Regular host of the podcast Stephanie Roche is unavailable this week, due to her breaking another glass ceiling for females in Irish football, becoming the first woman to co-commentate an UEFA Champions League quarter final on Irish television on Tuesday evening but Meabh de Burca has stepped up. The Galway WFC and former international player joins Breifne to share her thoughts on the bright prospects of the Irish national side after their two games against higher ranked opposition in Denmark and Belgium ended in 1-0 defeats in both encounters.

As we face into the first International break of the season we're discussing International camps with recently retired International goalkeeper Niamh Reid Burke and long range screamers with Cork City captain Becky Cassin. Once again Stephanie Roche and Breifne Earley chat through the domestic action of the past weekend as they look back at each of the games played over an idle weekend for Peamount United. They're joined by her Peamount United teammate Niamh Reid Burke who chats about her own international career which came to a close two weeks ago. She talks about the experience of her second start for Ireland playing world champions USA in California lining up against the likes of Megan Raphinoe, Carli Lloyd, Abby Wambach, Julie Johnston & Hope Solo. She discusses her experience of struggling to break into the international starting side with a net minder of Emma Byrne's quality ahead of her in the pecking order. She outlines her reasons for turning down numerous opportunities to move abroad to further her football career and the harsh reality of the finances within the women's game outside of a small number of top clubs. Cork City Captain Becky Cassin also popped in to discuss her own viral strike from the opening weekend of the league. She chats about her late equaliser in Galway ten days ago and the immediate impact of streaming games and the attention that can be brought upon a player before they even hear the final whistle at their game. Becky and Stephanie swap stories of their mutual time in the Girls Football Academy in Kilcoole where Becky outlines her memories of looking up to Stephanie and Aine O'Gorman as an impressional youngster starting out. She chat's about her time in Carlow IT, her time in the pink of Wexford Youths and being exposed to Turners Cross as part of her college placement at Cork City. Her familiarity with the club made it a really easy decision to accept the call from Rónán Collins when it arrived. Finally Stephanie chats with Breifne about her own disappointment of missing out on the finalised International squad after being named in the provisional squad.

This week Shelbourne's high profile signing Saoirse Noonan and Athlone Town debutant Muireann Devaney join Stephanie Roche and Breifne Earley to chat about their conflicting experiences on the opening day of the SSE Airtricity League Women's National League season. Stephanie talks through each of the four games played on Saturday including her own Peamount side's late win down in Wexford, Becky Cassin's long range strike to level matters after Rachel Kearns had given Galway the advantage with a first half hat trick and Bohemians blistering start to the campaign with goals aplenty against Treaty United. Our main focus this week is the final game of the weekend between a new look Athlone Town and last season's runners up Shelbourne with each of our guests lining up against each other in the midfield just a few days ago. Saoirse talks about commuting from Cork to Dublin for training, clocking up the miles in the car and her ambitions for breaking into Vera Pauw's senior international squad. She also discusses her move from Cork City and some of the options she had in Iceland and the UK and the impact the coronavirus had on her decision at the time. Athlone's debutant Muireann Devaney joins us to discuss her first taste of senior Women's National League action. An experienced underage international who's starred for Sligo Rovers in the U17 grades in recent seasons, she's been involved with the home based senior interational sessions in recent weeks. She outlines her own senior international ambitions although by her own admission she's got a few steps ahead of her before that becomes a reality. Both girls talk about the choice between featuring in the Women's National League and for Cork and Leitrim in Ladies Gaelic Football where both girls represented their counties last season.

The final episode before the start of the 2021 SSE Airtricity Women's National League kicks off on Saturday features the remaining league clubs as we complete our pre-season check ins with each club. Chloe Singleton of Galway WFC and Niamh Kenna of Bohemians join Stephanie Roche and Breifne Earley to discuss the comings and goings on and off the pitch at both clubs as well as how they have been preparing for the upcoming seasons. Not to be forgotten Stephanie shares a little about what's been happening over at Greenogue with the League and Cup Champions Peamount United where there have been little to no movement of players into the club over the close season as they appear settled for the new year. Chloe discusses, amongst other things, the addition of former Shelbourne boss Dave Bell to the management ticket in Eamonn Deacy Park, the signing of Slovenian International goalkeeper Maja Zajc and the return of League & Cup winner Ruth Fahy to the club. She also stays tight lipped on her time rooming with Stephanie on Ireland duty. Captain of Bohemians for their debut season last term, Niamh Kenna speaks about her return to the league after the demise of Shamrock Rovers, the feel good factor around the club and the girls being an integral part of the setup at Dalymount Park. Niamh chats about the arrival of a number of players from Athlone and Peamount as well as the hopes to play more games in the "Home of Irish Football" this season as they look to improve on the results of their maiden outing in 2020.

