Dioralyte Walsh Cup Round One
Dublin 0-23 Carlow 0-17
Wexford 1-20 Laois 0-17
Adverse weather conditions impacted Sunday's schedule significantly, but Dublin and Wexford triumphed in the two matches that were played.
An impressive second half display ensured Dublin prevailed against Carlow at SETU Carlow Camps.
Dublin were 0-13 to 0-11 ahead at the interval following a keenly contested opening period.
After the restart, Dublin seized the initiative as Dara Purcell, Diarmaid Ó Dulaing, and Liam Mostyn fired over crucial points. Ó Dulaing was in splendid form for Dublin, clipping 0-11, including five from play.
That Dublin burst guided Niall Ó Ceallacháin's charges seven clear and Carlow, who had been level at 0-11 each in the 28th minute, couldn't recover.

Scores from Eamon Wickham, Simon Roche, and Ross Banville mattered as Keith Rossiter's outfit prevailed.
