Losing is never easy. Losing by 30 points is extremely difficult to accept. Even allowing for the fact that Westmeath were defeated by a top class Galway side last Saturday, who will be amongst the main contenders to win this yearâs All-Ireland hurling title, and that Westmeath were minus some of their top players, a heavy defeat can be very demoralising.
