Mayo and Westmeath come face to face this Sunday in Fr O’Hara Park Charlestown in a game that both sides badly need to get something out of. Westmeath are point-less after their two disappointing defeats to Galway and Derry and a hat-trick of losses would leave them staring down the barrel of relegation to division two.
