CAMOGIE NATIONAL LEAGUE:WEXFORD TOP Group Two after defeating Cork 0-10 to 1-4 while qualifying for the league final against Tipperary or Kilkenny on April 25th. Cork needed to win to force a three-way play-off that would involve Galway, Cork and Wexford.

However, forced to line out minus the injured Mary O’Connor was a big blow to their ambitions.

Wexford, playing with the wind, led 0-8 to 1-1 at the break as Áine Codd and Mary Leacy shone in the half-back line. Kate Kelly was in good form at midfield scoring five points. Gemma O’Connor netted the Cork goal on 25 minutes.

Elsewhere, Laois beat Offaly 2-6 to 1-5, thus guaranteeing their place in next weekend’s Division Three final against Down. Maggie Hogan bagged the goals.
