I see Jogger has retired from inter county. A great servant like his dad before him, clean, disciplined and a great player

was just thinking earlier this evening tommy doyle when in his prime was one of the best full backs in the country and still surely had a few years left to give for westmeath, and there now i just see hes retired, a massive massive loss for westmeath hurling and a void left difficult to fill. i wish him all the best but a sad day

Replying To Dheen:  "I think if they had the full 15 on the field towards the end they would have won by 3/4 pts. CTG actually took over once Peter Clarke was sent off. They didn't play near their best though and when your away from home in Leinster you need to be at your best."
Correct CTG were three points up at half time. They should have came out tacked on a couple of points at start of 2nd half and they could easily have soaked up the clough pressure. Instead they conceded 1-2 and never really recovered. The sending off was harsh and they had chances to draw level or win game near the end but in the heart of hearts they know this one was a bad day at the office. I'm disappointed for them that they never really got going.
Good luck to jogger on his retirement from inter county a great servant to Westmeath hurling down the yrs.

A wonderful servant to Westmeath hurling.For me between 2016 and 2022 he should have won at least 1 All star.
His dedication to the Maroon jersey was unsurpassed and we will miss him massively.
Rumours also about other players as well.
Won't be an easy start for Kevin O Brien

Robbie Greville has also apparently stepped away, not surprising as I think his wife had a baby recently. Another big loss. Joey Boyle and Niall O' Brien are others who are probably considering their options. Kevin O' Brien will certainly need a long term plan as getting out of division 3 will not be easy. A defence without Jogger and Robbie Grev and with Darragh Egerton not back to full fitness yet is going to be a challenge.
