WESTMEATH ARE MAKING an immediate return to the third tier after they easily accounted for a much-changed Wexford side in Innovate Wexford Park today.
Westmeath ran out 3-24 to 0-9 winners as star forward John Heslin continued his rich vein of form with an impressive tally of 1-10.
Wexford had already sealed promotion to Division 3 prior to this game, and the sides will meet again in the league final next month.
Westmeath led by 1-18 to 0-4 at the break, with Ger Egan the goalscorer from a penalty.
Elsewhere in the basement tier, Leitrim were 2-16 to 0-15 victors over London at Pairc Sean Mac Diarmada..
James Rooney and Emlyn Mulligan found the net during the first-half, but a spirited London side fought back during the second period with Liam Gavaghan and Kieran Hughes among the scorers.
