The reigning county champions Garrycastle suffered their first defeat of this year’s campaign against an impressive Mullingar Shamrocks. Anthony Cunningham’s men were without a number of regulars including the two Dolans and James Duignan and struggled against a very mobile and well organised Shamrocks outfit. The Mullingar men were still without Kieran Gavin but were able to call on the services of Anthony Clinton in midfield. Kieran Gavin will be back for their semi-final in a month’s time and they must stand a great chance of making the county final.

We may still have a few weeks to wait before we reach the full height of the festive season but the football community of south Westmeath and indeed beyond will be hoping that both Garrycastle and Tubberclair can deliver an early Christmas present to the county. A Leinster title for either side would be a momentous achievement and, should they complete an unprecedented Leinster senior and intermediate club double, celebrations in south Westmeath would last well into the new year.

Two Westmeath clubs go in search of a coveted place in a Leinster final this weekend. It has been a long and successful season already for the footballers of Garrycastle and Tubberclair but, without a doubt, all of their achievements up until now will pale into insignificance should either team win this weekend.

A power-packed display from start to finish propelled Garrycastle into this year’s county decider in impressive fashion. This game had the potential to be the game of the championship but in truth, given its one-sided nature, it failed to live up to its billing.
