    I notice the Athlone Town Womens squad is made up of USA, German, Jamaica and Irish players. How many of the Irish contingent are locally based and why so many USA players!

    If you want that extra quality you'll have to look further afield, most clubs have a few but Athlone have the most.

    Considering the strength of Athlone at underage and their catchment, I would have expected them to recruit from within the league in the last off season.

    While they were bringing in yanks they allowed an Irish U19 international to walk away.

    There's the Athlone squad. Some of the player profiles show where they're from, otherwise google is your friend 👍

    How many years do players have to be based in Ireland before they can be naturalised. Is it citizenship related still? Portugal have made good use of getting young Brazilians qualified for their national side. We shouldnt neglect our own young players but scouting youth and keep them and grow the eligible player pool should also play a part - sell on when they are capped!!
