The Allianz leagues are back with a bang, we enjoyed a feast of action over the Bank Holiday weekend and Round 2 is coming up this weekend.

Despite finishing the game with thirteen players, Waterford drew with Dublin in an exciting opener in the Fraher Field sunshine last Sunday.

Jack Fagan (who was outstanding at number 6) and joint-captain Stephen Bennett received their marching orders in the 2nd-half, but Waterford hit the front late on with a Michael Kiely point only for Dublin to respond with a Donal Burke free, a share of the spoils between these counties for the second successive season.

Former All-Ireland winner with Tipperary and RTE analyst Shane McGrath spoke to WLR Sport after the game and featured on Monday evening's "On The Ball" programme.

Waterford head to O' Moore Park to face Laois in Round 2 on Saturday evening, a game that'll be broadcast live on WLR thanks to George Corbett Skoda, with commentary team Kieran O' Connor and Brian Flannery.
