20:53

HL1A full time: Limerick 0-33 Cork 2-19

A first victory of the year for the holders but I'd expect Cork to be more fired up when the sides meet again in a Munster SHC semi-final at Thurles on July 3rd!

20:52

Save!

Hennessy denies O'Connor his third goal of the night - Horgan nails the resultant '65'.

20:51

Save!

Horgan goes for goal from a close-range free but it's deflected wide for a '65', which he converts, before exciting young gun O'Neill replies.

20:48

HL1A: Limerick 0-32 Cork 2-17

Horgan blasts over a Cork free in the 70th minute. We'll have four minutes of injury time at the end of this. From play, half-time substitute Horgan strokes over his seventh.

20:44

HL1A: Limerick 0-32 Cork 2-15

From close to the left sideline, Limerick substitute Cathal O'Neill drops over the score of the night so far, an absolute beauty. Lynch intercepts the Cork pass to ruthlessly lash over his fourth.

20:41

HL1A: Limerick 0-30 Cork 2-15

Horgan (free) and substitute Adrian Breen exchange scores, the latter score arriving after a trademark Limerick swarm to win back possession.

20:39

HL1A: Limerick 0-29 Cork 2-14

Gillane's easy free from in front of the posts goes straight over the bar. That's his ninth. Morrissey follows up with his fourth. Eight minutes left here.

20:37

HL1A: Limerick 0-27 Cork 2-14

That's three in a row from Horgan (free) as we move into the 60th minute with seven points separating the sides. Lynch and Morrissey with further Limerick wides.

20:35

HL1A: Limerick 0-27 Cork 2-13

Horgan converts a Cork free with 14 minutes left. O'Connor is then fouled by Nash and Horgan obliges again on 57 minutes.

20:31

Goal!

From the tightest of angles cutting in from the left, O'Connor improvises superbly to bat the sliothar down into the ground and past Barry Hennessy to the far corner of the net - 2-11 to 0-27 at the second water break.

20:28

HL1A: Limerick 0-27 Cork 1-11

Wonderful precision from Byrnes in glorious sunshine as he lofts over a '65' from close to the right sideline. The hosts' wides tally goes out to 16 after Byrnes and Gillane miss the target. Cork make a mess of the restart and gift Gillane a pointed free. At the other end, Richie English deflects Kingston's goalbound effort onto the crossbar and out to safety. O'Donovan then lands Limerick's fifth unanswered point.

20:23

Save!

Byrnes gets back to make a crucial block and deny Kingston what might have otherwise been a second Cork goal!

20:22

HL1A: Limerick 0-24 Cork 1-11

Morrissey brings his total for the evening to three before Byrnes gathers a Lynch pass and nails a delightful point from the right wing. Four each since the restart.

20:19

HL1A: Limerick 0-22 Cork 1-11

A brace of radar-like Gillane frees give Limerick their first scores of the second half. Kingston replies with his second.

20:15

HL1A: Limerick 0-20 Cork 1-10

Robbie O'Flynn runs at the Limerick defence and helps himself to a point. O'Connor then lashes a Cork goal chance over the bar.

20:13

HL1A: Limerick 0-20 Cork 1-8

Horgan thumps over a free in the 37th minute. Damien Cahalane clears his lines at the other end.

20:11

Subs:

Patrick Horgan, Luke Meade and Niall Cashman have all come into the Cork team for the second half.

19:57

As impressive as the All-Ireland champions have been thus far, Cork have disappointed. With his side topping the table and a championship meeting with the Treaty County looming, Rebels manager Kieran Kingston opted to ring the changes and his charges haven't really got going. Nine different scorers for the hosts in that first half.

19:54

HL1A half time: Limerick 0-20 Cork 1-7

The holders have been totally dominant and lead by double scores at the break. Coleman booked for a wild pull on Darragh O'Donovan and Gillane slots over the free to close the first-half scoring

19:51

HL1A: Limerick 0-19 Cork 1-7

Lynch is giving an exhibition of hurling tonight. The 2018 Hurler of the Years brings his tally to 0-3 and Dalton replies from a free.

19:49

HL1A: Limerick 0-18 Cork 1-6

Back-to-back monster frees from Coleman. Wide at the other end from Gillane from a tricky angle. But Pat Ryan then flashes a goal effort inches over the bar cutting in from the right.

19:48

HL1A: Limerick 0-17 Cork 1-5

Mark Coleman registers the Leesiders' first point in ten minutes from a long-range free. Nine between the teams after half an hour of hurling.

