so far. If we are going to make division one we will need to up our game big time jobber (Westmeath) - Posts: 857 - 04/02/2019 08:15:33 2162369 Link

Strong second half display today against Antrim . Mitchell made a big difference when introduced. Good to see the Jogger returning to form. Derek McNicholas 2 scores from lineballs were exceptional. midfield9 (Westmeath) - Posts: 54 - 17/02/2019 17:17:42 2165900 Link

Replying To jobber: "It's thirty years plus since we played top level league hurling this group need to do it this time" well they are as good if not better than Carlow on paper anyway and they look to be staying up in 1b...running Dublin close and drawing with mighty galway preddan (Kildare) - Posts: 514 - 18/02/2019 14:10:53 2166135 Link
Replying To preddan: "well they are as good if not better than Carlow on paper anyway and they look to be staying up in 1b...running Dublin close and drawing with mighty galway" Definitely cannot say better yet. They played Carlow in two finals last year and bottled it both times! With a new manager this year hopefully they can finally get up to 1B for next season. How are Westmeath shaping up at underage in hurling now? They haven't done much since that good team with the two Doyles. Matthew (None) - Posts: 923 - 18/02/2019 16:17:02 2166175 Link
Replying To jobber: "It's thirty years plus since we played top level league hurling this group need to do it this time" The team is still a bit lacking for 1b. Carlow are physically bigger and have more forwards that can win their own ball in the air. This Westmeath team can win the league but the opposition is poor and the Mcdonagh cup will be a big step up. We need Varley back and no injuries to have a chance. midfield9 (Westmeath) - Posts: 54 - 19/02/2019 00:28:28 2166268 Link
Any news on venue for D2 final v Kerry Think its a 50/50 game RAHKILL (Westmeath) - Posts: 395 - 27/02/2019 17:33:00 2168748 Link
Replying To RAHKILL: "Any news on venue for D2 final v Kerry Think its a 50/50 game" i think it will be announced today.This is a massive game,if we can win it will put us in division 1 for first time in many years.The reality though despite winning in Tralee Kerry are playing better we will need a massive performance for seventy minutes something we havent seen since the Offaly game in 2016. jobber (Westmeath) - Posts: 857 - 04/03/2019 06:37:23 2169965 Link

A huge game and massive for hurling in the county. I assume no bus is going from Mullingar to it? There could be demand for it as I wouldn't expect the match is on tv. Matthew (None) - Posts: 923 - 04/03/2019 17:59:00 2170195 Link
