Leinster Senior Championship 2026

[J70]

Louth by 8. Have 50 on Louth to win and Mulroy MOTM.

Louth could dominate for rest of decade with their u20/minor teams coming through.

FFS. Fancied Louth but thats the curse on them now

Should Louth lose today then mooster will need to delete his account and run.

[Armagh18]

Thats a fair big shock. Didn't get seeing the game, but Louth have been flying and Dublin have been shite bar the odd sting in the tail for a good while. Did Louth have a few injuries during the week?

[moonster]

You have to fancy Kilare against the Dubs in 2 weeks. Surely final will be played in Tullamore?

Have 100 on Kildare and Limerick tomorrow to make uo for today.

Dublin's old heads really showed up and were instrumental in controlling the game. They forced a lot of turnovers and were very efficient in shooting. While McGinnis and Small had goal chances, Dublin were sensible in terms of taking one pointers when they were on offer. Louth preferred to play around the edge of the two point arc, and over played or took a punt that went well wide.

The way Dublin played was interesting. Rather than adapting to the new rules they tried to control the ball and force Louth to respond in kind

[Sideline12]

Dublin is not gone away, will win leinster, not sure after that.

[Rossfan]

Hard to call today's game.
Westmeath's need the greater so might just drive them to win.

[Blowitupref]

Midway through the 1st half Kildare 0-6 Westmeath 0-3. With Luke Loughlin out Westmeath could have done without losing Matthew Whittaker to injury after 12 minutes

Five points in a a row for Westmeath to lead 0-8 to 0-7. A goal for Westmeath now.

Half time Westmeath 1-8 Kildare 0-10.

[RedHand88]

Will the Louth senior players heap the blame on Gareth Devlin for today loss?

Heard they were taking credit for last year Leinster title win.

Ger Brennan wasn't good enough for the set up by all accounts.

Who the hell is Gareth Devlin.

[Blowitupref]

Westmeath with a 4 point lead again, 1-12 to 0-11.
Kildare respond with a two-pointer and another point.  1-12 to 0-14

Level game.  Westmeath take lead again on 68 minutes.  Level game seconds left.

Result Westmeath 1-16 Kildare 0-19

[gallsman]

Some terrific turnovers in this game. Good to see ref not penalising good tackling and pressure.

[gallsman]

Cracking equaliser. Westmeath have had an awful lot of chances to wrap this up.

[moonster]

Kildare will coast this in ET. The fitter team.

[Blowitupref]

Half time in extra time Kildare: 0-22
Westmeath 2-18

Westmeath with a 3 point lead with 4 minutes left.  A point for Kildare with 2 minutes to play.

Three point lead again. Out to 4 with a minute left.

Result Kildare: 0-23 Westmeath 2-21

[gallsman]

Deserved win for Westmeath. Not much between them but they had more on the line and they wanted it more. Some of them defensive work was terrific.

[Captain Obvious]

Kildare will coast this in ET. The fitter team.

You are still at it. And thinking a Westmeath team managed by McHugh would be less fit than Kildare
