Allianz Hurling League week 2 round-up

Only eight teams are on full points after two rounds of the Allianz hurling League.

Tipperary (1A) and Wexford (1B) are the only Allianz Hurling League Division 1 counties with two wins, where Kilkenny (1A) and Offaly (1B) are the only teams still without a point.

 

Kildare (2A), Meath, Wicklow (2B), Monaghan (3A), Warwickshire, Longford (3B) have all won their first two games.

 

All-Ireland champions, Tipperary, have made the best possible start in 1A, beating Dublin and Waterford while building an impressive points difference total of 22. Clare, Cork, Waterford and Dublin are all on two points, while Kilkenny prop up the table.

 

All divisions except 3A take a break next weekend. In the Allianz Hurling League Division 3A, Tyrone will be at home to Donegal (both have won one of two games) and leaders Monaghan face Louth, who have lost their first two games.
