The new season of the League of Ireland Women's Podcast kicks off tonight on FinalWhistle.ie, but the focus has dramatically shifted from our planned League of Ireland season preview to the fallout from Ireland's 4-0 defeat in Slovenia last night.Hosts Breifne Earley (@breifneearley) & Aaron Clarke (@aaron_c91) break down one of Ireland's worst performances in recent years.

After Ireland's comfortable progression past Georgia last weekend Breifne and Aaron take a look back at the games and what lies ahead with Wales standing between Eileen Gleeson's side at the European Championship Finals next year.

After a blistering start from Shelbourne saw them race into a 6-0 lead before Brenda Tabe got a consolation goal in half time injury time.Two goals each from player of the match Noelle Murray and Kate Mooney as well as strikes from Leah Doyle and Jess Gargan saw Shels set up a cup winning performance which belied the competition between these two over the last couple of years.In the immediate aftermath of the cup final Athlone announced the departure of their head coach Ciaran Kilduff who becomes the 5th vacancy or managerial change in the League alongside Waterford, Wexford, Sligo and the recent appointment of Sean Russell in Treaty United.Breifne Earley & Aaron Clarke will be joined by former Irish International Meabh de Burca to discuss all of these as well as the WNT squad which was announced late last week. Live from 8:15pm this evening.

Another League campaign comes to a close and it's curtains for a number of personalities across the league with Steph Roche Zambra joining her international team mate Niamh Reid Burke in retirement while Hugh Strong (Wexford FC) and Dominic Foley (Treaty United) depart their respective dugouts.Breifne Earley and Aaron Clarke will also be taking a look ahead at the Tallaght Thriller as Athlone Town and Shelbourne met for the third consecutive year in the showpiece FAI Women's Cup decider.

Swashbuckling Athlone Town secured their maiden league title with a resounding 2-0 victory over Bohemians on TG4 on Saturday despite Shels doing what was required of them with a 3-0 win over the previous champions Peamount.Elsewhere a gallant Treaty overcame Galway to potentially set up their best finish to a season in some time as Sligo Rovers secured their first win of the season in their penultimate game in a disrupted game on Leeside. Wexford and Shamrock Rovers could not be separated in Ferrycarrig Park finishing 2-2.Despite the glut of action across the league it was off the field events which dominated the coverage of the league this season as some end of season retirements are announced and Rovers defender Savannah McCarthy is pulled from a burning vehicle with serious injuries on Sunday evening. All this and a preview of the final round of games this weekend from Breifne Earley and Aaron Clarke (The WNL Show)

A flurry of late goals in Athlone saw the league leaders draw 3-3 with Shamrock Rovers, blowing the title race wide open between Athlone and Shelbourne who effectively ended Galway's ambitions with a Kate Mooney strike in a single goal game in Eamonn Deacy Park live of TG4.Elsewhere Sligo Rovers scored late to extended their unbeaten run with a 1-1 day at home to Peamount but they have since parted ways with their manager Tommy Hewitt ahead of their trip to Cork on Saturday.Wexford came from behind to comfortably defeat Bohemians at Dalymount while DLR secured a rare away win Turner's Cross.Breifne Earley and Aaron discuss all the action as well as setting up this weekend's potential title decider for Athlone.

Athlone secured a vital win this evening to take a five point lead at the top of the SSE Airtricity League Table with just three rounds of games to go and could wrap up the title as early as Saturday evening.Brenda Tabe's double secured a key three points in the race for the title and the European football on offer to the champions.

A draw in Galway coupled with a victory for Athlone at home to Shamrock Rovers would see the Midlanders secure the trophy.

This week the league title race really got underway with wins for Athlone Town and Galway United as saw them skip ahead of Shelbourne as Peamount came from behind to secure all three points at home to Bohemians with a scorcher from Niamh Farrelly sealing the win at the death.DLR will be disappointed to have capitulated under the challenge of Galway in Belfield as Sligo Rovers left it late to take a point home from the battle of the Rovers at Tallaght as an early Shamrock Rovers goal promised much for the home side.Cork City will be happy with their home draw with Wexford who face live now without Ellen Molloy who made the move across the Irish sea in recent week.Breifne Earley and Aaron Clarke (The WNL Show) will also be previewing the FAI Women's Cup Semi Finals which take place this weekend.

With the explosion of players who've either moved from the LOIWomen to play in professional leagues abroad and those who have expressed and interest or declared for Ireland in recent years we've decided to add a second weekly episode to the podcast looking at the impact Irish players are having in other leagues around the world.First up, given the week that's in it for Spain is our sole representative in the Spanish Leagues, former Cork City captain Becky Cassin who has signed for second tier challengers Cacereno. A city side based half way between both Iberian capital cities of Madrid and Lisbon. The club's women's side challenged for promotion last year and made the playoffs and Cassin is aiming on being an extra cog in the wheel for a promotion push this season.After the departure of Tyler Toland from Levante, Cassin is the sole Irish representative expected to play in the league this season as she finds herself at the club after periods in both France and Denmark since her departure from Cork at the end of 2021.She joins Breifne Earley and Aaron Clarke (The WNL Show) ahead of the World Cup Final to discuss her move, how she's ended up in Spain, the practical reality of life as a professional athlete in a foreign country without much of the local lingo.Becky also chats about her new club, the standards being set and their promotion chasing ambitions for this season. Each week Breifne & Aaron will be joined by a different player from around the globe and you can track each of those players on FinalWhistle.ie at https://www.finalwhistle.ie/soccer/irish-womens-players-abroad/
