Carlow claimed top spot in Division 2A of the Allianz Hurling League with wins also for Kerry and Derry in Sunday's Round 2 games.

London lost Peter Phelan to a red card 11 minutes after the restart, and although outscoring their opponents in the second half with Gaffney adding four points and Luke Hands scoring two, the game had long been over as a contest.

However, Weir responded with his second goal from the visitors on their way to a 17-point win.
At Owenbeg, Derry were pushed all the way for a 2-15 to 3-10 win over Westmeath.
A late Declan Foley goal earned victory for the hosts in a tight encounter, as the Oak Leafers claimed victory over the Midlanders for the second year in a row.
Derry led by 1-09 to 1-06 at half-time, with Alan Grant netting their goal.
The hosts moved five points clear on the restart, but Westmeath never gave up, with Niall Dowdall registering their second goal.
A brace of Brendan Murtagh frees levelled the game in the 53rd minute, with an Alan Devine goal helping Westmeath to a late lead, only for Foley to rescue the league points for the hosts at the death.
