Indeed, the more I reflect on the idea put forward by John Giles in recent days that the Portuguese maestro is readymade for the managerial hot seat at Manchester City, the more sense it makes. http://www.westmeathexaminer.ie/sport/roundup/articles/2010/03/24/3995756-special-delivery-for-eastlands/ http://www.westmeathexaminer.ie/sport/roundup/articles/2010/03/24/3995756-special-delivery-for-eastlands/ Wed, 24 Mar 2010 17:00:00 +0000 Sport Easter Blitz The club's 5-A-Side blitz will be held on Easter Saturday this year.

They started brightly and controlled the game from early and got off to a flyer with a goal from striker Conor Kavanagh who took a shot from outside the box and placed it into the top corner. The whole team played as a unit from the midfield two of Gary Caffery and Dale Gibney to the centre backs especially Luke Corless who had an excellent game and is starting to find great form and there was also a great performance from Mark Kiernan. http://www.westmeathexaminer.ie/sport/roundup/articles/2010/03/10/3995387-mixed-weekend-for-kinnegad-teams/ http://www.westmeathexaminer.ie/sport/roundup/articles/2010/03/10/3995387-mixed-weekend-for-kinnegad-teams/ Wed, 10 Mar 2010 18:00:00 +0000 Sport "However irritating and irrelevant at one level, the Cascarino story is a useful reminder of something important. The tale of Tony's roots imparts a useful moral. Irishness is not a simple concept." So said the columnist with (always well thought out) opinions on most subjects, Fintan O'Toole, when Big Cas' thimble-full of Irish blood totally evaporated a few years back on the release of his controversial autobiography. http://www.westmeathexaminer.ie/sport/roundup/articles/2010/03/10/3995384-if-the-cap-fits/ http://www.westmeathexaminer.ie/sport/roundup/articles/2010/03/10/3995384-if-the-cap-fits/ Wed, 10 Mar 2010 18:00:00 +0000 Sport Mullingar Athletic 7 Clara Town 2 On a cold crisp Saturday night at Gainstown, Mullingar Athletic AFC senior team entertained Clara Town FC for a home CCFL Senior League game.
