Kerrigan spent almost four years in charge of Westmeath up to 1995, arriving only weeks before a championship match in 1992 against Carlow. From such a sorry state of affairs he managed to set the revolution in place, raising them from Division 4 league status to Division 2 before his departure.
A fortnight after Dublin's wildly-celebrated 1995 All-Ireland victory, former star Barney Rock set off for Mullingar to begin his reign as Westmeath football manager... In his two seasons with Westmeath, Rock acted as both senior and Under-21 boss and was immediately impressed.
Dempsey led Westmeath to the All-Ireland minor title in 1995 and the All-Ireland U-21 crown in 1999 before taking over from Brendan Lowry as senior manager.

Lowry has been in the hot seat for the past three years, during a time when Westmeath emerged as competitive challengers in Leinster, aided by the success of their minor and Under-21 teams.
