Edenderry made a strong a strong start to their county championship campaign.
Tullamore got the defence of their Offaly Senior Football Championship off to a winning start against Ballycommon on Friday.
However, Dowling Cup holders were tested throughout their opening round.
There was just a single score between the two sides at half time and Ballycommon struck for a goal immediately after the break.
Ryan Kenny's goal soon after half-time was @BallycommonGAA's first goal in top flight Senior football since Declan Todd's 23rd minute goal v St Brigid's in 1985's first round.

That one took two replays to conclude, Ballycommon prevailing, before later falling to Edenderry. https://t.co/DXvngL9Gc6
At one point in the second half, the home side led by 2-4 to 0-7.
Tullamore ultimately reeled in their hosts to win on a final scoreline of 0-12 to 2-5.
Elsewhere, Rhode beat Bracknagh by three points in Group One's other game, and Group Two Shamrocks beat last year's beaten finalists Ferbane by a point, and Edenderry were impressive winners over Durrow.
The county's footballers return to action on Thursday of next week.
