Rohan the inspiration for Westmeath resurgence

Westmeath manager Pat Flanagan has credited double Paralympic gold medallist Mark Rohan with inspiring the team’s unlikely Allianz FL Division 2 form.

Having already secured promotion after just six games, Westmeath will attempt to cap a successful, if unexpected, campaign by beating Derry in the Division 2 final.

The top form is in contrast to 12 months ago when they required a final round win, ironically over Derry, to avoid finishing joint bottom of the table.
