The Lake County have to try stick with All Ireland Champions according to Castletown-Geoghegan Manager Alan Mangan.
Westmeath have to start Sunday's contest with Limerick believing they can win, even if they need a miracle performance.
That's Alan Mangan's perspective ahead of the two sides meeting in Mullingar this weekend.
Westmeath are yet to win a game against the country's best hurling sides, Limerick were impressive winners last time out over Galway in Salthill.
Mangan says Joe Fortune's side have to aim to stay in the game as long as possible:
