Westmeath chief hits back at claims board behind with expenses

Westmeath chairman John Sheridan has slammed John Heslin’s remarks claiming senior footballers have not been paid expenses for the past four months.

The Westmeath full-forward yesterday criticised the delay in payment of expenses, alleging certain members of Paul Bealin’s squad are owed up to four months in mileage. Heslin also expressed frustration at the lack of access to the county’s gym at Collins Barracks, Mullingar.

“€3.5m for new stand in Cusack Park? Westmeath players are four months without expenses and no access to gym,” he tweeted.
