Limerick teenager Linnane, who has played for the Treaty United U-17 side, was thrusted into the limelight when starting goalkeeper Liisa Tuomi picked up an injury in the warm up before the Shannonsiders clash with Bohemians.
It was a debut to remember for Linnane who pulled off a fine stop early on into the game to announce her arrival.

Ciara Breslin gave Treaty the lead in the 69th minute, her long range effort finding the back of Rachael Kelly's net, after neat build-up play from Katie Lawlee.
Linnane, from Caherdavin, was denied the perfect debut when Bohemians managed to grab an equaliser in the 91st minute through Róisín McGovern.
Linnane started her playing career at Caherdavin Celtic where her father played and her two brothers currently play, all as goalkeepers.
She moved to Aisling Annacotty at 11 as a midfielder and moved into her goalkeeping role at age 13 in 2022. She was chosen for the Gaynor Cup squad in 2023 but couldn't play due to a clerical issue.
Kick-off on Saturday is at 4.30pm and the game will be broadcast live on LOITV.
