Lights On For The Town 19s

Athlone Town 2-0 Galway United

Athlone Town heaped on Galway Uniteds woes with a 2-0 win in their rescheduled Dr Tony O’Neill Under 19s League game at Lissywollen.
The origonal game fell foul to first a venue change, with the surface in Lissywollen being worked on, and then a mid match flood light failure at Lecarrow, thus forcing an abondonment.

To be fair to both sides, while it was not a spectacle of the beautiful game, they did their best in difficult conditions as flip flops would have been of better use than football boots on a pitch that had more sand than Salthill beach.

Despite both sides wasting chances, Athlone were just strong enough to edge out the bottom side with 2 second half goals.
