Westmeath Hurling Manager Seoirse Bulfin says his squad are excited ahead of the new season as they prepare to take on Antrim this weekend
The Lake County have had to wait patiently to get their season underway after the midlands derby with Laois was postponed last weekend.
Antrim now under the helm of Davy Fitzgerald, lost out to Dublin in their opening game.
Bulfin says he is under no illusions about the size of the challenge that awaits his side ahead of the league.
The match will throw in at two o'clock at Corrigan Park in Belfast on Sunday.
