Louth, Antrim and Wicklow have maintained their winning starts in Division 4.

Late points from rising star Ryan Burns saw Louth come away from Carriganore with a narrow 1-10 to 1-9 victory over Waterford. Derek Maguire scored the Wee County's goal, while Gavin Crotty raised the home side's green flag.

Antrim, who won away to Carlow in the first round, defeated Wexford by 1-8 to 0-7 in Belfast's Corrigan Park, with Matthew Fitzpatrick scoring the game's only goal.

Wicklow, meanwhile, followed up their first round win over Waterford by edging out Leitrim 0-10 to 1-6 in Carrick-on-Shannon. Emlyn Mulligan scored a late penalty, but it wasn't enough to save the home side, who slipped to their second one-point defeat in a week.
