Think I fancy Abbey in ET, smaller & faster, few of the Mullingar big lads were gassing. O'Rourke came into it well for Abbey, seemed to be man marked in 1st half but with the wind Mullingar left him be in the 2nd.

Abbey did well into the wind

Will be interesting to see if they play that way with the wind in extra time. They were passive with the wind , but huge tackling intensity second half. Mullingar with 4 two pointers to Abbeys 1.

Mullingar better at two pointers than Armagh!
Abbey fecked here, I think.

Scahill is absolute class.

Deserved win for Mullingar but I'm sure Abbey will have plenty of regrets.

I take it the big lad was Ormsby, i remember his father playing if it was Tom,was about 6ft 6in.

Tom's lad was the smaller of the two , at 6-6. He had a big influence at crucial stages. Older brother was midfield for Westmeath 20s the past 2 years. They'll probably be the Westmeath senior midfield in a couple of years time.
