100% all you have to do is watch Kill oe in 2023 against Lomans. Easiest match Lomans ever had in Leinster.

I think personally the towns in Westmeath skew it in our favour. Athlone and Mullingar are two of the biggest towns in Ireland that Longford don't have. Lomans/Downs now and Garrycadtle in the past are much stronger than most teams. But most teams in Westmeath no better than the Longford teams. My own club in senior b have been hammered by a couple of Longford teams in challenges. You have to go back to 2008 for a rural club in castle day won the Flanagan cup. Shamrocks and Downs have one apiece whilst lomans and garrycastle won all the rest. So let's not cod ourselves. Clubs in north Longford like dromard , Colmcille , Killoe , Clonguish, Abbeylara , Mullinalaghta all rural sides far ahead of our similar sized clubs in Westmeath. Look at tang / tyresllspass in a relegation scrap they're no better than Rathcline or Carrick .
