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.
