Camogie- search for Westmeath's dream team is on

This week marks the official launch of the Westmeath Examiner's latest initiative in partnership with Westmeath's Camogie Board - the search for the county's team of the year. Following on from our first year of sponsoring Westmeath's premier camogie competition, we're asking all camogie supporters to vote for their choices as to who should make up Westmeath camogie's dream team for 2012.Over the coming weeks, our team of judges - reporters and officials who have had their eyes fixed on club camogie competition since April - will publish their shortlist of top choices in various positions: goalkeepers, full backs, half backs, midfielders, half forwards and full forwards. Then it will be up to you - camogie supporters, and members of the public - to vote for your top choices by text message. Before the end of the year, the top 15 will be revealed, and will be recognised and rewarded as the inaugural Westmeath Examiner Camogie All-stars. We will also be announcing the identity of our player and young player of the year, which will be decided by our judging panel.Voting for the All-stars selection is open to everyone, but members and supporters of camogie clubs around the county are especially encouraged to have their say on who should occupy the various positions. Next week, we'll get the ball rolling with our panel's nominations for the county's top goalkeepers and full backs, and your top choices will form occupy the back four positions in our team of the year. The following week, we will list our chosen half backs and midfielders, with the forwards listed in the edition after that. Each week, text lines will be open, allowing you to vote as many times as you like. Watch out for next week's edition of the Westmeath Examiner, and on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/westmeathexaminer"target="_blank">Facebook</a> for updates.
