WYW will be pleased to have overcome another hurdle in their attempt to retain the league title as they accounted for a game Kilkenny side in Buckley Park this afternoon. WYW made a couple of changes from the XI which started against Shels and went with Tamara, Nicola, Jess, Lolly, Linda, Kylie, Becky, Edel, Emma and with Lauren helping Claire up front. WYW started well but didn't get on the scoresheet early until with 20 minutes gone they were awarded a penalty. A dodgy one it looked as well with the lino putting his flag up for a WYW offside then taking it down as a second WYW player approached the ball inside the KK area who was bundled over. The referee did consult but maintained his decision and Kylie Murphy sent Coffey in the Kilkenny goal the wrong way for 1-0. Five minutes later, a poor KK kick-out led to a second WYW goal as Claire O'Riordan set up Linda Douglas who finished well from outside the area to the top left-hand corner for 2-0. With just ten minutes to go in the half, Claire O'Riordan took advantage of a free header to put WYW 3-0 up and this remained the position at half-time.
