Kilkenny 2-16

Galway have qualified for the 2011 All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship semi-finals, which are fixed for August 13, after an impressive 0-12 to 0-9 victory over Kilkenny on Saturday.

For long periods the outcome was in doubt, but in the end Kilkenny turned on the style as they crucified the Tipperary challenge.

Following Kilkenny’s comprehensive victories over both Offaly and Dublin, the matches keep coming thick and fast. However, they certainly do not come tougher than defending All-Ireland senior champions and National League champions Wexford in Wexford Park on Saturday at 5pm.

It had the potential of a downfall, but Kilkenny were always in control and they safely steered to a 12-point victory over a gallant Offaly as the All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship got under way.

There was disappointment for the Kilkenny senior camogie girls as they were caught by a late Galway flurry in Nowlan Park last Sunday as their league hopes were ended. Kilkenny led by four points at the interval —1-6 to 0-5 and a 45th minute goal from Shelley Farrell followed by a close range free by Aoife Neary restored that four point gap.

Nowlan Park is the setting next Sunday afternoon, when the Irish Daily Star National Camogie league semi-finals take place. Kilkenny are first in the arena at 2pm against Galway, followed at 3.45pm by Tipperary’s clash with defending League/All-Ireland champions Wexford.
