Westmeath U20s Bounce Back While Laois Drop Out

Thursday, 2 April 2026 10:32

Offaly got their campaign off to a losing start.

Westmeath bounced back from defeat in the opening round of the Under 20 Leinster Football Championship last night.

The Lake County improved their chances of making the competition's knockout phase thanks to victory away to Wexford.

Colaiste Mhuire footballer Will Scahill contributed 1-2 to help Westmeath to a 1-14 to 2-8 win.

Offaly opened their campaign last night with defeat to Kildare. Jack Ryan led the scoring for the faithful in a 1-17 to 1-13 loss in Hawkfield.

While Laois' hopes of making the knockouts were ended after their second defeat in two outings.

Meath were 3-12 to 0-10 winners at Donaghmore Ashbourne GAA Club.

Elsewhere, Longford got past Carlow with a 2-20 to 1-13 win, and a late goal wasn't enough for Dublin as they lost 2-13 to 1-13 to Louth.
