Offaly 1-14 Fermanagh 0-12Offaly secured promotion to Division Two of the National Football League with a drama-packed win over Fermanagh in an engrossing semi-final in Bord na Mona O’Connor Park in Tullamore. The 1-14 to 0-12 win does not tell the full story of a game that was in the balance near the end. A 70th-minute goal from Offaly sub Mark Abbott after Niall McNamee intercepted a misplaced Seán McNally kick-out got them home but it was one very close run thing. For three-quarters of the game, Offaly were the better side and by a considerable distance at that. Cian Farrell and Anton Sullivan were super for Offaly in the first half and they fully deserved their 0-10 to 0-4 half-time lead.
