Athlone Town will be looking to improve on last season's 7th place finish.
The Women's National League season gets underway this weekend with Athlone Town looking to improve on last season's 7th place finish in 2021.
They've made a splash in the off-season, bringing in three players from the USA as manager Tommy Hewitt strengthened his squad considerably.
The club have announced that proceeds from their first home game against Wecford Youths on Saturday evening will be donated to humanitarian efforts in the Ukraine.
Wexford's captain is Portarlington's Kylie Murphy who's hoping the league's competitiveness will improve this season:
