Sligo Rovers begin their 2026 Women’s Premier Division campaign this Saturday as Athlone Town visit the Showgrounds for a 17:00 kick-off. It is the first league outing of the season and a strong early test for Rovers, who take on the reigning Women’s Premier Division and WFAI Cup champions.

There is a fresh feel around Rovers heading into the new campaign, with a new manager in charge and several new faces added to the squad during the off-season. Athlone arrive in Sligo in strong form after lifting the Women’s President’s Cup last weekend, setting the stage for a competitive opening fixture.

Rovers wrapped up their pre-season preparations last weekend with a 2–1 victory over Peamount United at Greenogue Park. Despite several new additions joining the team, it was familiar faces on the scoresheet as Anna McDaniel and Cara King found the back of the net in the first half. Mia McGonnell pulled one back with 15 minutes to go, but Hughes’ side saw out the game to round off a successful pre-season.

Manager Gavin Hughes has been pleased with how preparations have gone in the lead-up to the start of the season.

“We’ve had a good pre-season. Training has been good, the girls are in good form and they’re excited for the game on Saturday. It’s been a long pre-season but the girls are nearly there and we’re all set for Saturday.

“The game against Peamount was a good test for the girls. We got minutes into a lot of the girls’ legs which was positive and we liked what we saw in the game.”

Athlone Town arrive at the Showgrounds once again as the team to beat in the Women’s Premier Division. The Midlands side enjoyed a remarkable 2025 season, securing the league title and the WFAI Cup, while losing just one league match throughout the entire campaign.

They have already started the new season on a high note after lifting the Women’s President’s Cup last weekend, underlining the quality within their squad.

Hughes is well aware of the challenge that awaits, but is focused on his side executing their own game plan.

“We’ve tough opposition, we know that. But we have to take care of our own business and hopefully the fans can be proud of the performance from the girls.

“I was at the game and they’re a quality team. We’ll give them loads of respect but at the same time we have to stick to our own game plan.”

The two sides last met on the final day of the 2025 Women’s Premier Division season, with Athlone coming away with the points on that occasion. Saturday’s meeting therefore marks the beginning of a new chapter for Rovers as they face the champions once again at the start of a new campaign.

Athlone have also made a number of notable changes during the off-season. Golden Boot winner Kelly Brady, who found the net in that last meeting between the sides, has since moved to Crystal Palace.

Head coach John Sullivan has strengthened his squad in a bid to become the first team to win three Women’s Premier Division titles in a row, bringing in Noelle Murray from Shelbourne while also welcoming back former Golden Boot winner Dana Scheriff, who came off the bench to score the winner in last week’s President’s Cup.

Rovers head into the opening fixture in relatively strong shape after coming through pre-season without any new injury concerns.

“Thankfully we’ve gotten through pre-season with no fresh concerns,” Hughes said.

“Keela Scanlon and Ciara Henry are both working their way back to fitness, while Jessica Casey and Keeva Flynn are unfortunately out for a longer period of time. Other than that we’re all good heading into the game.”

The game kicks off at 17:00 this Saturday at the Showgrounds as Sligo Rovers begin their 2026 Women’s Premier Division campaign against Athlone Town. Supporters can purchase tickets online or at the ground on matchday, and the team will be hoping for strong support as the new season gets underway in Sligo.

Shamrock Rovers provide the opposition this Friday evening as Sligo Rovers’ men’s senior side look to build on last week’s win over Drogheda United. 

Kick-off at the Showgrounds is 8pm and this game will be televised live by Virgin Media Television. Friday’s match is sponsored by Sleater Solutions and the match ball sponsor is the Sligo Branch of the Liverpool Supporters Club. 

The first of two games in the space of four days, Rovers will welcome the Hoops on the back of our first win of the year over Drogs on Saturday last. While the Dublin Rovers will arrive in the north west on the back of a statement win over title rivals Derry City last week and a draw away to Shelbourne on Monday night. 

