Netball World Cup: Wales beat Ireland 33-76 to keep qualification hopes alive

Welsh Feathers kept alive their Netball World Cup qualification hopes with a comfortable 76-33 win over the Republic of Ireland.

With the top two sides in a four-team qualification tournament – which also includes Scotland and Northern Ireland – heading to next year’s World Cup in Sydney, Wales had to win here after a shock defeat by Warriors in their opening game.

Wales dominated from the off, and the game really got away from Ireland when they conceded nine unanswered goals to start the second quarter, and found themselves 12-41 down by half-time.

And though the Emeralds improved after the midway point, they left themselves with too great a gap to close, and failed to outscore Wales in any quarter.

Scotland beat the Republic of Ireland in their opener and face Northern Ireland later on Saturday.

Wales round out their qualification bid against Scotland on Sunday, 27 September with Republic of Ireland facing Northern Ireland on the same day.
