Cork, Wexford and Galway got off to a fast start in the 2022 GAA Allianz Hurling League Roinn 1 Group A, each winning their first two games. Clare, Limerick and Offaly were yet to gain a point after two rounds.

In Group B, Tipperary got off to a 100% record with wins over Laois and Kilkenny, while Dublin and Waterford were on 3 points having drawn with each other and defeated Antrim and Laois respectively. Kilkenny had won their first game versus Antrim, but lost to Tipp.

Round 2 Recap

Cork and Wexford continued their 100% records in Group A, Cork with a big 2-19 to 1-13 win over Munster rivals Limerick, and Wexford with a two goal victory (2-15 to 0-15) over Galway. Clare got their first win of the season (4-20 to 0-16) in a huge win over Offaly.

In Group B Waterford moved to five points and the Group lead with a close 3-21 to 2-22 defeat of still pointless Antrim, while Kilkenny remained hot on their heels with a big 2-28 to 0-17 over the also pointless Laois. Dublin meanwhile joined Waterford on five points after handing the Premier County their first defeat of the campaign. Reference: [2-4]

Round 4 Recap

In Group A Clare and Limerick drew 0-18 each, Limerick picking up their first points of the season in the process, and the Banner County moving on to three points. Cork and Wexford, meanwhile, both won their fourth on the trot, Cork by a goal and three points over Galway, who remained on four points, and Wexford by seven points over Offaly who remained pointless.

Meanwhile in Group B, a big match between Dublin and Kilkenny saw the Dubs beaten for the first time this season, going down 0-16 to 2-23 to Kilkenny. Waterford took over sole possession of first place with a 1-28 to 0-21 points defeat of Tipperary and Laois had the narrowest of win against Antrim, by 1-20 to 1-19 in a battle between two winless counties. Reference: [2-4]

Round 5 Recap

Wexford went undefeated through the Allianz Hurling League Roinn 1 Group A campaign, winning their fifth in a row with a 1-22 to 1-17 win over Cork, who qualified to meet Group B winners Kilkenny in the Semi-Finals. Offaly were consigned to the Relegation playoffs after losing for the fifth time, 0-17 to 4-29 in a hammering by Limerick who earned their first win of the campaign. In the third game of Group A Galway had a narrow two point victory over Clare.

Group B winners Kilkenny had a two goal cushion in the end over Waterford (2-21 to 0-21) in their last game to hand the Deise their first defeat, although Waterford still qualified to meet South East rivals Wexford in the other Semi-Final. Antrim play Offaly in the relegation playoff after a heavy 0-17 to 7-28 defeat to Tipperary who finished fourth in Group B with three wins and two losses. Dublin defeated Laois in the other Group B game 2-31 to 1-24 but the Waterford men’s Points Differential was far superior (+39 to +2) after both counties finished on seven points. [References: 2-4]
