Athlone Town 3 Kildare County 0
Athlone Town made it four homes wins on the bounce when they totally over powered bottom of the table side Kildare County.
They got off to the best possible start when a Joey Maloney corner was met by the head of Jim Sheridan who put the ball in the net with just 90 seconds of the game gone.
In the second half Eric Lavine came on as a substitute and scored one of the best goals seen in Lisstwollen when he turned on a ball resulting from a free kick and stroked the ball home. He then scored a second from close range after a corner wasn’t cleared. Next match is away to Sporting Fingal on Saturday 30th July. Kick off 3pm
