Midfielder Groves only joined Athlone Town this year so she has only known success but that has not diminshed her appetite for more ahead of this massive game.

“We had high expectations for the team and I think we’ve done quite a bit so far and proved ourselves throughout the season," said Groves.

“It would be history for the club (to win the double) and that’s what we have done this season and we want to continue to do that.

“Our team is fantastic. From the start I knew we had something special and our team has a bond that’s unreal. I think we’ve only shown ourselves on and off the field and been very professional throughout the season.”
