HOLDERS OFFALY HAMMERED Carlow to keep their hopes of retaining the Leinster crown alive in tonight U20 action.

The Faithful enjoyed 4-13 to 0-6 victory as Keith O’Neill, Darragh Flynn, John Furlong and Eoin Murphy hit the net for the winners.

Kildare saw off Laois in a high-scoring clash at Hawkfield. Dean O’Donoghue’s goal propelled the Lilywhites into a 1-3 to no score lead.

Daniel Lynam added Kildare’s second goal and despite Laois three-pointers from Paddy Hosey, Darren McEvoy and Seán Fitzpatrick, Kildare advanced after Eoin Bagnall’s winning point. 

Dublin needed a late comeback to see off Westmeath by 1-15 to 1-10. The Sky Blues trailed by seven at the interval but Westmeath only score a point in the second period.

Fionn Murray, Ryan O’Dwyer (who also hit their goal) and Luke Breathnach clipped key scores after half-time to seal the win.
