Westmeath senior footballers maintained their quest for promotion from Allianz National Football League Division 3 when they defeated Limerick in TEG Cusack Park Mullingar on Sunday afternoon.
As a spring season chill lingered in the air, the Lake County, despite an inconsistent display, achieved a fourth successive league victory, ensuring parity with Down at the summit of the division table.
Substitute Kieran Martin was once again to the scoring fore, his three points in the second half playing a crucial role to the outcome of this fixture as thoughts now turn towards a visit to Corrigan Park on Sunday afternoon and the challenge presented by fellow promotion aspirants Antrim (throw in, 1pm ).
Team manager, Dessie Dolan, will be pleased with the result but will be looking for an improved performance this weekend knowing that a fifth consecutive league win will sustain momentum and add to aspirational hopes for promotion as the round robin fixtures approach their conclusion.
A spread of players impacted the scoreboard (eight in total ) so that will be a positive to take into the Antrim fixture on Sunday afternoon, the returning Kevin Maguire completing 70 minutes of competitive action also a notable positive for the Westmeath management.
