Cup final heartbreak for Offaly playersA gallant Athlone Town found a first half deficit too much to tackle as Shelbourne completed the domestic double by lifting the EVOKE.ie FAI Women's Cup in front of a record crowd in Tallaght Stadium. Two other Offaly natives, Fiona Owens and Aoife Murphy O'Connor are in the club's first team squad. A nightmare opening set the tone for Athlone Town, searching for their first ever FAI Cup win. But as the minutes slipped away it became clear that it just wasn’t going to fall for the Blue & Black. Athlone Town: Coombes; Hennessy, Devaney, Keenan, Corbet, Ryan, Gibson, Monroe, Molloy, Herron, O’Kane.
