Laurie Ryan believes there's been significant progress since last season.
Athlone Town's captain Laurie Ryan believes consistency and continuity has been key to the club's progress this season.
Tommy Hewitt's side had to settle for a runners-up finish in the Women's National League despite winning their last game of their league campaign.
A 4-0 win for Shelbourne over Wexford meant back to back titles for the Dublin side, who will now have Athlone in the way of a league and cup double on Sunday.
Ryan says the step between last year and this year has been massive, and it's down to her team sticking together:
