Farrell pounces as Kilkenny weather storm

Kilkenny survived a late Wexford rally to advance from their Camogie League Division 1 semi-final in Waterford by 2-7 to 1-7.

Kilkenny held the upper hand in the opening period, at the end of which they led by 1-5 to 0-3. They laid the platform for that margin by getting off to a lightning start with four points from Denise Gaule and a Michelle Quilty goal.

Ursula Jacob and Katrina Parrock did manage to hit a couple of points for Wexford and, with the wind at their backs in the second half, would not have been without hope at half-time.
