Glennon eyes Dubs duel after Longford triumph

WESTMEATH’S reward for beating Longford on Sunday is a Leinster quarter-final meeting with Offaly in Tullamore, but Dennis Glennon’s eyes are already being drawn towards the last four and a possible meeting with Dublin.

The Lake county were the last side to defeat the Dubs in the provincial arena, their two-point win in the 2004 quarter-final proving the launch-pad for their first ever senior Leinster championship title.

Before that, another local derby stands in Westmeath’s way and, seeing as he is currently stationed in Tullamore, Glennon is in for a colourful four weeks before the next game at O’Connor Park.
