Replying To 2maroonjerseys: "Like they did in the Div 7 league final." Am I missing something here? At no stage over the last few years have Maryland/Tang bring handing out consistent beatings at underage, they have to join to form Esker Gaels. And from what I can remember aren't overly strong at Minor or U16. Tang won Div 7 this year and will move up to Div 6 now like everyone else would do.

Replying To iarmhiabu: "Punching above their weight and landing plenty every game!! Pity about the football though." Am I missing something here? Don't recall seeing anything of the sort when I have seen them play, discipline maybe a problem with one or two no more than any other club.

The odds with certain bookies for the Galway job make for worrying reading for people in Westmeath. DelaneyCup2026 (Westmeath) - Posts: 47 - 04/09/2026 16:45:42 2692756 Link
Replying To DelaneyCup2026: "The odds with certain bookies for the Galway job make for worrying reading for people in Westmeath." I seen that alright. County board really need to clarify with Mark tonight what's his intentions if some of the big guns come calling or is it he would like to build on what he has built on here in Westmeath. Fingers crossed for Mark to stay. Undertheroad (Westmeath) - Posts: 97 - 04/09/2026 21:58:20 2692781 Link

Was at relegation game between Tyrellspass and Tang. Tyrellspass had greater intensity in the last 5-7 minutes and won every ball that mattered even though they were 2points in arrears as the clock ticked down. Tang will be kicking themselves as they definitely could have won this and were favourites to do so with 10 mins to go, but lacked that know how at crunch time. Tyrellpass half backs came into their own when it really counted. Poor enough standard but Tyrellspass survive, just. Tomorrow's big game is the Downs and Garrycastle. Kinnegad Mullingar is almost a non event. Lomans championship hopes still on a knife edge. In intermediate, Shandonagh and Miltownpass is huge.

Big win for Tyrrellspass today, Tang done well to reel them back in and it looked like they would see it through but credit to Tyrrellspass. Looking at Tang today I feel they'll struggle to come back up. The age profile and squad depth isn't there, nothing at underage to add to what they have.

CFCW desperately unlucky in their game against Maryland. Point up, two minutes in added time. Win and they stay Intermediate. Terrific long rang free by Callum Mc Cormack goes straight to the back of the net. Game over immediately afterwards. Fair play to Maryland but certainly CFCW will be kicking themselves.

I wouldn't call a "long range free" going all the way to the net as a terrific feat. If CFCW were only a point up in added time I doubt he was going for a goal so it was a rather fortuitous score rather then terrific.

Ballinagore winning four out of five championship games in intermediate two years after being in junior b is a remarkable achievement. Michael Ennis, Paul Seery and Peter Robinson have done an incredible job with this group. They will be massive underdogs if they draw Shandonagh or Milltownpass next weekend but their season has been a total success.

Agreed but it also shows how the standard in Intermediate B has really dropped off. Wasn't there a few years where teams got to the final from the B section, that seems a million miles off happening any time soon.

I would appreciate if someone could clarify the following for me ? Who will be promoted from intermediate section B to Section A for 2027. It appears three teams Rosemount , Ballymore and Ballinagore have all finished level on 8 points. Is the following correct ? Process to decide placings . A mini league involving the three teams . 1 ) Points from games involving the three teams . 2 points each. 2) Score difference involving the games between the three teams A) Rosemount + 3 , Ballinagore -1 , Ballymore -2. 3) This would mean Rosemount and Ballinagore are promoted to Section A and Ballymore remain in section B. is this correct or am I making some mistake ? loughree (Westmeath) - Posts: 81 - 06/09/2026 14:31:57 2692890 Link
New format is brutal people can disagree but i just think barring one two games its total nonsense Gaaforlife2023 (Longford) - Posts: 1331 - 06/09/2026 16:10:30 2692895 Link

According to Westmeath GAA website they have it 1. Rosemount 2. Ballymore 3. Ballinagore mintyfresh (Westmeath) - Posts: 303 - 06/09/2026 17:11:56 2692901 Link
That's correct with Tubberclair and Moate promoted from section B senior to A. Great win for Castledaly this afternoon after a tough year. Showed excellent team spirit to end year positively Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 2786 - 06/09/2026 17:34:58 2692904 Link

Out on right wing near sideline. Top class kick. It looked like going over for equaliser but dipped down deceiving CFCW goalkeeper. Sometimes it happens like that!
