Westmeath hungry for success as doubts lifted, says Ger Egan

Earlier this year, Ger Egan conceded he’d almost questioned himself as a footballer after Westmeath’s horror 2014 campaign yielded 12 defeats in 12 games.

“It was just a terrible year,” he said at the time. “You’d almost doubt yourself as a footballer because you’re looking back at the end of the year and there were just so many losses. You were in such a rut.”

In truth, there wasn’t much that occurred throughout this year’s Allianz League campaign which ended in relegation again to convince Egan that he or the team had turned a corner.
