Allianz Hurling League Division 2A round 3 - Round-up
Carlow 0-13 Kerry 0-20
Kerry travelled to Netwatch Cullen Park and came away with the points after a starring performance from Shane Conway.
Carlow started this game well and led by four points mid-way through the first half. By after Diarmuid Byrne missed a penalty, and Conway followed it up with a pointed free, that gap was down to a point.
The sides were level at the break, and things were still close when Eric Leen was sent off for a second yellow on 51 minutes.
Going down to 14 men however seemed to lift the Munster men, who outscored Carlow from there on in by 0-06 to 0-02 to claim their second win of the campaign.
Down 0-22 Kildare 2-17
Kildare did the majority of their scoring in the first half at Ballycran as they inflicted a first league defeat on Down.
Two Jack Sheridan goals had them 14 points clear with 25 minutes on the clock as they made use of a strong breeze. The lead was out to 15 at the break, as the Lillies looked like they could win by a massive amount.
The Mourne men gradually worked their way back into the game with points from Conor Woods, Chris Egan and Tom Murray as Kildare struggled for scores.
Ultimately a late point from Sheridan proved to be the critical score as Down fell just short of earning an astonishing draw.
Meath 1-15 Westmeath 4-23
Westmeath were big winners at Páirc Tailteann as they took the points. 14 up at the break, the Lake County didn't relax after the interval as they left things finally poised in Division 2A.
Niall Mitchell scored a brace of majors in the first half, before Killian Doyle added a third. Eoin Keyes added their fourth late on to help Joe Fortune's side into a share of the lead at the top of the table.

Allianz Hurling League Division 2B round 3
Sligo 1-24 London 1-15
Sligo were victorious at the Connacht GAA Centre of Excellence as they pulled away late on to defeat London.
London burst out of the blocks to lead by four points early on, and the gap was still two at half time. Sligo upped things upon the resumption, and Tomas Cawley's goal pushed them five clear with just over 15 minutes to go, as both sides had a player sent off for an off the ball incident.
A late goal for Risteard Lombard was too little, too late for the Exiles as the Connacht side took the points.
Wicklow 3-08 Donegal 2-16
Donegal condemned Wicklow to another defeat as they emerged five-point winners from Aughrim.
On his 100th appearance for his county, Ronan McDermott scored a goal, as did Bernard Lafferty, to leave the Ulstermen 11 points clear at the break.
Wicklow put up a fight, scoring 2-03 without reply at the start of the second half. But David Flynn helped Donegal to see the game out, adding 2-02 before the end.
Derry 4-24 Mayo 1-14
Derry have joined Donegal on six points from three games after proving far too strong for Mayo at Celtic Park.
With the help of a breeze, The Oak Leaf side were well ahead at the break thanks to a goal from John Mullan (2-15 to 1-04).
And they never let up after the break as Declan Foley added a further goal as they pushed home their advantage.
