Athlone Town Vs Cabinteely Preview

It's 6th against 7th in the SSE Airtricity League First Division.

Athlone Town's promotion bid takes them to South County Dublin this evening to face Cabinteely. 

The two sides are level on points and a win could see the midlanders leapfrog Bray Wanderers into the promotion places. 

There's been departures from Westmeath this week as Jonathon Carlin and Jack Watson have moved on but outside of that Adrian Carberry will have a full squad to choose from. 

Cabinteely are a bit of a bogey team for Athlone, they haven't managed to win in thirteen meetings since 2016. 

More recently, Pat Devlin's team are without a win in three while Adrian Carberry comes into the fixture following back to back draws against Wexford and Bray. 

Cabinteely will have former Town goalkeeper Mikey Quinn in their squad. He had a spell with the club in 2019 and joins the South Dublin side from the Leinster Senior League. 

Kick-off in Stradbrook is at 7.45.
