Shamrock Rovers youngster Jaime Thompson impressed at Tolka Park on Saturday | emmaduffy_
‘THE IRISH COACH is here,’ the woman overseeing the carpark on Grace Park Road excitedly told fans as they made their way towards Tolka Park.
Rovers, returning to the league after an eight-year hiatus, made it a colourful off-season as they hoovered up an array of top players from rival clubs, including including Ireland internationals Áine O’Gorman, Stephanie Roche, Abbie Larkin and Savannah McCarthy. O’Gorman and the ever-impressive Jessie Stapleton scored the goals, the latter ironically playing her underage football at Rovers.
Pauw included just two home-based players in her most recent squad — O’Gorman and Larkin — but with the league back in full flow, others could stake a claim ahead of next month’s double-header against USA.
