I was up the north the weekend by chance I saw Westmeath play in a challenge match they were very poor can't see them beating Longford look like a team with no interest brought in subs 10 minutes to go they didn't even warm up. One came off injured looks like hamstring.

Big loss as we have no viable replacement,

Dean Kelly was motm.
Came up trumps when game was on the line . Masterclass in midfield.

Good man mick, love the positive vibe your bringing. Few questions, were westmeath at full strength or was it a trial game, were they trying things out with players a week before championship, with a week to go to championship were 50/50 positional calls up for grabs
From experience these challenges can go either way a week before championship, generally doesn't have much say on the big one.
Next Sunday in a Derby game which will bring its own bit of drama to the game but confident westmeath can get over the line.

How are we looking for Sunday?

1. Jason Daly
2. Daniel Scahill
3. Charlie Drumm
4. Tadgh Baker
5. Ronan Wallace
6. Shane Allen
7. Matthew Whittaker
8. Brian Cooney
9. Ray Connellan
10. Kevin O'Sullivan
11. Sam McCartan
12. Danny McCartan
13. Luke Loughlin
14. Robbie Forde/Conor Dillon
15. Brandon Kelly/Tom Molloy

Would personally like to play with three out and out inside forwards with pace that we have although that hasn't been the case so far. If Baker was to push out we are down a lot of backs so maybe McGonagle or Treanor into the corner to free up Shane Allen to midfield with Cooney to 12 and McCartan to the corner?

Start Shane Corcoran if fit, and maybe Brandon Kelly will get scores against Longford, leave some more experience on the bench if things were to get hairy
