A much improved second period proved the difference.
New Offaly joint manager Mickey Harte says he is pleased with how his team reacted to being behind at half-time in their opening Allianz Footbal League Division three game against Sligo yesterday.
The Faithful County found themselves two points down at the break but responded well in the second period.
A goal scored by Rhode clubman Ruairí McNamee in the 53rd minute, set the midlanders on their way to a 1-17 to 13 points victory.
Harte says he's happy with the amount of chances his side created despite trailing at the interval:
