"The pair are said to have been asked to turn up for duty for the club’s under-21 side’s meeting with Shelbourne last weekend.
However, the Westmeath Independent reports that neither agreed to play for the side, which is effectively the club’s reserves, and the game had to be called off as Athlone had insufficient players to take part."
The U-21 matches, as anyone who follows this league will tell you, are fairly frequently called off. You have to wonder if it is advisable for a club at the bottom of division one to terminate contracts for refusing to play in this league. I think it is OTT unless there are other factors that haven't come to light. Gavin is a good player and we don't have better ones lined up. Not a good step in my opinion.
