1990s In the early 1990s Denis Power helped establish
Castle Rovers FC, a women's football club founded by employees of the
Irish civil service. Castle Rovers played in the
Dublin Women's Soccer League and were league champions in 1995 and 1996. In 1996 they also won the
FAI Women's Cup. In 1996 this club was taken over by
Shamrock Rovers. With a team that included
Olivia O'Toole, Rovers went on to become one of the leading
Republic of Ireland women's football teams during the late 1990s and early 2000s, winning four successive
Dublin Women's Soccer League and
FAI Women's Cup "
doubles" between 1998 and 2001.
