Westmeath stayed with the Galway champions up to the end game in Cusack Park on Sunday.

"That's where we're at"

Dessie Dolan believes Westmeath's footballers now belong at the top level of the game after watching his side go down to a narrow defeat against Galway on Sunday.

The final score was 1-12 to 0-11.
