McGuinness on the double as Saffrons celebrate

Northern Ireland soccer international Kirsty McGuinness bagged two goals as Antrim were crowned All-Ireland JFC champions against Louth at Croke Park yesterday.

McGuinness netted a first half penalty and added her side’s third goal in the final minute as the Saffrons cruised to an 11-point victory.

At half-time, Antrim led by 2-3 to 0-2 and the goals came as real sucker punches to an off-colour Louth, who registered their first score of the game in the 22nd minute.
