Victorious Kieran Martin bloodied in attack after final-whistle

Westmeath 0-13 Offaly 0-12: There were unsavoury scenes at the end of this Leinster SFC quarter-final, as Westmeath star Kieran Martin was struck after the final whistle.

But not even the blood dripping from the Maryland attacker’s nose could detract from his satisfaction of a hard-fought derby win over Offaly.

It was the rivals’ first meeting in the championship since 2008, and while well contested, there was no real hint of the enmity that led to the altercation.
