It will be interesting to see how Waterford treat the league this year with all that behind them. They will also going into this season without stalwart forward Pauric Mahony, which adds another layer to the challenge that lies before them. Laois defeated Antrim in the league last year, meaning both teams racked up one win between them in the 2022 campaign. Antrim did give Kilkenny a scare in their opening game, losing out narrowly by 2-15 to 3-9 at Nowlan. A win there could certainly have altered the trajectory of their league run.Laois suffered a similar fate in their Round 1 tie against Tipperary, falling just four points short of a shock win against another team of hurling royalty.
There’s a new order in Kilkenny as Derek Lyng steps in to take over as manager from the great Brian Cody, who held the role for 24 inter-county seasons. Lyng is likely to begin his stint without some key regulars while some of the Ballyhale Shamrocks players take a break following their All-Ireland triumph.
They last reached the Division 1 final in 2011 where they were convincing winners against Kilkenny. The 2022 league was largely positive for Dublin, picking up three wins, one draw and one defeat in their series of games.Nations Analysis Get Murray Kinsella’s exclusive analysis of Ireland’s Six Nations campaign this springThey contested the 2021 Leinster SHC final but last year’s competition produced mixed results as they failed to advance out of the provincial series.
A lukewarm stretch in Division 1B followed by an unfortunate slide in a winless Munster hurling championship makes 2022 a year to forget for Tipperary. Colm Bonnar was “relieved from his duties” after just one year as manager, bringing their season to a miserable close.
