Derry Camogs fall to a heavy defeat in Kilkenny

Glen Dimplex Camogie All-Ireland Senior Championship

Group 1: 

Kilkenny 4-17

Derry 0-7

There were just two more scores in the opening half – points each from Aoife Doyle and Katie Nolan – and Derry were playing reasonably well without getting the scores to show for their work.

Barton pointed twice in the opening four minutes of the second half, but Doyle hit the net in the 36^th minute and Kilkenny quickly made it 2-15 to 0-5 by the end of the third quarter.

A double strike from Aoife Prendergast in the 49^th and 41^st minutes then sealed a comprehensive win for Kilkenny.
