Derry get off to a flying start
 By LARRY COONEY
Roscommon 1-12 Derry 3-13
A goal 40 seconds into the second-half by Derry’s Gregory Biggs
killed off any chance Roscommon had of causing a surprise at Knockcroghery.
The prolific Biggs ended up with a tally of 1-9 as Derry picked up their
first win of the current campaign.
Dublin 5-23 Wicklow 1-7
Top-of-the-table played bottom in this one-sided Parnell Park encounter
with the result never in doubt.
Wicklow got off to a dreadful start when their goalkeeper Joe Driver had
to leave the field injured. After that it just got worse.
Dublin’s Kevin Flynn picking up a hat-trick as Dublin continue to
impress.
Meath 0-13 Carlow 0-8
Not a game for the hurling purists but Meath won’t mind as they
maintain their 100 per cent record in Division 2A.
Down to 14 men with half-an-hour left the Royals had to dig deep to shake
off Carlow. Stephen Clynch’s red card for an off-the-ball incident
was the only down side to a successful day for Meath.
DIVISION 2B Round up:
Kerry 0-15 Mayo 2-5
After their narrow win over London Kerry made it two wins out of two to
top the table. Despite being down by 1-4 to 0-05 at the break Kerry dug
deep thanks to the reliable Shane Brick to emerge victorious.
Kildare 1-10 Westmeath 1-14
Westmeath got their league campaign off to a flyer to impose
Kildare’s second defeat of the campaign.
Much is expected from the Lillywhites this year but good work from John
Shaw ensured Kildare remained propping up the table.
