The midlanders continue to struggle in the League of Ireland First Division.
Athlone Town had to settle for a draw with Longford in the League Of Ireland First Division in Lissywollen on Monday night.
It was the home side that opened the scoring just after the hour mark, when Brian Torre picked out Gideon Tetteh to give Athlone the lead.
However the Midland’s El Clasico would end all square as a late Daragh Murtagh header from a Aaron Doran inswiging free kick found it's way into the net to ensure a share of the spoils.
The result now means Athlone are second from bottom with just two wins from 11 matches.
