Battle of Towns gives Athlone just a second league win this season

Athlone Town secured just a second victory in Division One over the weekend.

They were 3-1 winners over local rivals Longford Town. The pick of the Athlone goals came from Thomas Oluwa.

There were wins for Treaty United and Waterford, while Galway and Cork had to settle for a share of the spoils in their top of the table clash.

In the Premier Division, Bohemians, UCD and Derry City all picked up wins. Dundalk and St Patrick's Athletic played out a pulsating draw last Friday.

All of which was good news for Shamrock Rovers who opened their gap at the top of the league to eight points.