19:45

HL1A: Limerick 0-17 Cork 1-4

Pat Ryan runs away from goal to create an angle for himself and takes a lovely point to leave ten between them.

19:44

Limerick have registered ten of the last eleven points here. Cork struggling.

19:43

HL1A: Limerick 0-16 Cork 1-4

Corner back Barry Nash provides Lynch with the overlap and takes his point. Gillane and Morrissey tack on two more. Limerick are flying!

19:41

Save!

Cork 'keeper Patrick Collins executes a brilliant diving save to push out Conor Boylan's goalbound left-footed effort. Advantage was being played, though, and Gillane converts the free.

19:40

HL1A: Limerick 0-12 Cork 1-4

The free was from where the sliothar landed and Gillane was never going to miss from there.

19:36

HL1A: Limerick 0-11 Cork 1-4

Declan Dalton despatches a Cork free. He has big boots to fill tonight but that was a nice strike!

19:33

HL1A: Limerick 0-11 Cork 1-3

The gap is five at the first water break. Limerick reeled off five unanswered scores in response to O'Connor's goal. They have also amassed eight wides already.

19:31

HL1A: Limerick 0-11 Cork 1-3

Dubutant Colin Coughlan steals forward from left half back to grab a brilliant brace.

19:30

HL1A: Limerick 0-9 Cork 1-3

Limerick wipe out the goal with three quickfire points. The illusive Peter Casey registers the firs two - a terrific solo point for the second of those before Tom Morrissey adds another one as the holders restore their three-point cushion.

19:27

Goal!

The Rebels are level. Conor Cahalane goes for the top left corner but rattles the crossbar. However, Jack O'Connor is on hand to groundstroke the rebounder first time to the net - 1-3 to 0-6!

19:25

HL1A: Limerick 0-6 Cork 0-3

Shane Kingston doubles the visitors' tally and Conor Cahalane battles through to fire over their third.

19:23

HL1A: Limerick 0-6 Cork 0-1

Cork are all over the place. Lynch is everywhere in these opening phases and he slots his second point in a row.

19:22

HL1A: Limerick 0-5 Cork 0-1

From halfway, Diarmuid Byrnes (free) increases Limerick's lead. A bright start for John Kiely's men sees Lynch tack on another one.

19:20

HL1A: Limerick 0-3 Cork 0-1

Full back Damien Cahalane raids forward to open Cork's account with a lovely point but the Rebels then concede a free, which Gillane nails.

19:18

HL1A: Limerick 0-2 Cork 0-0

A trio of early wides for Limerick in tonight's big Division 1A clash before Aaron Gillane opens the scoring from a third-minute free. William O'Donoghue bangs over the Treaty County's second after a Cian Lynch pass.

19:09

The Rebels are unbeaten from three league outings thus far, while Limerick have yet to win. As this is a dress rehearsal for the championship meeting of the teams in four weeks, there will be no quarter given or asked tonight.

18:54

Team news:

Limerick V Cork throws in at the Gaelic Grounds in just 20 minutes. Both managers have made a late change: Tadgh Deasy replaces Alan Cadogan for Cork, while Conor Boylan gets the nod ahead of David Dempsey for the holders.

18:52

HL1B full time: Dublin 2-23 Clare 0-34

High-scoring Clare leapfrog the Dubs on the table to move into third place - behind Kilkenny and Wexford - with one round remaining.

18:50

HL1B: Dublin 2-23 Clare 0-34

The main is a robot. Kelly grabs his 20th point, this one from a '65'.

18:49

HL1B: Dublin 2-23 Clare 0-33

Burke drops over a free in the second of more minutes of injury time, but surely it's too little, too late for the Dubs?

18:47

HL1B: Dublin 2-22 Clare 0-33

Kelly and Burke swap frees and we reach the 70-minute mark with five between the teams. There will be four added minutes.

18:44

HL1B: Dublin 2-21 Clare 0-32

Kelly and Reidy add to Clare's total and it looks like they are home and hosed here. Burke pulls back a Dublin free but the home side are five behind with as many minutes remaining.

18:40

HL1B: Dublin 2-18 Clare 0-30

Kelly has been unerringly accurate today. He adds on two more to his tally.

18:37

HL1B: Dublin 2-18 Clare 0-28

Impact sub Fitzgerald nails his second from two attempts - that's Clare's fourth unanswered point. With ten minutes left, Burke brings that sequence to an end, firing over a brace from play. Dublin have lost full back O'Donnell to a second yellow card.

18:34

HL1B: Dublin 2-16 Clare 0-27

From great distance, Kelly guides over another free and Clare seem to be in control of this game now.

