Ballybofey Defeat Consigns Athlone To Fourth Straight Loss

Athlone return to First Division duty against Cobh Ramblers on Friday.

Athlone Town's winless run in the men's First Division continued last Friday.

The midlanders are now 15 games without victory after losing to Finn Harps 2-1 in Ballybofey.

Town fell behind to a Conor Tourish strike in the first half, before Hans Mpongo doubled the Donegal side's lead in the 69th minute.

Any hopes of a comeback for Athlone were extinguished when Junior Thiam was given a second yellow card five minutes from time.
