Stephanie Roche to decide on future as Shamrock Rovers circle 

The Hoops have reactivated their women’s section after seven years with gusto, tabling the first semi-professional contracts since the league commenced in 2011.

Stephanie Roche admits she’ll soon decide whether to emulate her friend and teammate Áine O’Gorman by joining Shamrock Rovers from Peamount United.

O’Gorman, captain of Peas and last season’s national league top scorer, is the first marquee recruit announced by Rovers who are racing ahead of rivals with offers.
