Today’s NHL FIXTURES
ALL GAMES AT 2PM UNLESS STATED
Division 1A
Galway v Tipperary Pearse Stadium (Live TG4) Referee: J Owens (Wexford) Two points is a poor return for all the hurling Tipperary have done this spring. It will be interesting to see if Gawlay manager Micheal Donoghue tries talisman Joe Canning out around midfield again after his good showing against Kilkenny. Verdict: Tipperary
Waterford v Dublin Walsh Park Referee: P O’Dwyer (Carlow) Last year’s All-Ireland quarter-final was a testy enough affair and this one could be a bruiser between two teams flying high. Dublin will arrive on the south coast flying after the hammering they handed Cork, while Tom Devine’s goal against Tipperary shows how Waterford are developing a good, scoring spread. Verdict: Waterford
Division 1B
Wexford v Offaly Innovate Wexford Park, 1.00 Referee: J Ryan (Tipperary) Statement of intent from Wexford with the TG4 cameras present last weekend. That boost to confidence can help Liam Dunne’s men turn over Offaly. Verdict: Wexford
Clare v Kerry Cusack Park Referee: B Gavin (Offaly) Kerry’s promising start to the campaign was given a dose of reality with a thumping by Wexford so a trip to Cusack Park couldn’t have come at a worse time. . Verdict: Clare
