Westmeath Junior 2 Football Championship

The Westmeath Junior 2 Football Championship is the county’s fourth tier of club football, and its group stage runs through August with fixtures spread across village grounds countywide. Round 2 falls on Sunday 9 and Monday 10 August 2026, following on from round one which was played in late July. Section A and Section B each field several clubs, and results from this round shape the group standings ahead of the knockout stages later in the championship.

What to expect

Confirmed round 2 fixtures include Garrycastle v Caulry at Garrycastle GAA Grounds (11:00am), Baile Uí Chumaoil v Rosemount at Springfield (11:00am), Loughnavalley v Delvin at Multyfarnham GAA Park (11:00am), all on Sunday 9 August, with Tyrrellspass v St Mary’s Rochfortbridge at Tyrrellspass following on Monday 10 August at 7:30pm. These are low-key, community-rooted club fixtures: a village pitch, a small but committed crowd of players’ families and club members, and a scoreboard run by volunteers. Junior 2 football does not carry the profile of the senior or intermediate grades, but for the clubs involved a championship win is exactly as prized, and each side will have been building towards these ties through the summer. The competition continues on a weekly or fortnightly basis through August and into September as groups are completed and the knockout draw is made.

Getting there

Fixtures rotate around club grounds across the county, from Multyfarnham and Springfield in the east to Garrycastle near Athlone in the west. Each venue has its own car parking at the grounds; check the specific fixture and venue on the Westmeath GAA website before travelling, as venues can be reassigned close to throw-in.
