City close to it again definitely think if they made a few changes that they could be a top 4 team 1 or 2 players costing them
Important win for Galway at home v Shamrock R. Athlone (the campions we shouldn't forget) are off to a good start as well. That is a good crowd in Limerick as it is really difficult to build a fan base for women's sports, camogie and LGA the same.

Athlone hosting their own Chapions League games is a welcome development.
and didn't they play well! 4-0 hammering against Cardiff City, and followed up with a 3-0 win over the Croatian champs, ŽNK Agram.
Only caught bits of yesterday's win as I was at a good Bohs performance in the UCD Bowl, but they blew Cardiff away completely.
Thanks to @Chippie1974 on Twitter for pointing out that the league is 19th in the Women's UEFA Coefficient, with Croatia one step above.
Time to cut the men's game and focus on the women!
Domestically meanwhile:
- Shels have snuck back in to top place, although as there are two clashes with Athlone left it is all to play for.
- Shamrock Rovers have replaced Collie O'Neill with Stephanie Zambra (neé Roche)
- Bohs have hit a run of form, as have Wexford. A good All Island Cup final awaits.
- Sligo Rovers are off the bottom and improving
- Cork City are now bottom of the league and their best players are leaving.
Great atmosphere at the Athlone game on Saturday. They really dominated the first half and could even have scored more than 3. They had to sit back a lot in the second half as their energy levels (not surprisingly) dropped, but their keeper and defense did a great job to keep a clean sheet. Another full-stand of a 1916 crowd.
On my way into the ground I noticed a fan wearing a Fiat Trucks Athlone jersey which was great to see. It is up on the clubs insta account now, it was from the 1980/81 season they say. Hopefully these results will give a boast to the league in general. I was in Lissywollen 2 weeks back for the league game v Galway and it was a small enough home crowd at it.
