By Michael McMullan CONOR Laverty has named an unchanged team for Saturday’s National League final against Westmeath at Croke Park (7.15pm). It’s a rematch of the recent drawn encounter in Mullingar when a late Ryan McEvoy points earned Down a share of the spoils. McEvoy is one of seven players to have started all of […]
By Niall Gartland IT was quite a line – last weekend Leitrim boss Andy Moran issued a defiant rebuttal to those who call for the league finals to be consigned to the dustbin of history. Moran, whose team play in the Division Four showdown this Saturday, said “I heard a lot of noise during the […]
By Shaun Casey WHILE not mathematically secured just yet, it looks likely that Sunday’s contest in TEG Cusack Park between Westmeath and Down could well be a dress rehearsal for a Division Three league final. The two teams currently sit at the top of the pile with an unblemished record of five wins from five […]
By Michael McMullan ANTRIM hurlers make the trip to take on Westmeath in Mullingar on Saturday in search of their first league points of the season.

The mission for Tyrone (not to […]
THE Westmeath hurlers pulled off a stunning upset against Westmeath last weekend, and what caught my eye were comments made by victorious manager Joe Fortune on The Smaller Fish podcast. They came from 17 points down to claim a remarkable 4-18 to 2-22 victory, and their manager said something that I found really interesting, and […]
By Katrina Brennan THE mood in the Erne County is buoyant after four wins from five in the league. A win against Westmeath on Saturday afternoon would leave Fermanagh in pole position to secure promotion to Division Two. It won’t be easy though. Westmeath are the Tailteann Cup holders and under Dessie Dolan they’ve been showing […]
By Michael McMullan ANOTHER week has moved on, yet the same synopsis of Antrim’s first season under Andy McEntee remains ahead of Sunday’s trip to Westmeath. ‘If’ is a small word, yet it’s massive.

By Niall Gartland A PRODUCTIVE McKenna Cup campaign sets the backdrop for Cavan’s Division Three opener against Westmeath this Sunday.
