Westmeath victory finally brings sizzle to GAA summer
Ask yourself; when last did a game of football in June have you as a neutral on the edge of the couch, leaping off it, urging a team over the line, hollering over their latest score, as Westmeath v Meath had last Sunday?
It wasn’t that it was a ‘shock’ in the conventional sense. Both sides played in Division Two this past spring. The last time Meath finished among the top eight teams in the league was in 2000. Westmeath were rubbing shoulders in Division One last year.
