So pre-match predictions then, who do you fancy in tonight’s two games?

Cracking save by Anthony Nash from a piledriver from Waterford’s Patrick Curran after he was played through by Jake Dillon.

Neat point by Jamie Barron as Waterford cleverly work a free short.

Waterford 0-5 Cork 0-4
Signs of a Cork revival as Brian Lawton sticks over a point. They can’t afford to let Waterford get clear on the scoreboard early on.

Waterford 0-7 Cork 0-4
23 mins – Shane Bennett won’t forget Páirc Uí Rinn as a venue. Last June, he finished his Leaving Cert on 17 June at 5pm, travelled 60km to Cork and won the man-of-the-match award as Waterford U21′s soundly defeated Cork. He’s back at the same stadium tonight and has just won a free that Shanahan converted.

Dublin 0-9 Galway 0-4
27 mins – Much better stuff on home turf from Dublin on this Saturday night. Treacy extends their lead to five.

Sub: Tommie Larkins clubman Colm Flynn is into the Galway defence for the injured Fergal Moore.

Waterford 0-11 Cork 0-6
33 mins – Patrick Curran is really looking like a prospect that is going to enhance Waterford’s fortunes this year, available from the outset of their league campaign. Showed good alertness to win a ball that came in towards the goal, darted clear of the Cork defence and finished off his point.

Half-Time: Waterford 0-11 Cork 0-7

Dublin 0-9 Galway 0-6
32 mins – Four points now tonight for Joe Canning.

Let’s catch up on the rest of today’s GAA action so far:

• UCD are Sigerson Cup champions for the first time in 20 years.
• Oisin McConville guided Dundalk IT to the Trench Cup.
• Evan Niland starred as Presentation College Athenry were crowned Connacht senior hurling champions.
• Ardscoil Rís are Dr Harty Cup champions after a final win over Our Lady’s Templemore.

Stephen Moylan and Alan Cadogan are in to the Cork team for Daniel Kearney and William Leahy, who endured a disappointing league debut but was admittedly not supplied with the best deliveries into attack.

Back underway for the second-half action.

Waterford 0-13 Cork 0-7
36 mins – Waterford explode out of the blocks with Shane Bennett hauled down and Maurice Shanahan points. Then Colin Dunford launches one over from distance.

Waterford 0-17 Cork 0-10
50 mins – Cork need to string together some scores in succession. Brian Lawton grabs a point.

Waterford’s confidence levels look to be soaring high, they’ll go top of the Division 1A table on their own tonight if they hold on for victory here.

Waterford 0-18 Cork 0-12
55 mins – Alan Cadogan has looked lively and persistent since coming on at the break. He swings over a point off his left for Cork.

60 mins – Galway cut the gap to eight.

Bit of confusion over whether that last point from Dunford is going to stand for Waterford.

Red card for Waterford’s Maurice Shanahan for a strike off the ball.

Dublin 1-16 Galway 0-12
63 mins – David Burke raises a white flag but it looks like it’ll take something special for Galway to salvage something here.

Waterford 0-20 Cork 0-14
66 mins – But Austin Gleeson makes a major statement by nailing a long-range free. Waterford go six clear again.

And a red card now for Cork’s Alan Cadogan!

Goal for Cork from Patrick Horgan!

Couple of yellow cards brandished now with Cork’s Cian McCarthy and Waterford’s Shane Fives the culprits.
