GAA: Dublin too strong for Westmeath
{{date|March 13, 2005}}

A rather unimpressive [[w:Dublin|Dublin]] side narrowly beat an even less impressive [[w:Westmeath|Westmeath]] side last night in front of a capacity (10,000) crowd at Dublin's Parnell Park to bag two points in the [[w:Gaelic football|Allianz NFL Division 1A]] match.

The first half included a succession of poor wides by Dublin's forwards, but Westmeath failed to capitalise on the mistakes of their opponents, finishing the half with just three points.

The second half was a slightly better contest with a sudden burst of energy by the Westmeath forwards producing several points to bring the game back to level pegging at 0-8 to 0-8. However with several chances squandered and consistently poor passing, Westmeath fell two points behind in the final few minutes of the game.
