After the restart Farrell, Richie Leahy (2), and Richie Hogan added goals for a dominant Kilkenny.

Jack Galvin netted a goal for Westmeath in Kinnegad as the midlanders’ eventually overcame DCU’s spirited resistance.

Davy Fitzgerald’s Wexford chalked up a second successive victory at Netwatch Cullen Park. Second half goals from Paul Morris (2) and Podge Doran were decisive for Wexford, who finished strongly.

Colm Bonnar's Carlow produced a spirited first half with four Denis Murphy points helping them into a 0-10 to 0-9 interval advantage against Wexford.

The complexion changed significantly in the second period with Wexford seizing control after a smart 38th minute Morris goal.

In Group 4 Offaly and IT Carlow played out an entertaining draw at Birr, while Meath shaded a good game with Kildare by a point.
