One Point Loss Sees Westmeath Depart Leinster Championship At First Hurdle

Monday, 8 April 2024 08:56

Dessie Dolan's side were narrow losers to Wicklow.

A one point difference separated Wicklow and Westmeath in the first round of the Leinster Senior Football Championship.

Dessie Dolan's side were narrow losers over the weekend, falling to a final scoreline of 2-9 to 1-11, just a week after being crowned Division Three champions.

The Westmeath boss says he and his players wanted to produce a good run in the provincial championship:

Meath and Dublin will renew their rivalry in the quarter finals.

The Royals booked their place in the last 8 with a seven-point win over Longford at Pearse Park, while Wexford were 4-19 to eight points winners over Carlow.
