Tipp and Westmeath secure silver in contrasting replay deciders

Leona Archibold scored 1-6 and claimed the player-of-the-match award as Westmeath saw off Cavan by 13 points in yesterday’s Lidl Ladies National Football League Division 2 final replay.

Having lost Division 2 deciders in 2014 and again last year, the Lake County finally gained promotion to the top flight.

In a surprisingly one-sided rematch at St Brendan’s Park in Birr, Westmeath scored all but one point of their big tally from play, in a 3-15 to 0-11 win.
