MAYO’S KEITH HIGGINS played an integral role as the county’s senior hurlers won the Division 2B hurling title and earned promotion to Division 2A this weekend.
Higgins is more commonly known as a key player for the Mayo footballers, but he is also a talented hurler and the Ballyhaunis native has been focusing on the small ball game during the league.
Mayo defeated Down at Kingspan Breffni to become Division 2B champions on Sunday, with dual-star Higgins producing a fine display in the Mayo attack which included a superb point from a sideline cut.
It remains to be seen if he will return to Stephen Rochford’s football panel later in the season.

Kenny Feeney was another star performer for the Mayo side.
He was their main scoring threat and he finished up with a tally of 0-11, including seven second half points as part of the 1-15 0-14 victory over Down.

Being honest, think cleary would have ben a better man for the job but we will see…
2 more years without sam then….
Up the Dubs
Your muppet. But I love the way yourself and Steve are so fascinated with cork! LOVE IT!!!!!!
I don’t have a muppet
I’m glad you love it Patrick. Love is in the air!!!!
Spot on again Nelly. It’s only non Cork people who can’t admit to that and also can’t see how they are the laughing stock of the GAA world now as they can’t fight like men for promotion but instead have to get their daddy (Frank Murphy) to mind them and get them a free pass so they don’t throw all their toys out of the pram, again!!
Sure didn’t the Kilkenny CB support the new league proposals, Steve. Did you take it up with them them instead of spamming this place with your repetitive drivel or were Ned Quinn & Co. too busy concocting conspiracy theories ? And Frank Murphy is a Kilkennyman. And you can see it by his latest attempts to destroy Cork hurling by appointing that incompetent fool Kenneally to the U21 hurlers job and underachieving areskisser Cuthbert to the senior football job. Frank is the best friend the Powder Pissers have.
Kilkenny can support what they want as they are league champions. Kilkenny will be in the top division regardless. Cork are the gutless ones looking for an easy out!!
Paul would you leave Nelly and Steve alone, you’d have a “chip on your shoulder” too if you were not from Cork.
Kilkenny being league champions is completely and utterly irrelevant. The point is that the Kilkenny county board supported the league proposals put forward, the ones you are alleging every day by spamming this site are yet another Cork conspiracy., If it’s a conspiracy, Kilkenny are in on it too. Why don’t you spam them?
I hear Noel King’s at a loose end. Premature choice by Cork County Board!
Sweet jesus keneally as u21 boss. Joke shop. The man is an embarrassment
Merrrrrrrr
Of course Cork are supporting the new proposals as it promotes them without them having to play a match. Crazy decision from the GAA
RATIFIED!!!!
Sam won’t be returning to lee side