Sligo have the better of the recent form between the clubs with John Russell’s side recording two wins over the Tallaght men in 2025. Shamrock Rovers recorded a win over the Bit O’Red in May, while the sides played out a four goal draw in Sligo last July. Shams currently occupy third spot, five off leaders Bohs and are four visits to the Showgrounds without a win ahead of Friday’s contest. 

In team news and as of Thursday morning, Rovers will again be without defenders Conor Reynolds, Shane Blaney and Sean Stewart due to injuries. Jad Hakiki also continues his rehab and is unavailable, while fellow midfielder Carl McHugh serves the second of a two match ban following his red card against Galway. He is due to return for the Dundalk game in Louth on Monday.  

Centre half Ollie Denham returned to full training this week and is expected to be fit to take part on Friday. 

Boosted by the win over Drogheda, Rovers boss John Russell is equally as aware of the threat last year’s double winners pose. He’s hoping to make Friday another special night under the Showgrounds lights.

“We were happy with how things went last weekend, but now focus is wholly on Shamrock Rovers.

“We showed particularly in the first half, against Drogheda how we can play. We created plenty and were relentless. To be fair, Sam (Sargeant) didn’t have a huge amount to do even after they scored and that was testament to our versatility and how well the likes of Will Fitzgerald and Seb Quirk did when they were asked to fill in at the back. 

“It was really an overall performance that was reflective of us and what we’re about as a team.

“We now have a Shams team coming to Sligo who are justifiably title favourites and are brimming with talent. It’s been the case now for a few years, but their biggest strength is their depth. 

“Against Shels they brought in Graham Burke, Michael Noonan and Jack Byrne from their bench. Then Victor Ozhianvuna and Adam Brennan come on, two of the best young talents in the country. No other club has that depth, so that illustrates what we’re up against.

“But our form against them has been decent recently and we’ll back ourselves again. I think as the weeks go and we continue to work together and the pitches improve, we’ll get even better. So there’s plenty for us to look forward to over the next few days.”

David Goulden at the Showgrounds

Sligo Rovers claimed a much needed first win of the season and in doing so moved off the foot of the Premier Division table as they saw off Drogheda United at the Showgrounds.

Goals from Will Fitzgerald and Alex Nolan either side of the interval had an pulsating Bit O’Red ahead by two before the hour.

Drogs’ Mark Doyle halved the lead on 61 minutes from the spot but Rovers kept the Louthmen scoreless for the remainder.

Victory pushes Rovers above Waterford while United’s search for a win at the Showgrounds is stretched to ten games. 

Rovers boss John Russell made four changes to his side that were beaten by Galway the week previous. 

Nolan, Cian Kavanagh and Daire Patton were all re-introduced to the Rovers starting eleven, replacing Mai Traore, Archie Meekison and the injured Sean Stewart, each of whom started last week’s defeat in the Connacht derby. 

While defender Sean McHale was named for his Rovers debut in place of the suspended Carl McHugh following a loan move from St Pat’s. Incidentally, McHale’s last game was against his new club in an FAI Cup tie for Dundalk last July in which he suffered a serious ankle injury. 

Without manager Kevin Doherty due to a suspension and any travelling support due to the recent incident at Oriel Park, United made three changes from their defeat at home to Shels. Seeking a first win at the Showgrounds since June 2021, Doherty named Leo Burney, Fuhad Kareem and skipper Ryan Brennan in his starting side in place of Shane Farrell, Thomas Oluwa and James Bolger. 

Disappointing in terms of the number of chances created in their outings to date, this first half saw a huge improvement from the hosts in this category. 

Drogs net minder Luke Dennison had to push an early close-range bullet from Patton onto his post with little more than two minutes gone. While there were further efforts from Seb Quirk and Nolan who each fizzed shots across the United goal.

Ryan O’Kane was a particularly busy customer on the Rovers left and he was involved on 18 minutes although it was his over-hit cross that sailed all the way to Esua who volleyed into Dennison’s side netting. 

Rovers maintained their tempo and striker Kavanagh struck the post with a header from an Esua cross four minutes from the break.

