Liam Kearns' side were beaten by a brace of goals in Mullingar on Sunday.
Offaly can take heart from their defeat to Westmeath in Mullingar according to Midlands 103 commentator Brian Gavin.
Liam Kearns' team led at half time thanks to having a strong breeze at their backs in the first period.
Ultimately Westmeath found their feet and found their range with the wind to win on a final scoreline of 2-12 to 12 points.
Gavin says with more fielding talent to return to the Offaly ranks, there's positives to take from the loss:
