IRELAND INTERNATIONAL Áine O’Gorman has left Peamount, the club have announced.
It brings to an end the Wicklow native’s fourth spell with the side.
The 33-year-old originally joined them from Stella Maris in 2009 and also returned on loan in 2011 during a two-year stint at Doncaster Belles.
O’Gorman rejoined the Dublin club permanently in 2012 but followed manager Eileen Gleeson and several other players to UCD Waves in 2014.
Her latest spell at the club began in 2017 and she was part of league title-winning successes in 2019 and 2020, having previously hit a hat-trick as they triumphed in the 2010 FAI Cup final.
The versatile player who can play in defence, on the wing, or up front has over 100 Ireland caps, last month featuring in the historic win over Scotland that saw her side reach the World Cup finals for the first time ever.
O’Gorman’s next move has yet to be confirmed.
Today’s statement reads: “Everyone at Peamount United would like to wish Áine O’Gorman the best of luck as she decides to embark on a new journey. We thank Áine for her incredible contributions over the years and look forward to supporting her at the World Cup next summer.”
Well if Catherine martin does the same as she done for music and the arts expect rugby along will all other sports to be shut down and all clubs and their grounds turned into cycle paths.
@Chris Mc: Spon on Chris. Most useles two Ministers in Government.
@Chris Mc: thats what you get with so called “gender quotas” – rubbish
Well done ladies..I fully support the message from the ladies rugby. However I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for the Minister to actually effect any meaningful change or exert any relevant presence on the IRFU.
Good on em!! Time now to get back on track with a clean slate!!
@Bart O Brien: until they lose again to a team who can barely spell rugby never mind play the game and they blame everyone else for their failure.
No organisation that underperformed got betrer by giving those who failed more money.
And that’s all this is about money.
@Chris Mc: do you have insider information that you’d like to share with the rest of us ?
I find it comical that most on here are slating the Minister for Sport, rather than the actual serious and cultural issues that exist in the IRFU as an organisation.
@TheHospitalPass: Comical minster of sport thats about right.
@TheHospitalPass: Not really that surprising for a site that is very largely about mens’ rugby in Ireland and whose users are very largely male
