A Donal Burke inspired Dublin proved far too strong for a youthful Galway outfit at Parnell Park.

The prolific Burke scored 0-18 as Dublin cruised to a convincing 3-29 to 0-19 success over Henry Shefflin's team at the Donnycarney venue.

Goals from Rian McBride, Chris Crummey, and substitute Paul Crummey ensured it was a demoralising afternoon in the capital for Galway.

Mattie Kenny's Dublin settled quickly to accumulate a healthy 1-16 to 0-8 interval advantage.

Galway introduced the Mannion brothers, Padraic and Cathal, but Dublin continued to dominate the game.

Emmet Landy's first half goal proved to be a crucial score as Kilkenny edged out Laois 1-27 to 0-24.

Landy contributed handsomely in Callan for Brian Cody's experimental side scoring 1-2.

With Ross King prominent for Laois, the visitors moved 0-13 to 1-9 in front at the interval.

Kilkenny subs Robbie Buckley and Thomas Donnelly were influential for Kilkenny, who face Wexford next Saturday.

Offaly pounced to score three goals during a hard earned 3-18 to 0-21 success over a spirited Antrim.

Luke Nolan grabbed an early major for Offaly and added a second in the first half.

Eimhin Kelly added a third goal for Offaly, who went in protecting a commanding 3-12 to 0-10 interval advantage.

Neil McManus rifled over six second half points for Antrim, who narrowed the gap, but Offaly held on.

All Ireland hurling champions Limerick set up a Munster Hurling Cup decider against Clare following a comprehensive 4-29 to 0-11 triumph over Kerry.

Pat Ryan (2), David Reidy, Adam English netted goals for John Kiely's charges, who led 1-18 to 0-6 at the break.

The accurate Reidy scored 1-14, while Ryan concluded the contest with 2-3 as Limerick controlled the match.

On Saturday at Cusack Park Clare prevailed against Waterford, emerging 2-24 to 1-22 victors.

Mark Rodgers and Shane Meehan netted goals for Brian Lohan's side, who were 1-10 to 0-10 ahead at half-time.

Rodgers' 26th minute major was a vital score, while substitute Meehan carried a potent threat in the closing stages.

Austin Gleeson finished strongly for Waterford clipping 1-4 in the dying moments, but Clare recorded a satisfying success.
