Dillon hails minor footballers after memorable victoryFollowing his side’s memorable victory over Dublin in the Leinster MFC on Tuesday evening, Westmeath manager Mick Dillon paid tribute to all who have helped the players along the way. To put it in context, Tuesday’s victory was Westmeath’s first over Dublin at minor level since 2000 and only their fourth in history (1952, 1963 and 2000 the others). Dillon said the players have set high standards and are comfortable at performing against the top teams at this level. But you look at that bunch of guys with Westmeath; an outstanding bunch,” remarked Dillon.
