HIGGINS STILL HAS SO MUCH TO OFFER ROSSIES

IT IS close to three years since she last donned the primrose and blue in a competitive game, but as she continues to recover from her latest injury set-back, Jenny Higgins is hopeful of lining out for Roscommon again in the future.

After featuring in their TG4 All-Ireland intermediate football Championship semi-final defeat to Wexford on July 10 of the previous year, Higgins missed out on the 2023 inter-county season to place her full focus on a new adventure in Australia with AFL Women's outfit Sydney Swans. Yet just a week before she was due to make her AFLW bow, Higgins suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury in a match scrimmage (informal practice game) against Brisbane Lions.

She eventually bounced back to play a part in Clann na nGael's senior club Championship final success over St Brigid's last September and had subsequently returned to the county set-up by the end of 2024.
