Waterford moved clear at the top of Division 1A of the National Camogie League with a 1-16 to 0-9 win over Antrim in Ballymena on Saturday.
The Deise recorded their third-straight victory of the campaign to deny the Saffrons a repeat of their shock win over Cork in round two.
Elaine Dowds' side almost got off to a flying start when Janey McIntosh broke through, but Waterford goalkeeper Brianna O'Regan was equal to the effort.
The visitors soon seized control with Niamh Rockett setting them on their way and they would then grab a rather fortuitous goal as Lorraine Bray's shot which Antrim goalkeeper Caitriona Graham appeared to parry, but the ball was adjudged to have crossed the line.
Waterford added three further points before Nicole McAtamney opened Antrim's account with the first of her seven points, but would later see a penalty fly over the crossbar.
Waterford would lead 1-7 to 0-4 at the break with Rockett and Bray on target and the gap was six after 43 minutes when Lucia McNaughton pointed for the hosts with their only score from play.
However, Waterford would control the final stages to claim a comfortable win.
In Division Two, Dery's promotion hopes suffered a blow with defeat by Meath, while Donegal and Monaghan fell to defeats in 3B.
