Semi-final went to form with Wexford gaining an easy victory against Kilkenny in Ferrycarrig this afternoon. Gary Hunt made two changes from the XI which started against UCD with Aoibhin Webb and Kylie Murphy starting and went with Sophie, Nicola, Jess, Lauren, Amy, Linda, Becky, Kylie, Aisling and Aoibhin and Claire up front. Wexford started very well and created some good chances early on with Aoibhin, Becky and Claire going close. The only surprise was that it took Wexford so long to get their first when Aoibhin knocked home a good cross by Aisling Frawley for 1-0 to WYW after half an hour. Kilkenny had their first shot on goal just after this when a volley went a couple of feet above Sophie Lenehan's goal. It was more or less one-way traffic from then on with Wexford dominating possession. Wexford went 2-0 up on 35 minutes when an excellent Murphy in the Kilkenny goal prevented Claire O'Riordan from scoring, but Aoibhin Webb was on hand to knock home the rebound. Claire O'Riordan then made it 3-0 with a tap-in at the far post from a corner and then got her second right on the half-time whistle when she robbed the last Kilkenny defender and buried it past Murphy for4-0 at half-time.
