Lough Lene Gaels played 2025 Slevins Coaches Senior Hurling B Championship title winners Delvin in this, a Round 1 match of the 2026 Slevins Coaches Senior A Hurling Championship, on Sunday July 5th.
The grounds of Mullingar based St Oliver Plunketts Hurling and Camogie clubs, located at Robinstown, Mullingar, was the match venue. Lough Lene Gaels 2.12 Delvin 0.11, was the half time match scoreline. Lough Lene Gaels further added to their half time lead as the second half progressed, eventually winning this Round 1 fixture by a double digit points margin.
While the author of this article is all too aware of the cliche that refers to “lies, damned lies and statistics”, in fact last Sunday’s fixture is at least the fourth occasion on which Lough Lene Gaels Hurling club has scored six goals in a single Westmeath SHAC/SHC fixture. The last of those previous three SHAC/SHC fixtures in question was played in 1977, all of 49 years ago. 1974: Kinnegad - Lough Lene Gaels 6.16 (34) Delvin 4.03 (15) - play off match for semi finals qualification. 1976: Mullingar - (TEG) Cusack Park - Lough Lene Gaels 6.09 (27) Brownstown 4.09 (21). 1977: Mullingar - (TEG) Cusack Park - Lough Lene Gaels 6.10 (28) Cullion 2.05 (11).
