WATERFORD’S BREAKTHROUGH WIN last May brought an end to an era of Kilkenny dominance in the Allianz hurling league.

And the last two champions will face off in the opening round of the 2016 competition next Sunday afternoon.
Cork, Dublin, Galway and Tipperary are the other Division 1A sides in the mix while Clare and Limerick are best fancied amongst the bookmakers from the Division 1B teams.
But who do you think will receive a pre-championship boost in May?
Let us know.
