Throw-in is set for 2.15pm at TEG Cusack Park on Sunday.

Midlands 103 will have live commentary of the game on the Inside Line with Will O'Callaghan.

The Westmeath Senior Football Championship Final is sponsored by O’Brien Motor Group Mullingar - celebrating 60 years in business, inviting you to their huge Anniversary Event running from the October 2nd to 7th - pobrien.ie
