GAA/National Hurling League round-up:Tipperary's Shane Bourke threw the race for Division One honours wide open as he claimed a hat-trick of goals in a personal haul of 3-4 as the Premier County hammered Galway by 18 points (4-23 to 1-14) at Pearse Stadium.
The result leaves Kilkenny on top after their draw with Dublin on Saturday night, with Galway and Dublin both on eight. Tipperary and Waterford, who beat Offaly 2-19 to 1-19, are both on seven points going into the last round of games.
Wexford kept their hopes of survival alive with a 1-16 to 1-15 victory over Cork at Wexford Park, their first win of the campaign. They are now level on two points with Offaly, but having lost their head-to-head match they know they must beat Tipperary away in the final round of matches and hope Offaly go under away to Kilkenny if they want to stay up.
Limerick continued their unbeaten run in Division Two with a 1-24 to 1-9 success over Kerry at Kilmallock. Westmeath are related to Division 3B.
