A - Athlone GAA Club celebrated their 125th year in existence. It was an honour for me to be captain 50 years on from the first of the famous six-in-a-row wins.

Our u14s won the Feile and u16s won the county title indicating a bright future for the club.

Fresh from winning this year’s Westmeath intermediate title Bunbrosna begin their provincial campaign with an away game to Offaly champions St Rynagh’s this Sunday. Having to travel into the lions’ den certainly makes this a lot more tricky for the Westmeath side but they still should emerge on top. Bunbrosna have been operating in division one of the league and were in contention to win it before losing to Tyrrellspass by a point last week.

Kilkenny’s first XV slipped down the league table after failing to take advantage of numerous opportunities, going down 24-3 to Clane on their travels last Sunday.
