Ciara Blundell Named Westmeath Captain Ahead Of Championship

The lake county will be hoping of a shock or two in the senior ranks.

St. Lomans Ciara Blundell will captain Westmeath in their first season back in the senior championship ranks. 

The 2021 All-Ireland Intermediate champions have endured a tough league campaign, suffering relegation from the top tier with a very young side. 

Stalwarts of previous seasons Fiona Claffey, Jennifer Rogers, Johanna Maher and Aoife Brady have stepped away from the fold. 

A further four Lauren McCormack, Niamh Spellman, Lorraine Duncan and Leona Archibold decided not to take part in the league and it remains to be seen whether they return. 

No doubt their experience would be welcome after defeats to Mayo, Donegal, Galway and Waterford. 

The 2022 Leinster Senior Football Championship begins at the end of the month.
