Athlone Town AFC

U15's result:
3.30pm KO - Athlone Town Stadium

Athlone 1 - 2 Finn Harps.

Fairly even game throughout. Athlone went 1-0 up early in second half when Ethan Neary finished off some excellent counter attack play from Fionn Macken. Two set pieces from Finn Harps though, decided the game.

Next game: Sligo Rovers away - Saturday 5th

🖤💙 *BRAY WANDERERS 0 - 1 ATHLONE TOWN AFC* 💙🖤

Athlone Town AFC made it back-to-back wins in the Women’s Under-17 Tier 1 campaign yesterday with a hard-fought 1- 0 victory away to Bray Wanderers in Greystones yesterday.

There was very little between the two sides throughout, with both defences on top for large periods of the game.

The decisive moment came in the 23rd min of the first half when captain *Doireann Lynch* stepped up for a long-range free kick. Her effort caused problems for the Bray goalkeeper, who could only parry the ball, with *Abbie Duffy* quickest to react inside the box to fire home and give Athlone the lead. ⚽️

From there, Athlone showed great discipline and defensive organisation to see out the game. Neither side created many clear-cut opportunities as both defences continued to dominate, ensuring Athlone held on for another valuable three points. Emily Lynam Carroll dealt with everything when called upon 💪

A fantastic result on the road and another clean sheet for the team. 🧤👏
