Westmeath ran out nine-point winners at Croke Park.

Westmeath's fast start was key as they overcame Offaly in the Tailteann Cup semi-finals yesterday.

The men from the Lake County withstood moments of resurgence from Offaly to eventually run out 3-22 to 2-16 winners at Croke Park.

John Heslin kicked eight points for Westmeath, while Lorcan Dolan hit 2-1.

Westmeath Manager Jack Cooney says they still have plenty of things to improve on:
