Ireland West Airport Knock and Ryanair welcomed its four millionth passenger on flights to/from Ireland West Airport Knock last Monday.

ARTHUR MILLER’S classic play The Crucible graces the Town Hall stage next week in an exciting co-production between the venue and Washington DC’s Keegan Theatre Company.

The final pieces of the jigsaw for the knockout stages of the Westmeath senior football championship will fall into place this weekend with the final round of group games down for decision. Garrycastle and St Loman’s have already secured the automatic semi-final spots while Tyrrellspass and Mullingar Shamrocks are already assured of a quarter-final berth. Meanwhile at the other end of the spectrum Athlone and Tubberclair have been consigned to a relegation play-off having finished bottom of the table.

The meeting of Athlone and Mullingar Shamrocks in Ballymore this Sunday evening (6.30pm) might be the only action this weekend in the SFC but with so much at stake it is worthy of being a stand-alone fixture. Whatever the outcome there are important implications not just for the two clubs but for other clubs seeking to secure a place in the last eight and indeed hoping to avoid a relegation play-off.

Bank holiday weekend or not, eight teams go to post in round four of the Shay Murtagh senior football championship. Garrycastle have already secured their place in the semi-final thanks to their 4-13 to 1-8 win over Bunbrosna last Sunday.

I don’t think Paddy Power has as yet offered outright odds on the Westmeath senior football championship but even if he had he would probably be paying out on Garrycastle at this stage. I felt Mullingar Shamrocks were the only side capable of stopping Anthony Cunningham’s men from completing the hat-trick. Last weekend however the reigning champions had little difficulty in seeing off the rather tame challenge of an underwhelming Shamrocks side. That they did this without the services of Dessie Dolan, Paul Dillon, and Shane Mulvihill up front is all the more noteworthy. While the sides could yet contest the decider it is difficult to see how Shamrocks could reverse the result.

After a break of almost two months the Westmeath football championship springs back into action this weekend with a full set of third round games down for decision. In recent years we have seen a number of teams struggle to maintain form after the extended break while others come back with all guns blazing. With the big guns on both sides of the draw set to go head to head, it is at the bottom of the table where the most intriguing clashes will take place.

It is morning in a Los Angeles diner. A couple sits in a booth chatting. One is an Englishman in a Hawaiian shirt, the other is a skinny American woman with sandy red hair. She calls him Pumpkin. He calls her Honeybunny.
