The FAI is saddened to learn of the death of former Ireland WNT international Pauline Maher. Pauline holds the record of being the WNT's youngest debutant & goalscorer - netting in her first game against Northern Ireland in October 1973, at just 14 years, 107 days. The Association offers its sympathies to her family and friends.

Fascinating insight into why @WNBA fined @nyliberty $500,000 (down from $1m!!) for breaking the CBA (collective bargaining agreement). Chartered flights for pro athletes are a no-no🙈So much to unpack here about investment & development of professionalism 4 #WomenInSport #hoops – at Kildare, Ireland
The WNBA features a mix of aggressive and old-school owners. Born from that divide is a unique scandal, in which the Liberty stand accused of treating their players too well, @howardmegdal writes: trib.al/jlLdEaE
