GALWAY’S ALL-IRELAND hopes have been boosted by the news that Dervla Higgins has been cleared to play in Sunday’s senior camogie decider.
The Athenry defender was controversially shown a straight red card for an off-the-ball incident in the semi-final victory over Tipperary.
But RTÉ’s match footage later showed that it was a case of mistaken identity and that referee Ray Kelly had sent off the wrong player.
