Joe McDonagh Cup

Westmeath v Antrim, TEG Cusack Park, 3pm

Michael Ryan continues to extract solid displays from Westmeath, who sit on top of the Joe McDonagh Cup pile.

Ryan knows that could change quickly and this tussle in Mullingar with Antrim carries huge importance.

Avoiding defeat is key for the midlanders, who have stitched an impressive three match winning sequence together.

Losing to Laois was a setback for Antrim, who know that another slip up would be very costly in this keenly contested competition.
