Shamrock Rovers have appointed former UCD manager Collie O’Neill to take charge of their senior team they plan to have competing in next year’s women’s national league.

The Hoops quit the original WNL after just two disappointing seasons but are determined to hit the ground running on this occasion, their headhunting of Jason Carey from Peamount United as head of women’s football earlier this year evidence of their strategy.
