Women’s Match Preview: Shamrock Rovers (A)
Date: 15th of March 2025
Kick-off: 5pm
Venue: Tallaght
Athlone Town AFC return to Tallaght Stadium with unhappy memories from their last visit. Missing three players last week Athlone had a strong showing against a good Wexford side, Rovers come into the game on the back of a win against rivals Shelbourne. You have to go back as far as August to find Rovers last defeat and that was due to a goal in the 121stminute of their FAI Cup game with Shels so this will be a tough ask for the Champions.
The game will kick off at 5pm.
Team News
Athlone Town AFC come into the game with a couple of injury concerns. Kerry Brown, Katelyn Keogh and Chloe Singleton are long term injuries, and it will be a while before we see them fit to play. Sarah Flannelly who was taken off last week due to injury is a big doubt for the game.
Past Encounters
Athlone Town and Shamrock Rovers have played four times with each team having one win a piece and two draws. There has been an average of 4 goals per game so this would indicate that both goalkeepers will be busy.
Key Players to Watch
For Athlone Town AFC Madison Gibson has proven herself to be the most exciting player in the league and having missed last weeks game she is ready to go and hoping to start her season with a bang.
For Rovers Ruesha Littlejohn is in line to make her debut for Shamrock Rovers. Capped over 80 times for Ireland she is a signing that will bring plenty of eyes to the Women’s Premier Division
