Remarkably, Ross Munnelly has scored in 20 consecutive seasons for Laois after coming off the bench to notch their last point in a 2-11 to 0-11 defeat to Westmeath at MW Hire O'Moore Park.

The O'Moore County recovered from the concession of an early Luke Loughlin goal to lead by 1-2 to 0-6 at the break before Westmeath sealed the deal with a second green flag from Kieran Martin in injury-time after 39-year-old Munnelly made it a three-point game.

There were two other second round games in Division 3 of the Allianz Football League today, and they both finished all-square, as Wicklow came from nine points down to earn a share of the spoils with Fermanagh at Aughrim (1-10 to 2-7), while a late Sam Mulroy free for Louth held Longford to a 0-9 to 1-6 draw at Glennon Brothers Pearse Park.
