Season 6 of the League of Ireland Women's Podcast is officially underway — and it's our most comprehensive season launch yet.Breifne Earley (@BreifneEarley) and Aaron Clarke (@LetsTalkLOIW) are joined this week by special co-host Emma Kate Dineen (@EmmaKateDineen), former LOITV commentator and Treaty United media team member, as we dive headfirst into everything you need to know ahead of the 2026 campaign.We begin by breaking down the squad movement across half the league, analysing what the ins and outs could mean for clubs chasing silverware, European spots, or stability this season. Treaty United (11:09), Wexford FC (15:57), Waterford FC (20:41), Cork City (24:05), Bohemians (32:57) and Sligo Rovers (38:31) all come under the microscope as we assess recruitment, departures and tactical direction heading into the new campaign.Shelbourne's Jess Gargan (46:07) then joins us to preview the President's Cup Final against Athlone Town on Sunday 8th March. We discuss preparation, facing the league and cup double winners, and what it would mean to start the season with silverware.Attention then turns to the Women's Development League (1:09:13), where the new season kicked off in emphatic style. We review a weekend that saw Dundalk defeat Sligo Rovers 6–0, DLR Waves put eight past Kerry, Bohemians score seven against Drogheda, Galway United impress against Peamount, and plenty more statement performances across the country.Dundalk forward Sophie Hanlon (1:17:47) joins the show after scoring a remarkable 14-minute hat-trick in that 6–0 victory. She reflects on her explosive start, the growing competitiveness of the Development League, and her ambitions for the season ahead.We then head northwest to speak with Finn Harps Director of Women's Development and Women's U17 manager Paddy McDaid (1:28:20), who outlines the importance of having an adult women's team in Donegal, the pathway for local girls to access elite football, and the significance of creating visibility for representative honours.Finally, we round up the opening weekend of the Women's U17 League (1:47:15), where Shamrock Rovers, Galway United, Athlone Town, Shelbourne, Peamount United and Bohemians all delivered eye-catching results as the next generation begins to emerge.It's a packed, in-depth start to Season 6 — from senior squad reshuffles to grassroots pathways and everything in between.

The League of Ireland roared back into life last week, with late drama in Derry and Galway grabbing the headlines. That momentum took a hit on Sunday at the Aviva, though, raising fresh questions about hosting league games at the national stadium — something Kieran and Gaz get stuck into. Alongside our 2026 First Division preview and a chat with Treaty United goalkeeper Jack Brady, the lads also react to Roddy Collins' comments on James McClean. There's plenty more too, with a bumper BTS Hotline, the latest BTS Predictions League, and our new charity bet feature, sponsored by BAR 1 Betting (18+, Gamblingcare.ie). Another man excited for the return of the First Division is our long-term sponsor, Anthony Quinn of QuinnAv.ie.
Ben Symes, Johnny Ward and Barry Murphy are here for the final LOI Late Night of the season. Shamrock Rovers are our champions, Waterford FC will face one of Bray Wanderers or Treaty United in the play off and Stephen Kenny's St. Patrick's Athletic have squandered their chance of European football.

If it's frank & opinionated LOI coverage you're after then it's got to be Between the Stripes. Sponsored by QuinnAv.ie
A confident Dundalk looked set to continue their perfect start to the season establishing a 2 goal lead on the 80th minute of a game they looked comfortable in throughout. However a goalkeeping error invites a previously inert Treaty United into the game and ultimately sees the Lilywhite lose their defensive composure and concede 2 late goals in a game they should have won. Episode 180 discusses if this is a mere blip or signs of worrying frailties amongst the squad.