This week Stephanie Roche and Breifne Earley are joined by DLR Waves captain Catherine Cronin and Kate O'Donovan of last years FAI Women's Cup finalists Cork City. Kate O'Donovan tells us about Cork's pre-season campaign so far including their 3-1 victory over Treaty United last weekend in a physical encounter. She explains the impact of losing players like Saoirse Noonan to Shels and goalkeeper Maria O'Sullivan to a scholarship in the United States and the positive opportunity that creates for younger prospects to break into the team and showcase their own abilities in those key roles within the team and the talent coming through the academy which was created within the club in 2015. Players like Laura Shine, Kelly Leahy and Eva Mangan who are beginning to feature for the senior team are just the tip of the iceberg in terms of the quality currently in their underage sides. Catherine Cronin joined the discussion and we got into a range of topics including DLR's strong recruitment through the off-season, being lucky enough to be able to be training and playing in the current environment and the recent announcement of a contract extension for Waves manager Graham Kelly. She talks about the addition of Jess Gleeson from Shelbourne, and the former Peamount United pair of Niamh Barnes & Louise Corrigan who will add some experience at the back for the team for this year. Catherine also chats about her day job of nursing in a hospital in the middle of a pandemic and her upcoming wedding plans for this summer. Stephanie discusses the upcoming launch of the League of Ireland and the Women's National League on Wednesday, the launch of LOI TV and the building excitement for the campaign ahead.

Recently retired player and newly appointed coach with Treaty United Marie Curtin and the most experienced rookie in the league this season, Lynn (Marie) Grant of Wexford Youths join Stephanie Roche and Breifne Earley to discuss how they've been preparing for the 2021 season in their new roles. Marie discusses the overnight transition from playing to coaching, the changes and similarities in the league since it launched in 2011 and even shares a few untold stories about her international experiences in the Irish shirt. The experienced former international also discusses the lack of quality exposure over the decade of the league but points at some positive steps being made in the right direction with increased visibility through SSE Airtricity's sponsorship and the new LOITV platform coming on stream. Lynn, another former International player who dropped out of the game for health reasons, discusses her battle with diabetes, getting her illness under control and deciding to come back to the game as a mother of two and ten years after her last appearances at this level in the inaugural season. Stephanie also talks about the impact of her viral sensation has had on her career and the fortune and misfortune that's dominated her playing career since. The player of the game from the FAI Cup final talks about how her brace in that game was a great way to finish a tough season with injury and covid isolation issues that stopped her playing in Europe with Peamount.

Stephanie also shares her experience of the crucial fundraising efforts that most athletes have to endure in order to keep their clubs or teams going. We're also chatting about comebacks after career threatening injuries and a year and a half on from the now infamous strike we're asking has the treatment of women in Irish football improved?

Sexism has been a bigger problem than racism at the World Cup in Russia, according to anti-discrimination experts advising FIFA. There have been reports of fans harassing female broadcasters while they worked and the head of FIFA’s diversity program says they want less focus on attractive women in stadiums in TV broadcasts. Female pundits have been more plentiful for this tournament, but there is still some distance to go before women football analysts are taken as seriously as their male counterparts. RTÉ sports presenter Jacqui Hurley, Irish International footballer and RTÉ pundit for the World Cup, Stephanie Roche and Margaret Ward, a journalist and founder of Women On Air, speak to Bernice Harrison about what needs to be done if there's to be any chance of leveling the playing field.

Women's World Football Show, Episode 43 features an exclusive interview with Republic of Ireland forward Stephanie Roche; Jordan Sports Journalist Waleed Abu Nada; and Girls Talk Footy editor Kehinde.

Irish striker Stephanie Roche fell in love with football from an early age. She went to matches with her dad and brothers and played on boys' teams before joining girls' sides from the age of 13. Her opponents were surprised to see a girl on the pitch and says she would sometimes get a bit of abuse from players and parents "but nothing too bad". The insults didn't bother her though, she just focussed on her game. Stephanie went on to represent her country, as well as playing for local teams. It was at a minor league match where she scored the goal that would change her life. By chance the spectacular volley was filmed and uploaded to the internet; it was picked up by FIFA and took second place in their best goal of the year competition, beating stars like Manchester United's Robin van Persie and Chelsea's Diego Costa. Sahar El Hawary was also inspired by her father. She used to sit on the sidelines and watch him referee matches in her native Egypt. It was unusual to see a girl watching from the benches, but Sahar loved the atmosphere and wanted to be as close as she could to the action. At the time Egypt didn't have a women's football team and Sahar thought this was wrong, so she travelled around the country talent-spotting young players and training them in secret in her family's compound. People said she was, "crazy ... and how can women play football? It's a man's game." Sahar wouldn't accept 'no' for an answer and now she takes the national team to tournaments across the region. Today women and girls can be seen playing football across Egypt.Image: Stephanie Roche (credit FAI/Sportsfile) and Sahar El Hawary
