Guess who’s back! 👀🟢⚫️
We’re delighted to announce the return of James O’Callaghan as our Senior Women’s Manager! ✍️
Welcome back to the Peas, James! 🤝
Alan was one of the good ones, always had lots of time for him. Was never going to be an easy job to take over, but second half of the season particularly he had the young side working very well.
Always very good to me on and off the pitch.
Bohemian FC wishes to thank Alan Murphy for his dedicated service to the club after he today stood down as our women’s team manager: bohemians.ie/bohemian-fc-tha…

Even in the past week I’ve benefitted from basking in the light of @ciaramageean ‘s reflected brilliance & kindness. Tried to capture her in today’s @IndoSport but words seem inadequate still. She was utterly mnásome. Shine on Ciara x
Cliona Foley: Working with Ciara was one of the highlights of my career, once you entered her orbit you were blessed with her light buff.ly/18wIKyA
A player who came to the LOI and made Athlone home your impact has been immense looking forward to what’s next for you becuase you deserve it @Madie_Gibson17
Madie Gibson has confirmed she is leaving Athlone Town after 4 and a half year
She won’t be short of offers from many leagues across Europe and North America be interesting to see where she ends up
For a foreign import to player over 100 league of Ireland games is a huge achievement a great ambassador for the League of Ireland

Successful appeal? They are still banned from playing in the intermediate cup which is their bread-and-butter competition.
Still fined 5,000
Reducing FAI cup ban by 2 years isn’t really a success if other avenues of the punishment remain
Pleased to have contributed to the Ringmahon Rangers successful appeal against the FAI sanction.
A welcome outcome, but the case further demonstrates that the FAI Disciplinary Regulations, and the FAI process itself, are not fit for purpose🙏⚽️

Won’t be here for much longer. I would of had her on my team if the year if I’d a vote
Understand Madison McGuane is attracting interest from several top English clubs. On trial at Brighton this week. The Treaty United teenager is one of the brightest young talents in Irish women’s football.

The genuine question you have to ask is Shamrock Rovers any further forward since re-entering the league? For me no. I’d of been keeping James and building with youth. Pressure is on Rovers to deliver.
Right now they are levels behind challenging for a league with gap growing
Following the conclusion of the 2026 season, we can confirm that James O'Callaghan will be departing his role as First Team Head Coach.
We would like to thank James for his commitment and professionalism during his time at the Club and wish him all the very best for the future.

Been lucky to watch Noelle at her highest moments and unreal baller and one of the best to do it a huge loss to the league but she goes on her own terms with a league medal in her back pocket
AN ICON. A SERIAL WINNER. A LEAGUE OF IRELAND LEGEND. 🏆
Some players win trophies. Others entertain. Noelle Murray did both.
This weekend, when Athlone Town face Cork City, one of the greats of Irish women’s football will bring the curtain down on an extraordinary career.
Six League of Ireland titles. A Scottish league title. Seven FAI Cups. Four League Cups. An Ireland international. Almost 300 appearances across league and cup competitions in Europe. 146 goals.
A career defined by winning, wherever she went.
A player in the inaugural Women’s National League season, Noelle went on to enjoy huge success with Raheny United, Shelbourne, Glasgow City and Athlone Town, collecting silverware and making her mark at every stop along the way.
But Noelle was about so much more than trophies and statistics.
She played like the ultimate street footballer. Fearless, unpredictable, full of flair and always capable of producing something special. She had that ability to try things others wouldn’t, make them look effortless and leave you wondering how she had just pulled it off.
And 146 goals along the way, plenty of them absolute bangers. Noelle always had a bit of magic in her locker and was never afraid to try something different.
She played the game her own way, and that’s what made her so special.
Fans adored her. Teammates loved playing alongside her. Wherever she went, she brought quality, character and a winning mentality that helped define her career.
One of the best to ever grace the League of Ireland, Noelle has been a winner, an entertainer and a player who made the game look fun. Her trophy collection speaks for itself, but her impact on Irish women’s football goes far beyond the numbers.
And now, she gets to call time on her playing days on her own terms.
A winner. A maverick. An entertainer. A legend.
Thank you, Noelle Murray, for the trophies, the unforgettable goals, the memories and everything you have given to the game.
They don’t make many like her. 👏

We are sad to share that our midfielder Emma Bucci has unfortunately suffered a knee injury that will keep her sidelined for some time.
Emma has been an absolute standout and a relentless worker on the pitch for us all season. While this is a setback, we know how strong and resilient she is.
The entire Wexford FC family is right behind you every single step of your recovery.
Wishing you a smooth and speedy recovery, Emma! We can’t wait to see you back out on the pitch 🙌
First time in many years consistently in the manager front at Treaty United for me Laurie Ryan has been a revelation as a young coach. Great to see her build on what she’s done this season
Treaty United is delighted to confirm that Tommy Barrett and Laurie Ryan will continue as senior men’s and senior women’s team managers respectively for the 2027 season, when the club will adopt the Limerick FC name.