18:32

HL1B: Dublin 2-16 Clare 0-26

Substitute David Fitzgerald makes an instant contribution, pointing to stretch the gap to four.

18:28

HL1B: Dublin 2-16 Clare 0-25

Kelly plays a one-two with McCarthy and calmly increases Clare's lead. The latter, who is having a superb match, slots his side's 25th score before we pause for the second water break.

18:25

HL1B: Dublin 2-16 Clare 0-23

Kelly's free flies straight between the posts and Eamon Dillon immediately finds the target at the other end.

18:23

HL1B: Dublin 2-15 Clare 0-22

In the twelfth minute of the second half, McCarthy adds to the Banner County tally and Crummey replies.

18:19

HL1B: Dublin 2-14 Clare 0-21

Burke's free is cancelled out by a ridiculous Kelly long-ranger. The former Hurler of the Year continues to show uncanny accuracy, slotting the lead point from another free.

18:15

HL1B: Dublin 2-13 Clare 0-19

Like a pickpocket in the land of the blind, Kelly seizes possession to nick a point, followed quickly by McCarthy's equaliser.

18:13

HL1B: Dublin 2-13 Clare 0-17

Again the retort is instant - Daire Gray drops over a massive point for the hosts.

18:12

HL1B: Dublin 2-12 Clare 0-17

The dangerous Hayes takes his tally to 1-2 with a tidy finish. Shanagher is fouled at the other end and Kelly (0-9) nonchalantly arrows over.

18:10

HL1B: Dublin 2-11 Clare 0-16

Rodgers takes a pass from Galvin and halves the deficit within seconds of the resumption.

18:09

Delicately poised ahead of the restart at Parnell Park, where Clare will have the advantage of the breeze when the action resumes.

17:55

Goals from Hayes and Boland help the Dubs amass a two-point interval advantage.

17:54

HL1B: Dublin 2-11 Clare 0-15

In the first of two added minutes at the end of the first half, Kelly's latest free reduces the arrears.

17:51

HL1B: Dublin 2-11 Clare 0-14

Burke was never going to miss from there. He whips over another free and the gap is three with the short whistle imminent.

17:50

Goal!

But the second Dublin goal does arrive in the 32nd minute as Boland breaks through the Clare defence too easily and finishes emphatically - 2-10 to 0-13! Kelly pulls back another pointed free.

17:49

HL1B: Dublin 1-10 Clare 0-13

Dublin almost net for the second time but instead Kelly equalises from a free at the other end.

17:47

HL1B: Dublin 1-10 Clare 0-12

Within seconds, Hayes forages a point and the Dubs are in front! Great recovery from Mattie Kenny's men.

17:46

Goal!

Ronan Hayes steps inside and blasts to the Clare new to bring the Dubs level - 1-9 to 0-12!

17:45

Yellow cards:

Eoghan O'Donnell and Colm Galvin go into the referee's notebook.

17:44

HL1B: Dublin 0-9 Clare 0-12

The nonsensical non-advantage rule must be gone as O'Donnell is allowed the advantage and spears over a twelfth Clare score. But the hosts respond with scores from Burke (free) and Mark Schutte.

17:41

HL2A full time: Kerry 4-30 Wicklow 1-17

As expected, it's a comprehensive victory for promotion-chasing Kerry in Tralee!

17:40

Goal!

Gary Hughes pulls back a late, late consolation for Wicklow, who trail Kerry by 4-30 to 1-17.

17:39

Aidan McCarthy tacks on a tenth Banner point and Kelly adds the eleventh a few seconds later!

17:39

HL1B: Dublin 0-7 Clare 0-9

Shane O'Donnell makes it a three-point game but Sutcliffe hits back.

17:36

HL1B: Dublin 0-6 Clare 0-8

Fantastic fetch and finish from Aron Shanagher and Clare are back in front. Kelly doubles the difference. With six of the last seven points, the visitors have taken control.

17:34

Goal!

Nathan Guiran buries a fourth Kerry goal against Wicklow - 4-28 to 0-15!

17:33

HL1B: Dublin 0-6 Clare 0-6

17:24

17:21

HL1B: Dublin 0-4 Clare 0-1

Brilliant improvisation from Danny Sutcliffe to double the difference with a great score! Chris Crummey adds another!

HL1B: Dublin 0-2 Clare 0-1

A close-range Donal Burke free sails over and Dublin lead for the first time.

17:18

Goal!

17:17

HL1B: Dublin 0-1 Clare 0-1

Mark Rodgers opens the scoring with a lovely strike. But Dublin equalise quickly through Cian Boland.

