Hanley ecstatic with Westmeath win

Westmeath manager Brian Hanley was ecstatic after his side ousted Antrim from the Leinster Senior Hurling Championship following a two-point win at Cusack Park yesterday.

The Lake County trailed by six points in first half injury-time and were also reduced to 14 players - defender Conor Jordan picked up a second yellow card - but dug deep to secure a gutsy 0-14 to 0-12 victory.
