Offaly 5-16 London 1-06

NFL Division Four favourites Offaly comfortably overcame London in their opening league game at Tullamore.

A 31st-minute goal from Paul O'Donoghue kept London in the contest – the Exiles were 1-09 to 1-03 in arrears at half-time.

John Reynolds had teed up Pascal Kellaghan for Offaly's first goal, four minutes earlier.

In heavy underfoot conditions, Reynolds turned goal scorer in the 48th minute and he also tagged on two late goals, with the influential Niall McNamee finding the visitors' net twelve minutes from time.
