Dublin’s presence means getting to the Leinster final will do for Westmeath

Where Tom Cribbin’s side were anxious, tetchy almost, heading into their Leinster championship opener against Offaly, they’re a touch more excitable ahead of tomorrow’s sojourn to the capital.
Remarkable what a single victory can do for a team, particularly when said team had the whole county and its mother on their back following yet another dismal league campaign – Westmeath’s latest spring no-show saw them plummet to the basement tier.
