Coach Education
Westmeath GAA staff were busy on the coach education front over the last week with an Award 1 Dual Course recently commencing.
A total of 25 enthusiastic coaches were in attendance in Cusack Park for the first night of the course. On Friday evening and Saturday morning in Garrycastle, 20 coaches completed their Introduction to Gaelic Games Course (Foundation ).
Thanks to Garrycastle for hosting and well done to all who completed the course.
Development Squads
Due to the inclement weather and hurling Feile, Westmeath U16 footballers were the only squad in action at the weekend. Westmeath played Offaly in a challenge game on Saturday morning in Hogan Park Moate, with all players getting substantial game time. This will help prepare them for their upcoming Ted Webb Cup games with Dublin, Galway and Cork East.
Thanks to Moate All Whites for hosting the game. All other development squads have received their fixture details for the year and can start planning ahead for these assignments.
