Higgins’ Incredible Strike Claims Guildhall Shopping Centre Goal of the Month

The award allows Higgins to carry a badge of honour that shows a notable turning point in what seemed like a silently ascending career.

Tomorrow, Rob Baxter's squad return to competitive action at Sandy Park (2pm) looking to pick up from where they left off back in early March. On that occasion...
