This could be described as ‘the one that got away’. Frustration, certainly. The Westmeath senior footballers had gone step to step with a very good Galway side but in the end one moment decided the game and left Westmeath players and supporters heart- broken that they had played so well, put up such a great disciplined display and yet came away with nothing. Absolutely nothing.
Obviously Westmeath manager Dessie Dolan was bitterly disappointed at having lost the game, and in his post- match interviews it was clear to see his frustration, but when the dust had settled and time passed by the sky became a little clearer, a little brighter. Westmeath still have a chance, a decent chance of getting out of the group and qualifying for the next stage.