Sligo’s endeavour finally paid off in added time at the end of the first half. Again O’Kane was involved as the Drogheda rearguard made a mess of the ex-Shels winger’s corner. The ball landing to Sligo skipper Fitzgerald who was left with a simple finish from six yards out for his first goal since August 2024.

Searching for that first win under Benbulben in ten attempts, the Louth side fell further behind on 57 minutes.

Ethan O’Brien’s awkward challenge on Patton resulted in a set-piece at the edge of the visitor’s area. Nolan was let down by his initial effort, however he had the Showgrounds in raptures when he caught the rebound, firing the ball into the corner of Dennison’s goal for his first goal in red. 

This two goal lead lasted barely five minutes however. Only moments on the field, Sligo substitute Ciaron Harkin was penalised for blocking the ball with his arm inside his own penalty area. Doyle converting the resulting penalty, squeezing the effort between the post and the outstretched arm of Sam Sargeant. 

Kavanagh came close to settling the late tension when he did all the hard work, but flashed his shot beyond the far post, having done well to cut inside. 

Rovers will look to continue this form next Friday night when champions Shamrock Rovers visit the Showgrounds in front of the Virgin Media cameras. Kick-off is 8pm.

Sligo Rovers: Sam Sargeant; Jeannot Esua, Gareth McElroy, Sean McHale (Ciaron Harkin 57), Will Fitzgerald; James McManus, Seb Quirk; Ryan O’Kane, Alex Nolan; Daire Patton (Mai Traore 69); Cian Kavanagh.  

Drogheda United: Luke Dennison; Andrew Quinn, Leo Burney, Conor Keeley; Edwin Agbaje (Jason Bucknor 56), Conor Kane; Ethan O’Brien (Shane Farrell 76), Brandon Kavangh, Ryan Brennan (Jago Godden 56); Fuhad Kareem (Thomas Oluwa HT), Mark Doyle. 

Referee: Oliver Moran. 

Attendance: 2,548.

Sligo Rovers are back at home this Saturday evening as the Bit O’Red go in search of a first win of the season, against Drogheda United. 

Kick-off at the Showgrounds is 7.45pm and match sponsor this weekend is Paul Gallagher. 

The game will be Rovers’ senior men’s fifth outing of the season, following last week’s defeat to Galway at Eamonn Deacy Park. John Russell’s men currently sit tenth in the Premier Division table, six points off this weekend’s opponents who have two wins from their opening four. 

Sligo’s recent record against Drogs has been patchy, with no win over the Boynesiders in the last five attempts. Although Rovers’ home record against the 2024 FAI Cup winners has been solid, being unbeaten against Kevin Doherty’s team at the Showgrounds in nine games. 

Rovers will be without a number of players for this tie. 

As of Friday morning, Shane Blaney, Conor Reynolds, Jad Hakiki and Sean Stewart look set to miss out with injuries. 

Centre half Ollie Denham will face a fitness assessment pre-match. While Carl McHugh serves the first of a two game ban following his late red card against Galway. The Donegal man misses this weekend and next week’s visit of Shamrock Rovers to Sligo. 

“We have to step up on Saturday”, manager Russell tells sligorovers.com previewing Saturday’s clash.

“We were disappointed with last week’s result particularly as we did ourselves no justice given the standards we set ourselves.

“We were nowhere near satisfied with how we’ve started and the results we’ve seen. But the good thing is that we are very much in control of our own destiny and we will decide how we react to the defeat in Galway. We have a lot of faith in this group of players. 

“We’re only four games in and we’ve plenty of time to improve and kick-on, but we need to show improvement this weekend. Everyone involved knows that.”

Saturday’s game will take place in novel circumstances given that no away tickets have been sold due to action taken against Drogheda by the league following events at Oriel Park a few weeks ago.

“I don’t think it’ll affect them too much”, Russell continues. 

“They’re very well drilled and will all know their jobs regardless. They’re disciplined, well organised and will cause a lot of hassle for teams again this year. 

