Westmeath Hurling: Gerry Buckley's Top Three of 2023

The stand out victory of the year saw the Lake County upset the odds in Wexford Park.

In a year that promised much, Westmeath found themselves taking consolation in a one-off victory and in remaining in Division One of the National Hurling League.

Joe Fortune's charges roared back from a 2-15 to 0-5 deficit to beat Wexford 4-18 to 2-22 in the Leinster Championship.

That momentus success was followed by a flat performance and loss to Antrim to drop in to the 2024 Joe McDonagh Cup.

Survival in Division One of the league was secured via victory over Laois in a relegation play-off.

The club championship went to Raharney, but not before Lough Lene Gaels gave them a phenomenal fright.

And Westmeath's under 20 hurlers shone bright.
