On Sunday, Roche took the time to showcase some skills to the future super stars of girl’s football.

Speaking from Rosemount, Slattery said; “I have heard such great things about Rosemount Mulvey Football Club and what the club are doing for girl’s football.
“It’s absolutely brilliant to see over 70 girls taking part at academy level and I look forward to supporting the club within my role in the FAI.”
Slattery went on to say how fantastic it is to see the team of all female coaches at the club, headed by UEFA B Licence coach Maggy Doyle.