“But we’re looking forward to showing what we can do. There was a lot of hurt after last week and we can use that as fuel to fire us on.”

Following the departure of Steve Feeney, the club wishes to place on record its sincere thanks to Steve and his backroom team for their service and commitment.

First-team assistant coach Jay McCartney, Head Goalkeeping Coach Jerome Carleton, Sports Therapist Ciara Mulrooney, Strength and Conditioning Coach Conor Rushe and Player Liaison Officer Elaine Crossan have also departed the club. Significant work was carried out behind the scenes to support the continued development of the Women’s team, and the club acknowledges the professionalism and dedication shown by each member of staff during their time at the Showgrounds.

Gavin Hughes was appointed manager of the Women’s team following a successful spell in charge of the Bohemians U19 side. He guided the group through a successful 2025 campaign, culminating in FAI Cup success after a 2–0 victory over Treaty United in the final. His work at underage level was marked by strong player development, structure and consistency, with several players progressing into senior football.

Hughes now steps into senior management focused on building a competitive and organised side while continuing to develop emerging talent within the club’s pathway. Joining him are Ciaran Fadden and Tom Donovan, who also arrive from the Bohemians U19 setup as first-team coaches after being part of last season’s cup-winning backroom team. Both will support match preparation, tactical planning and player development. Richard Brush has been appointed goalkeeping coach, while Ben Houston takes on the role of strength and conditioning coach.

Following the conclusion of the 2025 Women’s Premier Division season, a number of players departed the club. Goalkeeper Amber Hardy completed a move to Treaty United, while midfielder Eimear Lafferty joined Bohemians FC. The club thanks both players for their commitment and contribution.

Bernie Ferreira, Louise Masterson, Lauren Devaney and Muireann Devaney have also left the club. Each played their part during their spell in Sligo, and the club extends its appreciation for their efforts and wishes them well in the next stage of their careers.

Kate Nugent also departs the club after several years within the Sligo Rovers pathway. She was part of the inaugural squad that represented the club in the Women’s National Under-17 League in the summer of 2018 before progressing through the U19 ranks. Nugent was first included in the senior matchday squad against Peamount United in March 2023 and made her official debut a week later in a 2–1 defeat to Treaty United at the Showgrounds. Across three seasons she made 45 senior appearances and was an important presence both on and off the pitch. The club thanks Kate for her contribution and wishes her every success in the future.

It has been a busy winter transfer window, with several additions confirmed ahead of the 2026 season. Midfielder Abby Rooney joined from the Bohemians U19 FAI Cup-winning side, while defender Kelsey McQuillan also arrives from the same squad. Former academy player Emma Duffy returns after a successful spell with Galway United, where she was part of the All-Island Cup-winning teams in 2023 and 2024. Six overseas players have also been added, with Sydney Stephens, Manu Baptista Filipe, Cara Jordan, Natalie Yoo, Ella Karolak and Sabrina Hillyer all moving from the United States to join the squad.

With just over a week to go before the season starts, the squad stands at 26 players for the 2026 Women’s Premier Division season:

Goalkeepers
Bonnie McKiernan, Ivana McMahon

Defenders
Alana Doherty, Alice Lillie, Ava Hallinan, Ella Karolak, Jessica Casey, Katie Melly, Keela Scanlon, Keeva Flynn, Kelsey McQuillan, Leah Kelly, Sabrina Hillyer

Midfielders
Abby Rooney, Cara King, Ciara Henry, Emma Duffy, Emma Hansberry, Manu Baptista Filipe, Natalie Yoo, Rachel McGoldrick

Forwards
Anna McDaniel, Cara Jordan, Mairead McIntyre, Paula McGrory, Sydney Stephens

Emma Hansberry will once again serve as club captain for the 2026 season, with Leah Kelly appointed vice-captain.

In injury news, Jessica Casey is recovering from a knee injury, while Keeva Flynn continues her rehabilitation from an ACL injury and will be sidelined for an extended period. Keela Scanlon and Ciara Henry are also making progress in their return from ACL injuries, though neither will be fit for the opening fixture.

