Westmeath GAA club season kicks off tonight
The 2026 Westmeath GAA club season kicks off tonight (Friday) with ACFL games down for decision in Divisions 1, 2 and 4.
There is a local derby clash between the last two intermediate champions as Garrycastle host 2025 Leinster finalists Tubberclair at 8pm.
At the same time, The Downs will host St Loman's Mullingar in a meeting of the two clubs who have won the last six senior championships between them.
ACFL Division 1 champions Coralstown/Kinnegad - who overcame Garrycastle in last year's final by 3-19 to 3-15 - will face Mullingar Shamrocks. Coralstown/Kinnegad went on to reach the 2025 Westmeath SFC decider where they lost out to The Downs.
Meanwhile, Athlone were due to travel to Killucan in what would have been John Twaddle's first competitive game in charge of the Shannonsiders, but the game has been postponed.
The other Division 1 clash this weekend is the meeting of close neighbours Caulry and Moate All Whites, scheduled for the earlier than usual time of 10.30am on Sunday in Mount Temple.
