Cork caught them once in the Gaelic Grounds but barring that slip-up, the Treaty were ravenous. Seamus Flanagan laid down a marker their first day out down in Wexford Park and they kept up that aggression and intensity right up until the final whistle in Croke Park on Sunday.
Aaron Gillane has been their top scorer and their main man, he's been the player of this League campaign.
Waterford will have been disappointed with their final performance but overall, Paraic Fanning will take lots of positives from his first League campaign in charge.

Aonghus Clarke was the player of Division 2A, leading Westmeath to glory while Marty Kavanagh stood tall for Carlow at some crucial moments.
All said and done, here's our team of the National Hurling League.
