Keith Higgins frustrated by dual dilemma

Nobody told Mayo dual star Keith Higgins it was going to be easy trying to balance his football and hurling commitments but things couldn’t be more awkward for the talented all-rounder next weekend.

Higgins is captaining the Mayo footballers as they begin the defence of their Connacht SFC title against Galway at Pearse Stadium at 4pm on Sunday.

However, as the three-time All Star defender leads his team out on to the field in Salthill, he is likely to bump into some of his Mayo hurling colleagues as they head off to take their seats in the stand.
