GALLERY: Westmeath capture Division four football title

It was a relatively easy win for the Westmeath footballers in the end, as they secured promotion to Division 3 at the expense of Wexford in Croke Park today.

It's a first Allianz League title for the side since 2008 for Tom Cibbin's side, thanks in part to goals from Shane Dempsey Ger Egan which brings their unbeaten campaign to a successful end.

Kevin O'Grady and Donal Shanley responded with goals for Wexford, but Westmeath's scoring point-scoring power amassed an insurmountable 24 points in all, eight of which came from the boot of John Heslin.

And in the end, it was too high a mountain for Wexford to scale, who lost out heavily to Westmeath in the group stage meeting between the two sides in March.

Here are some of the best images from today:
