On a hugely dramatic final day in the Westmeath Senior Football Championship last Sunday, Mullingar Shamrocks eked out a narrow victory over Shandonagh to qualify for the quarter-finals. In the process they relegated Shandonagh to the intermediate grade for 2022.
It came down to fine margins – Shandonagh missing out on a play-off when a shot by Kevin Boyle was deemed wide, only after one umpire controversially signalled a point before the flags were crossed, ruling out the score.
