Hurling Division 1B round-up: Leinster opener more important than league final, says Dublin boss

Elsewhere Wexford's big 3-29 to 1-14 win over Kildare didn't yield promotion but was a significant statement ahead of the teams' rematch in the Leinster SHC on April 18, in Kildare.

Niall Ó Ceallacháin says the opportunity to win a rare piece of national silverware with Dublin is significant but still not as important as their Leinster SHC opener with Offaly.

Last season's All-Ireland semi-finalists had 15 different scorers as they roared to a 14-point, 0-34 to 2-14 win over Carlow, locking down second position in the Division 1B table.
