Noel Conaty says bringing players through is in his remit.
Westmeath minor hurling boss Noel Conaty believes a big part of his role is preparing players for the senior set-up.
The Lake County provided a big shock in beating Dublin last week and will look to do so again when they face Offaly at noon on Sunday.
Conaty says players dropping off the radar after the minor grade remains an issue in Westmeath:
