Replying To Gantric: "Down in the Tailteann Cup so, they might offer some challenge but I would still not show my hand here and wait for the proper qualifiers." It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

Replying To southmeathgael: "I was there, no they didnt, stop making stuff up. Lack of humility in victory just shows how winning isn't really something you are used too. We take it as a compliment when a team goes on like beating us is winning their all ireland. Hope you enjoyed the 2 week celebrations" Two more weeks now to celebrate and plan for final!!!

Brilliant from Westmeath all over the park today especially in extra time when after being deflated with a last second point taking victory away from them -they powered on in extra time and were worthy winners.Huge support for Westmeath today which was great to see and great for the lads-roll on the 17th and a crack at the Dubs in Croker.

The ladies are an example of how to ignore population numbers resources etc and just get on with it, think they had a year where they didn't field but they've bounced back and gave great days out to the supporters.
If there was a connacht intermediate cup for mens game we could surely win a few but would have some questioning it's value and others crying about how to include NY in it as well as the senior one, you can't win

Replying To Doylerwex: "You realise areas not colonised by Britain leaves pretty slim pickings. I'm sure you're mistaken. Where are "all the immigrants" from Mars?" Slim pickings? The top 10 countries of origin for migrants in the UK, by country of birth. According to the 2020/2021 census, includes Poland, Romania, Italy and Germany (over a million and half in total). That's the official list. But you can be sure, there are hundreds of thousands more from all over the world, who would not like to be on a census form.

Replying To martinjoe: "We could not have got a better Draw really, in terms of team ranking. It will be a hard place to go, but Monaghan are likely to be coming into it on the back of a heavy defeat to Armagh. We might get a second crack at the Rossies then....." Yes keep these posts coming lads!!!

Football Championship 2026 - 2 Like(s)
Replying To M Lyster: "Down had to beat Donegal (1st in National League) then Armagh (6th in NL) to reach the Sam Maguire stage,
Meanwhile Kerry just had to beat Clare (24th in NL) to make it. Until this discrepancy is rectified we'll never have a truly level championship." But Kerry would have qualified anyway as 2nd in the League. The Clare game was irrelevant to the AI SFC, just like yesterdays Derry/Monaghan game was.
Plus if Down had stayed in Div 2. they wouldn't have had to worry about beating Donegal or Armagh.

To a man westmeath were outstanding today but I have to give special credit to the back three dillion, drumm and scahill outstanding. Defenders dont get much credit but the tackling and turn overs were brilliant. Brandon deservedly gets man of match and took the game to kildare. No doubt tge best team won today, well done mark mchugh and his management, what a turnaround in player belief in a year, roll on leinster.

Hurling Championship 2026 - 1 Like(s)
Replying To Viking66: "Maybe Ill put forward a motion to the club that promotion and relegation should be introduced to the Munster Championship? On the grounds that it would be massively beneficial to whoever gets promoted to it to have 4 Championship games, maybe make them all home games, against 4 of the giants of hurling? Imagine the good it would do for Antrim hurling, or Westmeath hurling, or Carlow or Laois or whoever, for young people in those counties to see Fitzgibbon, Hegarty, Kelly or Mcgrath in the flesh, get their hurls signed etc? It would be massive for growing the game nationally!!! Maybe it would get alot of support!" No thanks. Four annihilations at home would do untold damage. Munster hurling is the poster boy of the GAA. Why change what's working

Great win today and a serious team performance. The depth in this panel is superb, especially considering we were without Lynam, Loughlin, CMac, Guerin, and only had a half-fit Whittaker.
After listening to The Sunday Game, they were seriously impressed with our work rate and overall intensity
I thought Shane Allen fully deserved MOTM - Brandon Kelly was superb, but Allen's turnovers and defensive work were outstanding all day.
The only thing I'd question is Scahill going for it in the 69th minute - after the Wexford game I'd have thought we'd have learned our lesson, especially with Beirne getting that score. I didn't think we'd have the legs or depth for extra time, but to be fair, it worked out in the end.
I hate going back to it, but I think McHugh has been the best thing to happen to Westmeath in a long time. A lot of those lads were banging on the door when Dessie was manager, but he didn't take many chances and stuck with the more experienced, seasoned players.
Fair play to these lads now they're really proving themselves.

Replying To eoinog: "Does he contribute enough from open play to warrant his inclusion on the starting 15. If not you can't afford to have him for just long range frees. A goalie is completely different." He's a very heavy scorer from play too. He's an excellent goal scorer and better natural finisher than a lot of intercounty forwards. The big mark against him was not being quick enough or being able to do the running required to track back in the modern game.
With the new rules this shouldn't be as much of an issue.
Barry has put up some big tallies from play and frees for years. I genuinely think he should be given a shot, and I've been of that opinion for a long time.
Having a player who can hit two point frees at will is huge, but it also makes the opposition think twice about fouling anywhere between the arc and 50m out, which helps the rest of the team when attacking.

A Leinster final ahead to go and try to win, but after that,
Its not a bad draw at all. I'd expect a better Louth performance but won't thiis one be in Croke Park, hopefully facing Dublin as Leinster Champions.

Replying To 222: "Still a very difficult game against Armagh who have been excellent this season. Its their fifth final in a row and they seemed to have built a very strong panel in 2026 despite alot of injuries and retirements. Our performance was good and bad against derry. The first 50 minited cannot be ignored. I think we can all agree we will need a very discplined , polished and aggressive performance to be anyway competitive. The last twenty minutes against derry and extra time was the best we played in a long long time because we throw off the shackles, tackled hard and put derry under pressure and ran at them. We will need that in 2 weeks and maybe more. Should be a good build up" I think that the first half against Derry on Saturday evening might prove to be the most beneficial of the Championship. Huge lessons will be learnt, team will know to be switched on from throw in. Would rather come through a game like that then to be entering the Ulster final on the back of a few challenge matches.
