The first division outfit look likely to stay there after another loss.
Athlone Town fell to their 11th league defeat of the season in the League of Ireland First Division over the weekend.
The Midlanders were beaten 2-1 away to Treaty United on Friday evening.
They fell behind to a Cian Curtis opener in the first half, before going 2-0 down after Jason Oyenuga struck after 54 minutes.
James Crawford pulled one back for Town but Sean O'Connor's side were unable to get a second.
It represents O'Connor's first loss as manager since taking over from Ian Ryan earlier this month.
The Midlanders are now four points off the pace of the promotion play off positions and just five points clear of the bottom of the table.
They return to action against UCD in Lissywollen on Friday.
