John Sullivan led Athlone to a league and cup double last year.

Athlone Town says it's focused on this weekend's game with DLR Waves, following the surprise departure of John Sullivan.

He tendered his resignation last night, having only taken the reins of the women's team in September on an interim basis, later signing a two-year contract. 

Sullivan led Athlone to a league and cup double after taking over last year.

The Midlanders opened their league campaign with a 1-1 draw against Sligo Rovers after claiming this year's President's Cup with a 1-0 win over Shelbourne.

In the men's game, Athlone are in Limerick this evening to take on Treaty United the First Division.

Elsewhere Cobh play Bray, Kerry are at home to Harps, and Cork travel to UCD

All four games get underway at 7.45pm.
