Westmeath qualifiers for Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann

The following were prize winners at the Leinster Fleadh in Dublin last month, and will be flying the flag for Westmeath in the competitions at this year's Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann. The first and second-placed competitors at the provincial rounds have qualified to compete for All-Ireland glory next week. Last year's champions automatically qualify for this year's competition, which includes a number of Westmeath teams. Best of luck to all!
