St Loman's are the outstanding team left in the Westmeath Senior Football Championship according to one of their principle rivals.
Johnny Murray and The Downs will be hoping to face the defending champions or their semi-final opponents, Tyrrellspass in a county final next month.
Before that they'll have to take on last year's beaten finalists Coralstown-Kinnegad in their last four contest.

Murray looks back on their quarter-final victory over Athlone with Midlands 103's Gerry Russell:
The Downs were 2-14 to 0-13 winners over Athlone after extra-time in TEG Cusack Park on Saturday, while Tyrrellspass booked their place in the last four with a 1-15 to 0-14 victory over Mullingar Shamrocks on Sunday.