Pre-season preparations have progressed positively under Hughes, with the squad returning to training on January 13. The team have played two fixtures under the new management, recording victories over Linfield and Derry City. Their final pre-season outing takes place on Saturday, 7 March, as they travel to Greenogue Park in Dublin to face Peamount United.

The 2026 Women’s Premier Division season gets underway on Saturday, 14 March, as Sligo Rovers welcome reigning champions Athlone Town to the Showgrounds, with kick-off scheduled for 17:00.

Sligo Rovers came out second best in the first Connacht derby of the season as Galway United overcame the Bit O’Red by a narrow margin at Eamonn Deacy Park.

Former Rovers man Jimmy Keohane netted this tie’s only goal, the one hundredth such meeting between the clubs on a cold night in the mid-west.

The visitors finished the game with ten men after stand-in centre half Carl McHugh was sent off for a late challenge late on. 

Sligo goalkeeper Sam Sargeant pulled off an early save from a nonchalant effort from David Hurley, before United struck for the game’s only goal.

Aaron Bolger making the most of some loose defending from Rovers before the ball finally fell to Keohane who lashed home from just inside the area. 

Ed McCarthy blazed over a wonderful chance from close range to double Galway’s lead before half-time.

Rovers began the second period the better of the sides, with Ryan O’Kane testing Evan Watts in the United goal straight after the re-starting whistle. Striker Mai Traore nodding over on the rebound. 

O’Kane caused problems down Galway’s right side during the second period and he pulled another save out of Watts on the hour.

Gareth McElroy saw a late header whipped off the Tribesmen’s goal-line in the second minute of added time, leaving Rovers to ponderwhat was our third defeat of the season.

Rovers return home this coming Saturday, March 7th. Drogheda United are the visitors to the Showgrounds. Kick-off 7.45pm. 

Galway United: Watts; Devitt, Parker (Williams 90), Brouder, Facchineri; Bolger (Wolfe 77), Barratt, McCarthy (Twardek 61), Keohane; Hurley (Piesold 90), Walsh.

Sligo Rovers: Sargeant; Stewart (Nolan 59), Esua, McElroy, McHugh; Quirk, McManus (Kavanagh 80), Fitzgerald, O’Kane; Meekison (Hakiki 46) (Patton 70), Traoré.

Referee: Rob Hennessy.

Sligo Rovers are delighted to confirm the signing of defender Sabrina Hillyer ahead of the 2026 Women’s Premier Division season. The American joins from the University of Texas at San Antonio, where she completed her undergraduate degree in Health Sciences and a master’s degree in Business, alongside gaining extensive collegiate experience.

Originally from Texas, Hillyer was a key figure for the Roadrunners across her time at UTSA. She made 62 career starts, playing a total of 4,689 minutes, and started all 22 games during the 2022 season, playing every minute of the C-USA Tournament semi-final and final. She contributed four assists that season. A two-time team captain, she helped guide UTSA to an NCAA Tournament appearance and was named Team MVP. She also earned multiple C-USA Academic Honour Roll selections, received All-District and All-State honours, and was named to the American Athletic Conference Watch List, underlining her consistency on and off the pitch.

Reflecting on her move to Rovers, Hillyer said:

“It’s really exciting to sign for the club. I love the ambition here and the support around the team. Coming to a new country and learning a new culture is a challenge, but it’s an opportunity to grow and compete at a high level. The girls have been welcoming, and it already feels like a place I can make an impact.”

On what she brings to the squad, Hillyer added:

“I’m comfortable across defence, whether it’s full back, wing back or centre back. I like to contribute going forward, deliver strong crosses, and I enjoy the 1v1 battles. I’m gritty, determined, and always look to help the team both defensively and in attack. I want to push myself and my teammates to improve every game.”

Discussing her ambitions for the season, Hillyer said:

“I know the league is competitive, and I’m joining a team with real ambition. My goal is to help Sligo Rovers challenge at the top, grow as a team, and make a statement in the league. Personally, I want to lead by example, contribute wherever needed, and bring the experience I’ve gained from my time in the US to the squad.”

