The girls from the Midlands will be hoping that they can build on last year’s success, when they captured their maiden league title.
Molloy was central to Athlone’s 2024 success, playing all 20 games and having seven goal involvements as her side captured silverware, seeing her scooping the October Player of the Month award.
