Well Mick, how many Westmeath fans do you think will travel up to Croke Park for the Leinster Football Final.?

Hopefully there will be a big crowd and a great atmosphere.

Interesting to see Caulry relegated from Division 1 already with no wins to date, at the other end Garrycastle seem to be benefitting from having a settled team with no county distractions and look to be on course for back to back finals.

Division 2 looks very tight with up to four teams in contention. It appears Kinnegad have withdrawn their second team from that division.

Garrycastle also had the benefit of Lomans missing their main scoring threat. They hit 6-23 v Moate, then only 1-5 v Garrycastle, which is an interesting one - unless Moate were significantly understrength that night.
