Busy, busy day in the National Leagues. We’ll keep you abreast of developments with our live blog.
Kilkenny host the Waterford hurlers in the pick of fixtures, while this week’s crisis county, Roscommon, welcome Donegal to Dr Hyde Park.
Thanks for joining us today. See y'all next weekend
Orchard got scrumped
The Midlanders' impressive record against Armagh set to continue thanks to late drama
High drama in the final game of the day
SPOILER ALERT!!!! Humble apologies, we got confused by the deferred coverage on TG4 and forgot to bring you this result.
Sooner the Slaughtneil boys return to county fold the better
These two are hard to separate (and when they're not, they replay macthes anyway)
Massive win for Sligo below in Thurles... Sure to hit future Semple Stadium attendances
Newbridge... always a hard place to go. Has Cian O'Neill got something brewing in Kildare?
Down achieve some respectability, but that is about the height of it
Whatever the Galway hurlers can do, so can the footballers. Six-point win in Brewster Park, no mean feat.
Contrarily it is a bad day for the Treaty County, who have two defeats from two in Division 4 football. Westmeath regaining that winning feeling
Whatever way you slice it, it is a good day for Wexford.
Apologies, realised we got our Wexford codes arseways there... That last post was confirmation Davy had got a win over Limerick this one here is confirmation that Banty's boys have downed the mighty Limerick
Longford's brave effort to reel in the Wee men has failed. A stonecold classic, by all accounts
The Irish Times' man on the ground cannot hide his excitement (that the whole thing is over)
A draw, as always, is the most equitable result...
In Division 4 of the football, Banty has made it 2 from 2
Yes. Yes it is. Waterford have beaten Kilkenny 1-15 to 0-17 in Nowlan Park.
Richie Hogan wide! Is that it?
Meanwhile, in a game sure to feature low on the League Sunday running order...
One point in it in Nowlan Park... Dan Shanahan looks fit to burst. Can Waterford hang on? 1-15 to 0-17...
Roscommon putting a bad week behind them above in Donegal. Early stages of second half there
A Conor McDonald goal has given Wexofrd a four-point lead over Limerick in the dying moments in Wexford Park. Davy effect!
Fair play to the Kerry hurlers - they are mounting one hell of a comeback!
Sligo still lead Tipperary in Division 3, where Longford are reeling in Louth.
Some earlier results:
London's footballers have beaten Carlow 2-15 to 0-16 in Division 4
Division 1B hurling: Galway 6-23 Offaly 1-12
Meanwhile, in Wexford, Davy is masterminding something of a comeback...
Kilkenny's Pat Leahy has left the fray on a stretcher. It is hot and heavy. Austin Gleeson is on for Waterford? Can he rise above the fray? Kilkenny trail by 2 with 14 to play
Any chance Joe Brolly is on League Sunday tonight? The old 'Black Death' line may be trotted out again.
As predicted, things are getting tasty in nowlan Park. Richie Hogan is FIRED UP
Down, down. Deeper and down...
Sometimes it is hard to be a dual county
All-Ireland SFC semi-finalists are getting a chasing at home, from Sligo...
Tight affair in Clones
We predict an entertaining second half... Kilkenny don't cough up Nowlan Park defeate too easy
Conor McManus is a bit special... discuss
It would appear the slick-passing, free-moving Galacticos of Division 3 are carrying on where they left off last week
Patrick Curran goals for Waterford. Who now lead Kilkenny 1-3 to 0-2
Waterford have an early 2-1 lead in Kilkenny, while Limrick are also up on their hosts Wexford, in Division 1B.
Eoin Murphy with a frankly ridiculous save there for Kilkenny. Bizarrely scoreless after four minutes in Nowlan Park
More goals in Tullamore. Those who headed down for the early throw-in are being rewarded. Particularly those of a Galway persuasion... Could be a short stay in Division 1B

Away from the intercounty scene, we are still coming to terms with what Chrissy McKaigue and the amazing Slaughtneil did on Saturday afternoon
Meanwhile, in Carlow, the Exiles are enjoying their return to the old sod thus far.
Looks like we have ourselves a goalfest in Tullamore
In terms of the hurling we have four fixtures across the top two divisions...
