The new season gets underway this afternoon.
Emma Duffy 154 DAYS ON from Athlone Town lifting the title for the first time in their history, the 2025 Women’s Premier Division season gets going this afternoon.
With Champions League football also in the equation, they have recruited Jamaican international Izzy Groves from London City Lionesses, and Ireland underage star Kelly Brady from the US collegiate system. Madie Gibson remains one of the standout talents in the league, with Chloe Singleton — on the comeback trail from a long-term injury — and Róisín Molloy other key players amidst impressive youth.
Ruesha Littlejohn has reportedly been in talks with Rovers and the 87-cap Ireland midfielder would be a huge coup, especially after recent departures. The loss of Lia O’Leary to Bristol City was the most high-profile exit, but other top players like Jess Hennessy, Shauna Fox, Aoife Kelly and Amanda Budden have also left. Áine O’Gorman recommitting was a boost, while the retired Stephanie Zambra returns in a coaching capacity, with plenty of attacking firepower to work with.
James O’Callaghan left Peas after over a decade — and three league titles — with his long-time assistant Emma Donohue taking the reins alongside Gary Seery. Former League of Ireland player Russell has taken over from Dominic Foley at Treaty United, following a much-improved seventh-placed finish last season. Russell spoke to The 42 about the team this week, having made the move from the U17 ranks along with several players. 15-year-old Madison McGuane is one to keep a close eye on.
