westmeath_galway — When Westmeath caused a major surprise to defeat Galway in 1986, a lot of these players featured: Back row, from left: Eamonn Gallagher, James Kilcoyne, Michael Murtagh, JJ Lynch, Richie Shaw, David Kilcoyne, Tommy Doyle, Michael Kilcoyne. Front row: Matt Kennedy, Noel Fitzsimons, Sean Greville, Gerry Daly, Pat Clancy, Brian McCabe and Peter Curran.

After a long and necessary absence, hurling and football at inter county level are due to recommence, with National Hurling League games this coming weekend.

Next Saturday, Galway will bridge a five years gap with a visit to TEG Cusack Park, a venue they last played in 2016, when they beat Westmeath, 3-27 to 0-19, in the Leinster Championship quarter-final.
