Athlone Town Aim To Get Back In The Playoff Hunt Tonight

Friday, 13 August 2021 at 07:48

They take on UCD in Dublin.

Athlone Town can reduce the gap to the playoff spots in the SSE Airtricity League First Division tonight to two points. 

They travel to the capital to take on the team sitting one place above them, UCD. 

The sides have met twice already this season resulting in a draw and a defeat for the midlanders. 

Its been a high scoring combination with nine goals in the two games, including a two-all draw on the opening night of the season at the UCD Bowl. 

With less than ten games remaining in the regular season, the Westmeath outfit will be well aware the time to start reducing the gap with their fellow playoff contenders is now. 

Defeat tonight would see the gap increase to eight points with eight games remaining.

In terms of squad news, Killian Cantwell shakes off a niggle to be available for selection which will come as a relief to midlanders manager Adrian Carberry.
