Welsh Feathers kept alive their Netball World Cup qualification hopes with a comfortable 76-33 win over the Republic of Ireland.<\/b><\/p>\n

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<\/a> in their opening game.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Scotland beat the Republic of Ireland in their opener and face Northern Ireland later on Saturday. <\/p>\n

Wales round out their qualification bid against Scotland on Sunday, 27 September with Republic of Ireland facing Northern Ireland on the same day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
