Dublin’s blitz sees off Offaly

Dublin 0-17 Offaly 0-13: A magnificent seven points in a row from resurgent Dublin secured victory at Parnell Park and pole position in Group A of the O’Byrne Cup.

Jim Gavin’s side looked shaky for spells in the first half and trailed by three with 20 minutes to go to a strong-looking Offaly side.

But seven points in a row from the hosts including two from top scorer Dean Rock, who tallied 0-9 in total, put the experimental Dubs at their ease late on.
