Higgins guides Goldsmiths to first adult football titleWestmeath LGFA Junior Championship finalGoldsmiths 1-12 Tyrrellspass 0-9A masterclass of free-taking and defending at the other end gave Goldsmiths their first adult title as they defeated Tyrrellspass in the Westmeath LGFA Junior Championship final with six points to spare in an entertaining clash in Kinnegad on Sunday. Amy Alford and Higgins (a fifth free in less than 20 minutes) exchanged scores before Ciara Foxe added a crucial score moments later. Higgins' free into a sea of bodies eventually found the net when Foxe slid in ahead of O’Brien and other defenders to poke the ball home. Goldsmiths: Aisling English; Ellen McCabe, Eva Fitzpatrick, Grace Park; Ciara Irwin, Cara Fitzpatrick, Megan Hanley; Deborah Kenneally, Sinéad Seery; Rebecca Higgins, Ciara Foxe, Lisa Seery; Laura Madden, Emma Tumelty, Aoife Mulligan.
