It's the club's first league win since May 2025.
Athlone Town ended their 23 game winless run in all competitions on Friday evening.
Ian Ryan's side secured a 2-1 home win against Finn Harps, recording their first league win since May of last year, which also came against the Donegal outfit.
After an early setback, goals from Peter Grogan and a deflected Gradi cross secured the lead.
Daniel de Lacerda saw red late on as Athlone sealed the victory in front of 1,114 fans.
Town travel to Kerry for their next match this Friday.
New signing and goalscorer Peter Grogan says it's the perfect start to the new season:
