Midlands 103 commentator Gerry Buckley is hopeful that Westmeath can gain promotion back to Division Two this season.
The Lake County get their league campaign up and running at home to Connacht side Sligo this Sunday, as they aim to build on their O'Byrne Cup win last weekend.
Mark McHugh's side came back from eight points down to secure their first piece of silverware of the season and are now turning their attention to next few months.
Buckley says Westmeath are capable of securing promotion:
