I knew he was good but feck me and Garrycastle wouldn't be a bad team

Westmeath SFC Semi Final FT - Garrycastle 5-9 St Lomans 2-19 - John Heslin scored 2-16 for Lomans to win game

Anyone know the breakdown, Gerry or Croí?

Was this without extra time? That's uncommon scoring in 60 minutes.

They need Mickey Harte down in the midlands.

He is a serious talent , Heslin. Declan Rowley is over Lomans, former Longford manager. Managed my own club for a few years.

Steve Austin once scored 3-16, though.

14 frees. But some of them were from crazy positions. Lomans were 1 up in injury time. Garrycastle won a penalty which Gary Dolan scored. Lomans won the kickout, long ball in and Heslin fisted it to the net. Dessie played no part.
Shamrocks and Tyrrellspass drew the other semi.

Thats Matt Connor type scoring no matter the position, never even heard of a player scoring so much in a serious championship game, foreby it coming from a midfielder, Garrycastle came out of leinster a few yrs ago too.

worryingly 3 point only came from the forwards

shark · September 29, 2013, 09:17:24 PM

Heslin played full forward, as he always does at club level.

maybe i should have rephrased there were only 3 other scores from the rest of the team

It's mainly like that in any club, one free scoring forward and 2/3 or more other regular scorers.

Couldn't make it, nearly choked on my twitter feed when I saw it coming in. Shamrocks did well to get another day out by all accounts, 2-5 to 3 points down at ht.

Being a pernickety Pete here but Rowley hasn't managed Longford. He managed Laytrum. He is from Longford in fairness.

2-16 in a 60 minute game is savage stuff - irregardless of the fact that 0-14 came from frees.

My bad, he was assistant manager with Longford for a spell though.

2-16 would practically win every game. Epic way to finish by Heslin with a goal in the last minute.

wouldnt mind poaching Heslin and the carlow lad for Derrys midfield lol

mad tan · September 30, 2013, 09:35:41 PM

Didn't Heslin play Aussie Rules a few years ago?
