Missing Line-ups

I am looking for a bunch of missing Athlone line-ups if anyone can help me out, mostly just one or two players from each match.

I have got what I can from the Irish Press, Indo and Times, so am looking for details from local papers, old magazines or personal records.

I have a Michael Collins and a Denis Collins for 1996/97, So not sure which one it could be.

Yeah Mickey and Dave. Unfortunately they were both in the team around this time.

It's the same with the Sheehan in 87/88, it's Mickey or Terry, and there were a few Nugents around in 89/90.

For your 91/92 query, I came across the name Gary Cowell that season - could this be the Colwell you seek? Are you sure Colwell is the correct spelling of the surname, as I can't say for definite that Cowell is right either?



Donie

Colwell is the only name I have, but it was a one-off appearance so I can't say if it's right or wrong. The only Colwell I could find was Jason Colwell who was with UCD.

1989/90
Leinster Senior Cup 24/08/89 – Longford Town 0 – 2 Athlone Town
Need First Name for Nugent

I had no joy with this today ATFConline but i know in 92/93 season we signed Fergal Nugent from Athlone Town.. Is that the same player by any chance? neither leader or news shed much light on the matter I am afraid.

Thanks Marty, I have that Leader report alright. It lists the 5 or 6 regulars that were left out of the team, but not their replacements.

I think it's Fergal alright, with Enda being the other possibility. The replacements were described as Youth players, and both Nugents were in the Youth team about two seasons before, but I think Enda would have been too old to still be there in 89/90.

Seems to be Gough alright, but the Munster Express match report is a little idiosyncratic I think, listing only 10 starting players for the Town.

Anyway, the line up, with full names where they appeared in the report, is:

Jim Grace, Albert Murphy, Kieran Maher, Ian Woods, Mark Wright, Kinsella, Martin Morrisson, Gough, Stephen Yeates, Michael O'Connor
subs: Noel Reid & Derek O'Neill for Maher & Woods (half-time)

Thanks Stann.

No, the 'keeper was Jim Grace, and Denis Clarke was left out of the line-up.

Just to update that I've been given the name Martin Gormley for the 74/75 LC game against Rovers. Someone managed to get in touch with the man himself for me and he confirmed he was with us that season.

Meanwhile I open the local paper this evening and there is Fergal Nugent pictured after getting married, along with his best man Enda! Funnily enough they also have a pic of him from his Youth Team days elsewhere in the paper. Must find out what season the pic came from.

Updated list below. LOI Handbook from the time lists Derek Gough and Garry Colwell. 87/88 matches sourced elsewhere.