Galway United Women have a crucial midweek fixture against Treaty United FC of Limerick on Wednesday at 7.30pm to close the gap to league leaders Athlone Town FC to just 3 points. Both sides are coming off weekend victories against FAI Cup semi-finalists, Treaty United having beaten Cork City in dominant fashion away from home 3-0. While Galway beat Sligo Rovers in Eamon Deacy Park 2-1, thanks to goals from Amanda Smith and Emma Doherty. The sides also share a similar run in form with 3 wins and 2 losses each in their last 5 matches and both teams having a nominee for August's Player of the Month, Galway's Julie-Ann Russell and Treaty's Danielle Steer. Treaty United sit lower on the table in 8th place with 17 points in 15 matches while Galway are chasing the top 2 spots in the league with 28 points in 13 matches. Galway United are unbeaten against Treaty United in their last 8 league meetings, and they will look to extend this impressive record against the Limerick side to be within one point of second place Shelbourne with a game in hand. This would leave them a chance to climb to 2nd position in the league when they face Wexford in Ferrycarrig Park on Saturday evening. Manager Phil Trill told John Mulligan that it is a massive game for the team.
This week, Diarmuid Blake looked back at the opening round of games in the County Senior and Intermediate Football Championship, Head of Communications with the Olympic Federation of Ireland Heather Boyle spoke about Ireland's best ever Olympic Games and Enda Curran joined George following his 100th League of Ireland goal for Treaty United at the weekend.
Galway United make the journey to Dalymount Park on Saturday Afternoon to face Shelbourne in the Women's National League. It has been a big week for Phil Trill's side. A 1-0 win over Treaty United booked their place in the Avenir Sports All-Island Cup Semi-Final, Kate Thompson, Eve Dossen and Rola Olusola were called up into the Republic of Ireland U19 Women's Squad for the European Championships in Lithuania and on Wednesday, it was announced that Julie Ann Russell had been named in the Republic of Ireland Senior Squad for crucial European Championship qualifiers against England and France. United lie just five points off Shelbourne in second place and six off the top spot held by Athlone Town with a game in hand on both teams. Ahead of the game on Saturday, Phil spoke to John Mulligan.
Galway United continue the defence of the Avenir All-Island Cup on Saturday (29th June 2024) when they host Treaty United in the quarter-final. It's their first meeting this season with the scheduled SSE Airtricity League Premier Division meeting put back until September. The Tribesmen topped Group D with two wins and a draw; but their Limerick opponents are also undefeated, having drawn two of their three fixtures before finishing second behind Shamrock Rovers in Group C. Already Shelbourne, Shamrock Rovers and Wexford FC, who'll host the winners of this tie, are through to the final four. Leading up to the game, Galway United manager Phil Trill has been chatting with Galway Bay FM's John Mulligan. == Kick-off at Eamonn Deacy Park on Saturday is 5pm and we'll have updates with Joseph Murray here on Galway Bay FM.
Galway United return to SSE Airtricity League Women's Premier Division action on Saturday (25th May 2024) when they travel to Shamrock Rovers. The Tribeswomen are unbeaten in six games against their highly rated opponents who have still to pick up a victory this season. When the team met in Dublin in 2023, the Hoops took a 2-1 victory while also getting a 1-1 draw in Galway. Leading up to the game, Galway United manager Phil Trill joined Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly to preview the fixture, chat about their recent record attendance of 2,861, the All-Island Cup quarter-final draw against Treaty United, and ask why Jenna Slattery is not in the Republic of Ireland squad. == Kick-off at Tallaght Stadium on Saturday is 7.35pm.
Treaty United manager Tommy Barrett sits down for a lengthy discussion with the lads with the Limerick native admitting this season has been his most testing in charge of the club. Kieran & Gary talk set-pieces after an error-filled derby between Rovers and Pats which leads to a wider discussion on the standard of the league this season and why we are seeing so many dull games according to the lads. There's lots of Dundalk chat again as the off-field circus at Oriel Park continued to roll this week with Brian Gartland's acrimonious departure, an open fans letter calling for Brian Ainscough to revert his decision to appoint Noel King, and links with Paul Doolin and Ian Baraclough all making the headlines. Will Stephen Kenny take the Pat's job, will Stephen O'Donnell and Bohs be a match made in heaven? There's the usual BTS Predictions League and BTS Hotline segments and the odd Sopranos reference too. Not to be missed, like a plate of Gabagool.
