AN ICON. A SERIAL WINNER. A LEAGUE OF IRELAND LEGEND. 🏆 Some players win trophies. Others entertain. Noelle Murray did both. This weekend, when Athlone Town face Cork City, one of the greats of Irish women’s football will bring the curtain down on an extraordinary career. Six League of Ireland titles. A Scottish league title. Seven FAI Cups. Four League Cups. An Ireland international. Almost 300 appearances across league and cup competitions in Europe. 146 goals. A career defined by winning, wherever she went. A player in the inaugural Women’s National League season, Noelle went on to enjoy huge success with Raheny United, Shelbourne, Glasgow City and Athlone Town, collecting silverware and making her mark at every stop along the way. But Noelle was about so much more than trophies and statistics. She played like the ultimate street footballer. Fearless, unpredictable, full of flair and always capable of producing something special. She had that ability to try things others wouldn’t, make them look effortless and leave you wondering how she had just pulled it off. And 146 goals along the way, plenty of them absolute bangers. Noelle always had a bit of magic in her locker and was never afraid to try something different. She played the game her own way, and that’s what made her so special. Fans adored her. Teammates loved playing alongside her. Wherever she went, she brought quality, character and a winning mentality that helped define her career. One of the best to ever grace the League of Ireland, Noelle has been a winner, an entertainer and a player who made the game look fun. Her trophy collection speaks for itself, but her impact on Irish women’s football goes far beyond the numbers. And now, she gets to call time on her playing days on her own terms. A winner. A maverick. An entertainer. A legend. Thank you, Noelle Murray, for the trophies, the unforgettable goals, the memories and everything you have given to the game. They don’t make many like her. 👏 #LOIW #WomensFootball #NoelleMurray 📸 @fitzer_andy

Massive congrats to everyone involved on helping the group win their 3rd league in a row. Great group whose work rate match their ambition. Lily Agg has done a brilliant job since her arrival 👏. Im sure MOTY will be a tough one with the contenders this year.

So we’ve been working on something... Produced in partnership with IRIS Productions, “The Town” will be a four-part documentary series following the Athlone Town Women through their 2026 season. Still in production for another month, but here’s a little teaser:

Is tonight the night? 👀

Good memories in Tallaght Stadium for @LilyAgg8 ☘️

We just submitted our project to the @OpenAIDevs WebMCP hackathon: The WebMCP Computer. WebMCP Computer is an operating system that lives inside the browser, with WebMCP as its native control layer. It is a computer that treats agents as first-class citizens, where files, processes, applications, windows, and the terminal are exposed directly through WebMCP. You can send anyone one URL that becomes a disposable computer for any agent task. We created a computer instance in ChatGPT Sites, open it with Codex’s in-app browser and try it here: computer.webmcp.com/ Some examples of what you can do with WebMCP Computer: 1/ Give a coding agent a fresh computer to clone a repository, edit code, run tests, and preview the result. 2/ Let an agent inspect logs, manage processes, change configurations, and repair a broken system. 3/ Give a research agent its own workspace to browse, download files, analyze data, and create a report. 4/ Create reproducible environments for evaluating and comparing different agents. 5/ Let humans and agents work together in the same environment, with the agent using WebMCP and the human using the GUI. The list of applications is endless, with more examples in our GitHub. The project is fully open source under the MIT license. github.com/nekuda-ai/webmcp-… devpost.com/software/webmcp-… Created by our awesome founding engineer @ilay_alog.

⚽️ We were delighted to welcome Temple Villa U13 Girls to Athlone Town Stadium for a session yesterday evening, led by Women’s First Team Head Coach Lily Agg. A really coachable group who demonstrated an excellent attitude and work rate throughout. Well done, girls!
