Chloe Singleton and Casey Howe were in the goals as Athlone impressed against Peamount United.

Athlone Town defended the President's Cup against the Women's Premier Division Champions on Saturday night but aren't drawing any conclusions ahead of the league season.

The midlanders won their third trophy in 12 months after an impressive 3-0 victory over Peamount United on Saturday night.

Peamount gave as good as they got in a tight first half but faded against a physically dominant Athlone side in the second period.

Madison Gibson won and missed a penalty shortly before igniting a counter attack that saw Chloe Singleton get on the end of a Kellie Brennan cross to give Town the lead.

Singleton doubled her tally moments later, and the game and the President's Cup were sealed by Casey Howe in the 85th minute.

Athlone's manager Ciaran Kilduff looks back on an impressive performance and result with Midlands 103 Sports Editor, David Hollywood:
