Disputed goal key as Offaly respond after early Leitrim fright

Leitrim defenders claimed John Furlong was in the 'square' when he palmed the ball to the net

 

Allianz FL Division 3: Leitrim 1-9 Offaly 1-13 

Lowly Leitrim, who had not won a league game this season, provided Offaly with something of a fright early on in Ballinamore but then the Faithful County side got their game back in gear just before the interval when John Furlong with a tinge of controversy attached to it finished to home side's net and put the visitors on the road to a hard fought win.
