Jason Flynn's 1-9 haul eased All-Ireland title holders Galway to an anticipated victory at Parnell Park, setting up an Allianz hurling league promotion shoot-out with Limerick next weekend.

They started without over half of their All-Ireland winning team but victory still came easily for Tipperary at Croke Park where they streaked to a 16-point opening round Allianz Hurling League win.

Wexford 1-17 Dublin 0-17: Three late unanswered points handed Wexford a deserved victory over Dublin in this Walsh Cup game played at Hollymount last night.
