Division 1B Wexford v Antrim Wexford Park Sunday 2pm
Wexford were the story of the Championship last season but they must kick on in 2015 under Liam Dunne. They begin their league campaign at home to an Antrim side who finished bottom of the table in 2014
Wexford missed out on the latter stages of the Walsh Cup and so have had the best part of a month to get ready for Sunday's clash. The addition of Daithi Waters to the starting line up should give the side an added edge up front and with Jack Guiney and Liam Og Mc Govern looking to develop even further, Wexford should record an opening day win in their bid for promotion.
Limerick v Waterford Gaelic Grounds Saturday 7pm
This is the first meeting of these sides since the Munster championship of 2011. Derek McGrath has committed to a radical overhaul of the Waterford panel and it will be interesting to see how it works out for the Deise.
Limerick know better than anyone that one slip-up in Division 1B and your promotion hopes can vanish. A draw on day one against Cork, which was initially seen as a very good result, and a second disastrous draw with Offaly scuppered their chances of automatic promotion last year. Gavin O'Mahony is allowed play having missed last week's club win for Kilmallock over Portaferry due to suspension and he should help the Shannonsiders to get their bid for promotion of to a positive start.
Laois v Offaly Portlaoise Saturday 7pm
A local derby is always a good way to start off the league and they don't come much more heated that these midland rivals. Offaly hurling sunk to an all-time low in 2014 but it seems that after a winter of discontent, Brian Whelehan and his charges are going much better so far in 2015.
Seamus 'Cheddar' Plunkett's Laois side were one of the teams of 2014 and a push for promotion from 1B could set them up nicely for a crack at causing a Leinster shock in the summer. Despite the loss to Dublin in the Walsh Cup, they showed enough promise for them to get a win on Saturday night against their neighbours.Antrim GAA deny allegations from senior hurlers as row rages on
Turmoil up North! Antrim GAA have released a lengthy statement in response to a letter sent from the senior hurling team. Following the county’s Joe McDonagh Cup loss to Laois last week, the players were under the belief that manager Davy Fitzgerald was being removed from his position, only for that decision to be reversed.
