I think Derry drew 1-1 in that game, final match of 1995. I'm sure Donal Golden scored for Athlone after one minute. Liam Coyle scored a screamer for Derry who had to win, but couldnt force a winner. We held on for a 2-0 win over Galway, and our game finished 5 mins early, last 5 mins from Athlone was played from rte radio on the PA system in oriel park, we then won the league by a point and got some pretend trophy, as the real one was sitting in St Mels.
Shels/Pats was also a 3rd game that could have had an impact that day, but that result didnt matter in the end.
