Offaly 1-11

A strong second half showing from Dublin saw them ease past opponents Offaly at O'Connor Park, Tullamore on Saturday evening.

Dublin took the game by the scruff of the neck after the break with eight unanswered points before a 55 minute goal from Con O'Callaghan put daylight between the two sides.

Wind assisted Offaly had led at the interval - 1-8 to 0-10. Cillian Kiely was the scorer of their goal from the penalty spot on 2 minutes.
