    Listening to Joe Dolan is all well and good but who will benefit from his wise words?

    Shortly after Westmeath were crowned the inaugural winners of the Tailteann Cup, it became known to this writer that their current Captain, Kevin Maguire, had actually played some of his underage football with St Peter’s, Dunboyne, as the family lived in the area and both his parents worked in a large place of business in…
