Here we go again… could Caulry go and get their own forum. It's beyond a joke now.

Give young lads a chance, two lads still in school and lads discussing them being inter county senior stars. One of them is still a minor and the other has yet to even train with his club adult team. Nice to win last night, captain's performance from Ronan and Luke was excellent, Briain Cooney did well too and Tadgh and Charlie Drumm while keeper was decent, having two proper keepers this year is a significant improvement on last year's set up. Sligo and Clare games will be crucial Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 2537 - 17/01/2026 11:50:44 2651427 Link 1 |

I can 100% confirm that he is not. Not sure why he was named last week in the panel maybe it's a question that he is returning at some point but is not in with the squad at this point. Interesting to see the main man from caulry Conor McCormack was in st Conleths last night with the Team togged as a goalkeeper. He was taking kickouts etc with the keepers before the game yesterday.

That's disappointing to hear! He was in training the week that he was put in the panel but wasn't sure he actually decided to commit since then as not seen! Good to have Conor McCormack back in the panel could end up playing a game or two outfield! Westmeath25 (Westmeath) - Posts: 2 - 17/01/2026 21:32:18 2651511 Link 0 |

Great win for westmeath they struck hard when it counted most at the end. I still feel however we lacked alot up front Brandon kelly Senan Baker Robbie forde when he came in contributed nothing to the scoreboard. The worry is if luke is tied up we have nobody to get scores. Wallace 1-7 from wing back without his contribution the game is a whitewash. Kildare had a far greater spread of scorers lads need to take off rose tinted glasses if they think divison 3 will be easy we've 1 top forward and the other lads good for club Dazzler30 (Westmeath) - Posts: 73 - 18/01/2026 10:20:26 2651556 Link 0 |

i havent posted much in this forum lately . it was great to see silverware return to the county on friday evening , firstly kudos to kildare on the great venue st conleths has become . a credit to all concerned . as for the game itself i saw a steel in westmeath i havent seen in a long time . 13 minutes into the 2nd half or there abouts kildare got a sloppy goal and i thought we were beaten . its then players stood up to the mark , the display in the last half of the 2nd half was immense . charlie drumm tadgh baker ronan wallace harry niall who i think will play a big role for us this year mattie whittaker and luke took the game to kildare who had no answer, but i have to say and most observers at the game said it that our captain ronan wallace led from the front from the very start. mark mchugh and his team has the players believing in themselves . i know its only o byrne cup time but there is nothing like winning . so well done to all and roll on sligo in cusack on sunday next mickcunningham (Westmeath) - Posts: 1908 - 18/01/2026 11:39:27 2651564 Link 1 |

I agree with your observations above dazzler. Firstly though, well done to the new management & team on a great start to the new year. The real work starts now as the challenges will be ramping up from here on…… We will really struggle to get into the top 2 spots in Div3 unless more players step up, take responsibility for getting scores, defend as a team. Without wally and Luke in the 2nd half the game was gone! Sligo will be hungry and have beaten Westmeath last time out when we were expected to win. Div 3 is always very close and with 4 away games incl. Clare & Down this year will be no exception. But it's all about the Sligo game….. a good result gets us up and running. We are capable of winning but time will tell! londoner (UK) - Posts: 115 - 18/01/2026 12:01:45 2651569 Link 0 |
