Kilkenny top the table on nine points with Offaly, Galway and Dublin next on eight points. Tipperary and Galway have seven each.

The last round of games sees Kilkenny at home to Offaly, Galway travel to Walsh Park to play Waterford, Tipp entertain Wexford in Thurles and Dublin face a trip to Cork. Wexford’s victory against Cork yesterday has kept their hopes alive of avoiding the drop. They need to defeat Tipp and hope Offaly lose to Kilkenny.
