As a return to intercounty training awaits in late November, the Westmeath senior football panel united en masse on Sunday morning to complete the Tailteann Trail, members of the playing squad and management completing a sponsored relay on the greenway from Athlone to Kinnegad, realising funds for the Lake County’s team holiday to Mexico this month.
An early start on Sunday morning, Athlone footballers, Ray Connellan and Shane Allen, complete with the Tailteann Cup, started the relay, from Pairc Chiaran at 7.50am, transferring the prized silverware to team captain, Kevin Maguire, in Tully, the relay continuing onto Moate, Rosemount and Streamstown, before reaching its final destination in Corasltown/Kinnegad GAA at approximately 5.30pm.
