Gerry Buckley looks forward to Westmeath's championship opener.
Westmeath can look forward to a "competition of equals" when it comes to the Joe McDonagh Cup.
That's what Midlands 103 analyst Gerry Buckley is saying ahead of their championship opener against Kerry this weekend.
Joe Fortune's side picked up one win through their Division 1B league campaign while Kerry endured a frustrating time in Division 2A with just one win from five
Buckley says despite the apparent gap, Westmeath will have to be focused:
Westmeath senior hurling team to take on Kerry at 2PM on Sunday at TEG Cusack Park in Round 1 of the Joe McDonagh Cup.
