There's just over seven days until the big day.
A win against Wexford in the group stages of the championship is giving Westmeath no solace ahead of the All-Ireland Intermediate Ladies final next weekend.
Results elsewhere made it a must win for Sean Finnegan's side, while the model county knew their place in the knockout phase was already secure.
It finished in a thirteen point win for the lake county that day.
Finnegan says their opponents are a different proposition now:
