A late goal from Louth Proved to be vital.

The Westmeath Footballers suffered an agonising defeat in their opening Allianz Football League Division Two at the hands of Louth yesterday.

A late fisted goal from substitute Sean Reynolds in stoppage time proved critical as the wee county closed out a two point victory on a scoreline of 18 points to 1-17.

The Lake County face a tricky looking fixture in Clones next weekend against Monaghan, who beat Cavan by eight points in their opening game.

Despite the defeat Westmeath manager Dermot McCabe praised the effort of his players.
