John Heslin is a shoo-in for the Allianz Football League Golden Boot after extending his lead at the top of the scoring charts.

The St. Loman's sharpshooter hit 1-10 in Westmeath's facile win over a depleted Wexford team last Sunday to bring his tally to a remarkable 3-47 in six games. With promotion secured, Westmeath are likely to rest Heslin against London this weekend ahead of Saturday week's Division 4 final against the Model County in Croke Park.

Paul Broderick moves into joint second place alongside Wicklow's Seanie Furlong after scoring 0-10 for Carlow in their win over the Garden County, while Kerry's Paul Geaney and Dublin's Dean Rock are the leading scorer in the top flight with 3-28 and 0-37 respectively.
