Leading lights start to blow off cobwebs

I fancied one of the Division 1A games would be a draw this week and I was right, with Clare and Galway finishing all square in Ennis.

Unfortunately though that wasn't the game I picked! I went for a share of the spoils between Kilkenny and Waterford, I could hardly have been more wrong with the Cats securing a 4-22 to 0-14 win.

Kilkenny are getting the heavy artillery ready just as the biggest battles are about to commence. They meet Wexford in their quarter-final and even in Wexford Park there's going to be only one result there.
