Is this the N61?

Roscommon Road is N61. When you turn off the bypass again you're onto the N55 (Ballymahon Road).

Thanks for the directions, see you Sunday!

You better watch out for peter he will be the next pope. Will be a good match. Our secret wepon is the lissywollen atmosphere and the fact it is hidden lol.

I was at the Ireland vs Wales game and as we were walking into Croke Park everyone were given a kind of pocket fixture list of all the games in the premier and first division and in Athlone Town's slot the venue is called Lissywollen. Did the directors of A.T.F.C. actully send that name is to eircom or is that just to give travelling support and idea.

Should be able to view location in Google Maps and Google Earth now.
