Well we can finally catch breath after another frantic day of action in the Allianz Leagues.

First up, Waterford cut loose to wallop Antrim hurlers 2-23 to 0-11 in today's BBC streamed offering but while there was no drama at Corrigan Park, it was a very different story as David Clifford's three goals earned Kerry a dramatic 3-13 to 2-13 comeback win over Tyrone in the Division One Football clash at Pomeroy.

Then we had a rather extraordinary Division One football contest at a windswept Salthill when Galway - exemplified by man of the match Shane Walsh - used the elements brilliantly in the first half to lead 0-17 to 0-1 at the interval.

However, Matthew Tierney's red card just before the break gave Donegal a smidgen of hope but while the home side had two further black cards, the visitors could never get closer than the seven-point margin which was the end result as Galway held on to win 0-21 to 0-14.

In Division Two, Down's relegation woes increased as they were edged out 2-17 to 0-22 by Louth in Drogheda while Cavan boosted their hopes of avoiding the drop by coming from 12 points down at half-time to beat Westmeath 1-22 to 0-21 at Mullingar.

In Division Three, a Garvan Jones point earned Fermanagh a 1-13 to 3-6 win over Mickey Harte's Offaly which boosts the Ernemen's hopes of getting into the promotion picture.

Thanks for your company today. We'll back back at it next weekend.

Galway inflict a first Division One defeat of the season on Donegal, with most of the damage done in a dominant first half in which Jim McGuinness' side scored only one point.

Odhran Doherty smashes home a third successive point for Donegal, but it is looking like too little too late.

Shane O'Donnell and Daire O Baoill add points for Donegal. O Baoill's was an impressive looping point from distance that Connor Gleeson had to tip over the crossbar.

John Maher tags on another point for Galway after they work the ball well from defence to attack to stretch their lead to 10 points again.

Back under way at Salthill.

Connor Gleeson replaces Conor Flaherty for Galway and Donegal make three changes.

A first half that firmly belonged to Galway, who courtesy of a number of two-pointers, built up a big lead.

Donegal finally got off the mark on 29 minutes and started to come into the game.

Jim McGuinness will want more in the second half, especially now that Galway are a man down after Tierney's dismissal.

Matthew Tierney is sent off for barging into Hugh McFadden just before half-time and looks bewildered with the decision.

That will change the dynamic of the game in the second half.
