Replying To Claretandblue: "He won't have to do much to bring them forward, they went as far back as possible last year, back training already? I wonder why???????" Are Clubs that stupid to throw money to managers in December? Rediculous! Meridian (Westmeath) - Posts: 663 - 04/12/2024 16:16:51 2582373 Link

4 home games for Westmeath in division 2 next year. We need all the help we can get next season. A lot of local derbies but winning three home games would probably be enough, tall order with all the outgoings Bluelake (Westmeath) - Posts: 185 - 05/12/2024 21:51:01 2582563 Link

Hurling championship is definitely a bigger money spinner for our county board at the minute, move the football outside Cusack I say westmeathgaa11 (Westmeath) - Posts: 299 - 06/12/2024 08:21:52 2582582 Link

I am optimistic about the year ahead, I think roscommon and maybe cork/louth are a bit ahead of everyone else in league group. We have a extremely hard opener in louth but I do not fear the group. I believe westmeath will stay up, with a new manager that will be doing everything possible to prove himself as an intercounty manager. Club football is good in westmeath and plenty of talented players for mcCabe to pick from Upforthegame23 (Westmeath) - Posts: 110 - 07/12/2024 23:07:47 2582742 Link

I think we need to win at least three matches and I'm not sure we'll be favorites in any game there! Bluelake (Westmeath) - Posts: 185 - 08/12/2024 09:51:13 2582751 Link
I think we beat Louth-Cavan and Meath at home-these teams are not great at the moment and if we are really at our best thete is no reason we cannot beat them Bruno@1 (Westmeath) - Posts: 211 - 08/12/2024 15:50:08 2582781 Link
Any more regarding new faces in with panel and any more notable absentees from last year has anyone heard ? A few rumours of lads going travelling the squad will be hit very hard between this and retirements for the coming year TheGaaMan77 (Westmeath) - Posts: 70 - 09/12/2024 22:30:03 2582954 Link
i think the bookies have meath and down favourites for relegation. meath will probably be underdogs in every game in the league which will suit them, although i have a feeling one of either down or meath will escape relegation dragging someone else into it. I think louth bubble might burst dickie10 (UK) - Posts: 790 - 09/12/2024 22:56:48 2582956 Link

Marist play Moate and CBS home to Colaiste Eoin next week A_Chairde (Westmeath) - Posts: 251 - 10/12/2024 23:42:04 2583064 Link
Replying To A_Chairde: "3 out of 8 quarter finalists in Leinster Senior Schools are Westmeath schools. Marist play Moate and CBS home to Colaiste Eoin next week" The schools football is where its at now for excitement. Moate game despite conditions was very good. Marist had a great win over a strong pats team and the free scoring marys were comprehensive winners. Looking forward to the moate v narist game, fancy marist, who will then play winners of Kildale Derby between naas and athy I think. Mary's should have enough for col eoin and will probably play a Midlands Derby against tullamore. Are dates fixed yet? Upforthegame23 (Westmeath) - Posts: 110 - 11/12/2024 19:58:21 2583183 Link
