Westmeath And Offaly Battle Through To Minor Quarter Finals

Both counties faced moments of adversity in their Leinster preliminary quarter finals last night.

Both Westmeath and Offaly are into the Leinster Minor Football Championship quarter-finals after last night's provincial action.

Westmeath came back from five points behind at half time, to run out 2-12 to 2-9 winners in their preliminary quarter final.

Offaly had to win their contest against Wicklow in extra-time after the Garden County came back late in the second half of normal time to finish level.

John Hughes' side were the better side in extra time, to secure a 3-20 to 2-13 win.

Westmeath will now face Louth, and Offaly take on Meath in the quarter finals next Thursday, with Dublin and Kildare awaiting the winners in the semi-final stages.