17:10

Goal!

A second for Kerry courtesy of Mikey Boyle - 2-22 to 0-8!

16:56

Here's hoping the day's second Division 1B game between Dublin and Clare - which throws in at Parnell Park in about 20 minutes - is half as good as Antrim V Wexford.

16:48

That battling draw for Antrim - allied to their defeat of Clare - means they will remain in the top flight in 2022.

16:46

HL2A half time: Kerry 1-15 Wicklow 0-6

Conway netted in first-half injury time and the Kingdom lead by twelve at the interval.

16:45

HL1B full time: Antrim 1-21 Wexford 2-18

An absorbing contest finishes all-square in West Belfast. That was a truly magnificent game of hurling with a bit of everything. Credit to both sets of players.

16:44

HL1B: Antrim 1-21 Wexford 2-18

Shannon to Molloy and what a point in the tenth added minute!

16:42

HL1B: Antrim 1-20 Wexford 2-18

Liam Og McGovern, who has been magnificent, gets forward to whip over the lead point with eight minutes of stoppage time gone!

16:41

A long-range Chin free tails right and wide...

16:40

HL1B: Antrim 1-20 Wexford 2-17

Chin (free) splits the posts in the sixth of nine additional minutes at the end of this thoroughly entertaining contest.

16:37

We are in the 74th of 79 minutes...

16:35

HL1B: Antrim 1-20 Wexford 2-16

Man of the Match McNaughton restores Antrim's lead but we are going to have NINE minutes of injury time. Just nine, like...

16:34

Save!

Fanning denies Molloy a second Antrim goal - what a dramatic finish here!

16:34

Wide!

Chin misses the resultant free. His radar has been a bit off today...

16:33

Red card!

McManus does pick up his second yellow card with 69 minutes gone, so Wexford and Antrim are both down to 14 men...

16:32

HL2A: Kerry 0-10 Wicklow 0-4

The Kingdom are back in the groove - Conway with their ninth and tenth points, bringing his tally to six.

16:31

HL1B: Antrim 1-19 Wexford 2-16

Chin's free brings the sides level once more with 67 minutes played.

16:29

Goal!

Antrim are in front! Substitute Shea Shannon finishes in style after taking the pass from McManus - 1-19 to 2-15!

16:27

HL1B: Antrim 0-19 Wexford 2-15

Morris nudges the Model County back ahead and they then win a free-in, which Chin fires over after a member of the Wexford backroom team dried the sliothar with a towel.

16:24

HL2A: Kerry 0-5 Wicklow 0-3

Gary Hughes and Christy Moorehouse with Wicklow points either side of the water break in Tralee.

16:23

HL1B: Antrim 0-19 Wexford 2-13

A class finish from Joe O'Connor has the 14 men ahead but fellow sub Ciaran Clarke replies immediately.

16:21

HL1B: Antrim 0-18 Wexford 2-12

Chin equalises from a free in front of the posts. Twelve minutes to go.

16:20

HL1B: Antrim 0-18 Wexford 2-11

A roar from the home crowd as McManus mines the lead point and the sun comes out!

16:17

HL1B: Antrim 0-17 Wexford 2-11

McManus wins the free and Cunning bangs it over to tie the scores up at the second water break.

16:15

McManus extremely fortunate not to get a second yellow card after clattering into Gavin Bailey.

16:14

HL1B: Antrim 0-16 Wexford 2-11

Fanning - from distance - and Cunning exchange frees. Naughton then adds his sixth of the day at the end of a strong run!

16:12

HL2A: Kerry 0-3 Wicklow 0-0

Shane Conway sends over a Kerry '65'.

16:09

HL1B: Antrim 0-14 Wexford 2-10

Cunning (free) knocks over Antrim's fourth successive point. Game on now with Wexford down to 14 men and their manager banished, too...

16:08

Red card!

A bit of a melee in Corrigan Park now. Wexford joint captain Matthew O'Hanlon is red-carded. Not sure why he got involved. Neil McManus got a yellow.

16:04

Chin misses a free at one end; Canning converts his at the other!

16:01

HL1B: Antrim 0-12 Wexford 2-10

Cunning makes no mistake from the free after McKenna was fouled.

15:59

Save!

Elliott does brilliantly to deny Diarmuid O'Keeffe a third Wexford goal. The shot was low into the wet ground but the Antrim goalie got his body behind it. Chin fluffs the '65'.

15:58

HL1B: Antrim 0-11 Wexford 2-10

McDonald and Molloy trade points in the first minute of the second half.

