Waterford are the visitors this evening.
Athlone Town's FAI Cup journey begins this evening.
They'll be hoping to evoke memories of last season's competition when they welcome Premier Division outfit Waterford to Lissywoolen at 7:45 this evening.
The midlanders dispatched top tier Shelbourne en-route to a semi-final birth last December.

Athlone enter the game on the back of a loss to Shels in the league, while Waterford have had back to back wins against Sligo Rovers and Finn Harps.
Adrian Carberry will be without the services of club captain Kurtis Byrne, while Adam Wixted and Michael Schlingermann are game-time decisions.
If Mayo man Schlingermann is unable to go, it could mean a baptism of fire for recent signing Tommy Holland.
In more positive team news Killian Cantwell looks set to take his place at the heart of the town defence after shaking off an injury of his own and another new recruit, former Liverpool academy forward Glen McAuley will be given a chance to impress.
Waterford will be without Prince Mutswungum and Niall O'Keefe are both suspended.
Also on the treatment table for Marc Bircham's side are Daryl Murphy, Matthew Connor, Oscar Brennan, Brian Murphy and Kyle Ferguson.
