Offaly's ladies footballers will face Longford in the Leinster intermediate final after accounting for London at O'Connor Park last Saturday.

The Faithful laid the foundations for a 3-7 to 1-11 victory by scoring three goals in the opening 18 minutes through Kym Furey, Emma Corcoran and Emma Dalton. Those scores gave them an eight-point cushion, 3-4 to 0-5, at the break, but last year's All-Ireland junior champions came under sustained pressure in the second half as the Exiles closed the gap.

A Fiona Morrissey goal revived London who had the margin down the minimum with seven minutes remaining. But Offaly managed to hold out, with a Furey free in injury-time being the insurance point.