15:56

The players return to the pitch. The second half is coming soon as well as the start of Kerry V Wicklow, which throws in at 4pm.

15:54

Clarification

The mystery of Wexford's second goalscorer has been resolved. Slow motion TV replays show that it was Paul Morris who made the decisive connection!

15:41

HL1B half time: Antrim 0-10 Wexford 2-9

With the rain hammering down, the half-time whistle sounds at Corrigan Park. It was an action-packed opening period, which produced some great scores and the sending-off of the colourful Davy Fitz'.

15:38

HL1B: Antrim 0-10 Wexford 2-9

Chin taps over a free in the third of four added minutes at the end of the second half.

15:38

Off!

A moment of madness from Davy Fitzgerald as he approaches Antrim boss Stephen Gleeson and makes minimal contact with him. The linesman informs the referee, who sends the visiting manager to the stands!

15:36

HL1B: Antrim 0-10 Wexford 2-8

Seconds after that let-off, Chin bags a classy point from play.

15:35

Ooh!

Almost an equalising Antrim goal: Neil McManus nearly collects Mark Fanning's mis-hit restart but can't quite get the sliothar under control.

15:33

HL1B: Antrim 0-10 Wexford 2-7

McNaughton tacks on a pointed free and immediately registers from play, catching the puck-out and whipping it over!

15:31

HL1B: Antrim 0-8 Wexford 2-7

Conor Johnston with a superb fetch and finish for the Glensmen! Half an hour gone here in West Belfast,

15:29

HL1B: Antrim 0-7 Wexford 2-7

I make that five between them for Antrim's two midfielders - McNaughton thumps over his third! Chin replies from a free from the centre of the pitch.

15:26

Save!

Elliott does well to deny Chin. McDonald and Chin are taking turns to trouble Antrim under high deliveries. Molloy is back on the field after an assessment and he arrows one over but McGovern replies.

15:24

HL1B: Antrim 0-5 Wexford 2-5

Aidan Nolan registers a terrific point from distance. An emotional Wexford manager Davy Fitzgerald loses his rag completely disputing a sideline ball being awarded to the hosts.

15:21

HL1B: Antrim 0-5 Wexford 2-4

An easy free for Cunning reduces the gap to five. Wide from Niall McManus.

15:18

HL1B: Antrim 0-4 Wexford 2-4

Soft free to Wexford as Shaun Murphy runs straight into Gerard Walsh, having lost possession - Chin fires it over. The action is paused for the first water break.

15:16

Injured!

15:11

HL1B: Antrim 0-4 Wexford 2-2

McNaughton fights off the attention of Aidan Nolan and strokes over a lovely point on the run.

15:08

Goal!

Wexford have a second major. The dropping sliothar breaks for Lee Chin and he blasts a bullet to the net - 2-2 to 0-3! Or was it Paul Morris who made contact? Both players swung at the same time...

15:07

HL1B: Antrim 0-3 Wexford 1-2

McDonald with the stunning catch, he lays it off to O'Connor, who fires a shot between the uprights. Antrim reply with a monster James McNaughton from from deep inside his own half.

15:04

HL1B: Antrim 0-2 Wexford 1-1

Conal Cunning replies from a free but then fires one wide.

15:02

Goal!

Far too easy for the visitors as Liam Og McGovern picks out the unmarked Conor McDonald, who strikes low past Ryan Elliott to the net - 1-1 to 0-1!

15:01

HL1B: Antrim 0-1 Wexford 0-1

But the lead doesn't last long - Keelan Molloy whips over a great equaliser.

15:00

HL1B: Antrim 0-0 Wexford 0-1

Chin slots a free on 60 seconds and the Model County - wearing dark blue jerseys - are ahead.

14:58

14:41

Here are the teams for the 3pm throw-in at Corrigan Park...

12:52

HL2A:

Bottom-of-the-table Wicklow face a really tough assignment as they travel to Tralee to take on promotion-chasing Kerry (4pm).

12:49

HL1B:

In Group B of Division One, meanwhile, two crunch clashes go down for decision as Antrim welcome Wexford to Corrigan Park for a 3pm start and Clare travel to Parnell Park to meet Dublin at 5:15.

12:47

HL1A:

There's no doubting what the game of the day is! At the Gaelic Grounds at 7:15pm, league holders and reigning All-Ireland champions Limerick do battle with a Cork side that has hit the ground running in 2021.

12:46

We are into June and the league matches keep coming thick and fast, with four vital national hurling league Round Four games taking place today.
