Gurteen’s Roisin Molloy prepares for an FAI Women’s Cup final with Athlone Town

-

Sligo Rovers U-17 women’s team players currently with Athlone – the other is Manorhamil­ton’s Muireann Devaney. Molloy, Devaney and their team-mates have to move on from last weekend’s hurt and get ready for what is a first for Athlone, who’ve never previously qualified for an FAI Women’s Cup final. “It was disappoint­ing last weekend but we’re still relatively happy to have finished second – if you told us at the start of the season that we would be runners-up we probably would have taken that,” said Molloy.

“This year, after the mid-season break, we got on a bit of a winning run – we got results again (Markievicz Park, 1.30pm) (Matthew Farrell)
