Two very early goals settled any nerves for WYW against Cork today and ensured that the home team got to the final of this new competition. WYW made one change from the team which started with UCD Waves with Shauna Wall coming in and went with Mary Rose, Nicola, Ruth, Edel, Ciara, Shauna, Emma, Kylie, Aisling and with Claire and Carol up front. Playing with a good breeze, WYW scored with their first attack when Kylie Murphy dinked a delicate chip over the Cork keeper to put Youths one up. Four minutes later, WYW went two up when Carol Breen held off a defender when gathering a WYW throw-in and stuck it past the Cork keeper from close to the end-line. Wexford were looking yards quicker than their opponents due probably to the work they did for the Champions League. The third goal came on 27 minutes when the excellent Emma Hansberry let a 40 yard free kick sail on the breeze and into the top corner for 3-0. A minute before half-time, Shauna Wall hit a cross/shot at the far post from her left wing, and it nestled just inside the far post for 4-0. Mary Rose hadn't had a save to make during the first period and it looked like a very lost cause for a game Cork side in the second half.
