John Heslin hits back at Westmeath detractors
Former All Star, Dessie Dolan was among those bemoaning Westmeath’s fate in the league in recent years, arguing that reaching the Leinster final had papered over a series of cracks and that it was time for a native to take over the reins once more.
Heslin scored five points as the Lakesiders edged out local rivals Offaly in Sunday’s Leinster quarter-final and the full-forward was adamant that championship results outweighed anything that occurred between February and April.
