A good example of the glass-ceiling syndrome, Westmeath’s respectable championship displays haven’t created the momentum of progress and things have begun to fall apart with player availability issues and a poor league campaign. They go into the last two weeks of the round robin in danger of losing their place.


Last good day: Beating Antrim at the start of the 2012 Leinster championship.
