FAI head of women's football Hannah Dingley resigns after one year in job
Less than a month after chief football officer Marc Canham announced his decision to depart after three years at the helm, Dingley is also set to return to Britain.

The Welsh native had an interim spell in charge of Forest Green Rovers, becoming the first woman to manager senior men's team in England's professional pyramid, before joining the FAI last May.
Dingley arrived at the association to fill the void left by Eileen Gleeson after she was appointed permanent manager of the senior women's international team.
While Gleeson has since been replaced by Carla Ward, she is understood to still be a FAI employee, although chief executive David Courell and Canham sidestepped that issue during recent media interviews.
It was only in March that Dingley made her first significant appearance in the job, launching the FAI's Women & Girls' Football Action Plan at the Mansion House.
Now the FAI are beginning another recruitment process for a senior figure, although Canham's successor could be announced before he departs at the end of this month.

Ireland and Shamrock Rovers teenage star Ralph signs for Sheffield United
IRELAND UNDERAGE INTERNATIONAL Joy Ralph has signed for Sheffield United. The 19-year-old striker makes the move from Shamrock Rovers, joining the WSL 2 outfit on a one-year deal, with an option for a further year, for an undisclosed fee. Ralph, one of the brightest young talents in the Women's Premier Division, starred for DLR Waves before linking up with Rovers midway through the 2023 season. Advertisement The Dubliner scored 23 goals in 53 appearances for the Hoops across years; was nominated for Young Player of the Year and named in the PFA Ireland Women's Premier Division Team of the Year in 2024. 'I'm absolutely buzzing,' U19 international Ralph said upon signing her first professional contract. 'From being a young child I've always wanted to play professionally in England and to get this opportunity, I'm really, really grateful for it.' "It's been a bit hectic but I wouldn't want to have it any other way. Getting the tour of Bramall Lane, it's unbelievable, it's just breathtaking when you first walk in and I'm absolutely buzzing to step onto the pitch..." Joy Ralph on moving to the Blades 🎙️ — Sheffield United Women (@sufc_women) August 5, 2025 Head coach Ash Thompson added: 'We've been monitoring Joy closely for some time now and really pleased to have been able to get the deal done ahead of the new season. 'She's a tenacious and exciting young forward who has been a proven goal scorer in Ireland for a number of seasons now, and we only see her adding more competition and quality to our attacking options.' Rovers confirmed the move in a statement of their own. 'Everyone at the Club would like to thank Joy for her contribution to Shamrock Rovers over the past 24 months and wish her all the very best with the move to the UK.' It's the latest significant loss for the Hoops following the departures of Ruesha Littlejohn and Katie Keane last month. Keane's move to Leicester City was confirmed by the WSL club last night. Stephanie Zambra is in interim charge after Collie O'Neill recently stepped down.

Farrell's Lions won in a tour that showed interest is as big as ever
A GRAND TOTAL of 453,237 people attended the Lions' nine games in Australia over the past five weeks. The first Test in Brisbane was completely sold out, while the crowd of 90,307 for the second Test at the MCG was a remarkable sight to behold. Those lucky enough to be there in Melbourne witnessed an epic match they'll never forget. The third Test in Sydney was also a sell-out and though the biblical rain dissuaded a few thousand people from turning up, a crowd of just over 80,000 in that kind of weather was impressive. Many of them got soaked to the bone for their efforts. The warm-up games attracted lots of people. The Brumbies had their biggest crowd for 17 years when the Lions were in Canberra, while Adelaide delighted in welcoming its biggest-ever crowd for a rugby game when the tourists took on the AUNZ XV. The Waratahs and the Reds have average attendances of 15,000 but welcomed crowds of more than 40,000 for their Lions games. The Western Force's average attendance is even lower at around 7,000, but they had 46,656 in for the visit of the Lions. The big Irish, English, Welsh, and Scottish diasporas obviously helped to swell these numbers, but plenty of Aussies were clearly engaged. There is still a hardcore rugby union-loving community Down Under. Millions more people watched this Lions campaign on TV in 135 countries around the world. Though the numbers have yet to be confirmed, this tour has made record profits for both the Lions and Rugby Australia. And while it would be great if it were all about romanticism and tradition and engaging with the community, these numbers are the bottom line for the organisations who bring these Lions tours together.

So they will benefit from this tour. World Cups cost them huge amounts of money. Lions tours make money for them. Advertisement The evidence of this tour of Australia suggests that the Lions are even bigger than ever. This thing is a beast that people simply cannot resist, even if only to proclaim how little they care about it. The Lions will always have its detractors but it has many, many more supporters who love these tours. The vast majority of people fortunate enough to be in Australia for this tour will have fond memories. This is a wonderful country to trek around. Maybe the best in the world for a tour. But, of course, the actual rugby really is the key part of all of this. Andy Farrell's Lions could never really win in some people's eyes. Given where the Wallabies were after the 2023 World Cup, the tourists were heavy favourites for the series. They won the series but lost the last Test. Having openly declared their goal of winning 3-0, they made a rod for their backs. Farrell's men fell short of their target with a relatively poor performance in the third Test but that has happened in many series before. Getting yourself up for the third game after clinching the series a week before is tricky. The Lions boss was asked on Saturday night if it's psychologically impossible for players to truly get themselves back to the same place again having already clinched the series. 'I hope not, I hope not,' said Farrell. 'Otherwise, we are not being true to ourselves in everything we talked about. I certainly hope not. 'Subconsciously, I guess I will never know the answer to that question.' He was similarly indecisive when asked whether the Lions players were a bit physically worn out when the third Test rolled around. Many felt that Farrell should have added more fresh energy to his team with players who hadn't yet featured in the Tests. Andy Farrell embraces Finn Russell. James Crombie / INPHO James Crombie / INPHO / INPHO 'I don't know, everything is in hindsight, isn't it?' said Farrell. 'We built the week up pretty good, I thought. There were a few days off. Training application on Tuesday and Wednesday was pretty good, as was yesterday. 'It's just the story of the game that got away from us in the end. 'Who am I to know… these lads have been playing for how many months? They were certainly up for the game, but the best team won.' And it's as simple as that. The Wallabies were better in the third Test and deserved their win. The Lions were better overall over the course of the series and deserved to win that. What will live longest in the memory is that thrilling second Test in Melbourne when the Lions came back from 18 points down to win it at the death with the ultimate Andy Farrell team try. 14 phases of ball retention and good decision-making and work rate off the ball and skill execution. It was truly the synthesis of Farrell's coaching. Hugo Keenan put an unforgettable finishing touch on a stunning team try to clinch the series. That's the moment people will remember, and rightly so. It was one of the great Lions moments. This was a brilliant Lions tour for Irish rugby, even if everyone didn't like it. It's a huge point of pride for 18 Irish players to be involved. This was a hard-earned reward for Ireland's excellence in recent years. They have dominated the other Lions nations. The Irish system isn't perfect, but to have such representation in players and staff is a major achievement. The 2025 crop might not be remembered as the greatest Lions team ever, and this series might not be remembered as the greatest we've seen, but it was engaging and often enthralling. It was fun and ferocious. The Wallabies earned respect after being disrespected. The Lions deserved to win the series and go home with the spoils. Everyone who enjoys the Lions has had a fun few weeks. Some, including the players and staff, have even had the time of their lives. And now we'll move on.
