Offaly midfielder Niall Smith has received a one-match ban arising from an incident that left Westmeath's Kieran Martin with a bloodied nose after the recent Leinster SFC quarter-final in Mullingar.

The Gracefield clubman will miss Offaly's All-Ireland SFC qualifier against London in Tullamore tomorrow as a result.

Martin was struck after the final whistle after he had appeared to goad Smith as he celebrated Westmeath's one-point win.
