16 July 2024 Fermanagh's Eimear Smyth strengthens big lead in 2024 ZuCar Golden Boot award race! Share this Article 0 0 0 Shares! 0 Shares! FERMANAGH ace Eimear Smyth has what now looks like an unassailable lead in the race for the ZuCar Golden Boot award. The Derrygonnelly Harps sharpshooter is currently on 7-39 (60 points) and that’s 34 points clear of her nearest challenger, Wicklow’s Niamh Caffrey, whose interest in the 2024 Championship is at an end. Smyth is also now preparing for a TG4 All-Ireland Junior Final appearance at Croke Park on Sunday August 4, when the Erne County will play Louth at 11.45am. Players from Louth, Wexford and Galway also occupy places in the current top 5. In that top 5, just Smyth, Louth’s Kate Flood and Galway’s Olivia Divilly still retain a live interest in the 2024 TG4 All-Ireland Championships. Flood and Louth will take on Smyth and Fermanagh in that Junior decider, while Divilly is and her Galway colleagues are looking forward to a Senior Championship semi-final meeting with Cork next Saturday July 20. The 2024 ZuCar Golden Boot will be awarded to the highest scorer across the three grades (Senior/Intermediate/Junior) of the TG4 All-Ireland Championship series and, barring an incredible turnaround, that now looks certain to be Smyth. Top 5 Eimear Smyth (Fermanagh) 7-39 (60) Niamh Caffrey (Wicklow) 1-23 (26) Kate Flood (Louth) 4-13 (25) Aoife Cullen (Wexford) 2-17 (23) Olivia Divilly (Galway) 3-14 (23) Share this Article 0 0
