Westmeath too good for Faithful so far

Half-time: Offaly 0-03 Westmeath 0-07

Dessie Dolan is exorcising the ghosts of 2003 and 'that missed free' as he has hit 0-4 (3f) to send Westmeath in at the break 0-7 to 0-3 in front of Offaly at Croke Park.

Paschal Kelleghan leads the Offaly scoring with two points, with Westmeath also finding a scoring star in Brian Morley, who has impressed in open play and hit two fine scores.