Rovers manager Gavin Hughes highlighted Hillyer’s qualities and why she is a strong addition at this stage of the season:

“Sabrina is a proper full-back, aggressive, very strong in 1v1s and brave going forward. She is very clever in her defending and intelligent with her positioning and timing. She communicates constantly and brings more leadership to the back line, which will be huge for us.

With Sabrina in the team, we feel our defensive unit is much stronger, more connected and more secure.”

With Sabrina Hillyer joining, the squad now stands at twenty-four players ahead of the 2026 Women’s Premier Division season, joining earlier signings Abby Rooney, Ava Hallinan, Alice Lillie, Bonnie McKiernan, Emma Duffy, Leah Kelly, Anna McDaniel, Kelsey McQuillan, Rachel McGoldrick, Katie Melly, Emma Hansberry, Keela Scanlon, Ciara Henry, Cara King, Jessica Casey, Alana Doherty, Keeva Flynn, Ivana McMahon, Sydney Stephens, Manu Baptista Filipe, Cara Jordan, Natalie Yoo, and Ella Karolak.

Jack Dempsey

Sligo Rovers are delighted to announce the signing of defender Ella Karolak ahead of the 2026 Women’s Premier Division season. The 23-year-old centre back joins the Bit O’Red from the University of Illinois, where she developed into a composed and reliable defender, recognised for her leadership, communication, and consistency in defensive duels.

Karolak spent four seasons with the Illini as a Division I athlete, making 52 starts and accumulating 4,620 minutes of competitive action. She was a three-time Defensive MVP (2022, 2023, 2024), twice named Big Ten Player To Watch, and served on the team’s leadership committee throughout her career. Ella gained experience in the USL W League, helping Detroit City FC claim the Great Lakes Division title in 2025 and being named Defensive Player of the Year with FC Olympia in 2024. Off the pitch, she achieved multiple academic honours, including Big Ten Distinguished Scholar and three-time Academic All-Big Ten selection.

Reflecting on her move to the Showgrounds, Karolak said:

“It’s really exciting to sign for the club. I admire the history on the men’s side, and I want to help create history for the women’s team as well. The league is highly competitive, but I believe our squad can compete at the top level. Sligo is a beautiful town, and the community has been incredibly welcoming.”

On her playing style and what she brings to the team:

“I like to be involved in every phase of play and always want the ball. I’m comfortable on both feet, enjoy dictating play from the back, and am defensively strong. I like to be vocal on the pitch, organising the team and communicating with my teammates. I want to ensure we’re solid at the back while supporting the attack whenever possible.”

Looking ahead to the season and settling in with the squad, she added:

“I’ve seen teams in situations similar to Rovers, where growth and evolution are needed. Many of the club’s objectives align with my own, and I want to help the team make a real impact this season. Off the pitch, I’ve really enjoyed getting to know the squad. Everyone has been welcoming, which has made joining a new environment much easier.”

Rovers manager Gavin Hughes said Karolak immediately stood out for her composure, leadership, and defensive awareness.

“Ella has already, in this short time, led by example and brought real physical presence to our defensive unit. She plays comfortably off either foot and has an excellent range of passing. She sees things and executes them very well, whether short or long.

She is always positive and proactive, and her leadership skillset will be huge for us this season. She is the kind of player who sets the tone for the whole team, particularly within the defensive line.”

With Ella Karolak joining, the squad now stands at twenty-three players ahead of the 2026 Women’s Premier Division season, joining earlier signings Abby Rooney, Ava Hallinan, Alice Lillie, Bonnie McKiernan, Emma Duffy, Leah Kelly, Anna McDaniel, Kelsey McQuillan, Rachel McGoldrick, Katie Melly, Emma Hansberry, Keela Scanlon, Ciara Henry, Cara King, Jessica Casey, Alana Doherty, Keeva Flynn, Ivana McMahon, Sydney Stephens, Manu Baptista Filipe, Cara Jordan, and Natalie Yoo.
