"We're Here To Win Everything" - Pádraic Connaughton

Westmeath's manager catches up with Midlands 103 after Westmeath won the Division 2A final.

Westmeath's camogie manager is singing Megan Dowdall's praises after the Lake County won the Division 2A League final and promotion to Division 1B with it.

The Clonkill forward hit 2-3 in Westmeath's 4-8 to 0-16 win over Derry in Croke Park yesterday afternoon.

Her second goal proved decisive after last year's Intermediate All Ireland champions brought a nine point half time lead back to two points in the closing stages.

Dowdall managed to run in to space, and despite seeing her initial shot saved, remained composed to put away the equaliser.

Westmeath manager Padraic Connaughton says supporting their talented forward line is something they've working towards.

And the former Raharney boss is unequivocal about where the Maroon's championship aspirations lie.

We're here to win everything, I'd make no secret about that. We're not being cocky. . .we're here to win it.

He looks back on a trophy winning performance with Midlands 103's Jason Keelan:
