Westmeath were coming off the back of three defeats and showed immense strength of character and excellent team work and deserved at least a draw from this encounter. http://www.westmeathexaminer.ie/sport/roundup/articles/2010/03/10/3995392-ladies-lose-out-to-ernesiders/ http://www.westmeathexaminer.ie/sport/roundup/articles/2010/03/10/3995392-ladies-lose-out-to-ernesiders/ Wed, 10 Mar 2010 18:00:00 +0000 Sport Mullingar 7 Old Wesley 19 Mullingar came into this final as favourites having won the league and beating this opposition already in the league.

Up to this stage, no more than three points separated the protagonists, and all the indications pointed to a 'race to the wire' between the well matched teams to determine who would face the Dublin area champions in the final. http://www.westmeathexaminer.ie/sport/roundup/articles/2010/03/03/3995203-kilcullen-show-no-mercy-to-kilbeggan/ http://www.westmeathexaminer.ie/sport/roundup/articles/2010/03/03/3995203-kilcullen-show-no-mercy-to-kilbeggan/ Wed, 03 Mar 2010 17:00:00 +0000 Sport Carlow 5-17 Westmeath 1-10 The text this reporter received in response to last Sunday's result from Dr Cullen Park summed it up: "That is the type of beating I would expect from Kilkenny, not Carlow."
