Hear from those inside the dressing room after a historic night in Lissywollen.

Athlone Town are the Women's Premier Division champions for the first time after they beat Bohemians 2-0 in Lissywollen on Saturday night.

Town's goals came courtesy of September's Player of the Month, Madison Gibson in the 27th minute, and Kellie Brennan in the 34th.

A 3-0 victory for Shelbourne over Peamount earlier in the day meant Ciaran Kilduff's side needed three points against Bohs to ensure they were crowned as league champions.

The midlanders saw out the second half with relative comfort to claim their first Premier Division in women's football.

Kilduff reflected on a historic achievement with the media after the full time whistle:
