Men’s Match Report: Wexford FC (A)

Substitutes Make the Difference in Wexford 

Athlone rescued a draw in Ferrycarraig Park on the 3rd of May 2024 playing out a 2-2 against Wexford.

Athlone started well and created a few chances in the first half could have found the front after 14 minutes when the bright Amwardo Oakley crossed the ball and Dean Ebbe almost turned it in at the front post.

Wexford had their own chance shortly after when Thomas Oluwa held the ball well and laid off the ball to Mark Hanratty who shot from 19 yards out but it was easily saved by Enda Minogue.

The hosts started to turn up the pressure and in the 19th minute Mikie Rowe showed great feet to create a chance to run at goal but again Minogue saved well. From the resulting throw in, a long throw into the box wasn’t dealt with and after two penalty shouts Rowe fired the ball into the bottom corner putting the hosts 1-0 up.

Athlone could have got one back in the 24th minute when Tetteh played in Mujaguzi but he couldn’t connect with it cleanly having been well martialled by the Wexford defenders.

Thomas Oluwa had a chance to double the lead when he broke through but only for goalkeeper Minogue it would have been 2-0. From the resulting corner it was 2-0, Ethan Boyle lost his marker and powered his header home at the front post. 

Just before halftime Athlone could have nicked one, a Brian Torre cross was headed towards goal by Ebbe but it was well kept out Owen Mason in the Wexford goal.

Dario rang the changes at half time introducing Jamar, Aaron and Jamal. Athlone had it all to do and piled on the pressure in the opening few minutes. From a corner in the opening minutes of the second half that was bouncing around the box and fell to German who side footed the ball home and Athlone were back in the game.

Both teams were creating chances, and it was anyone’s game. Athlone finally got the breakthrough in fortuitous circumstances. In the 81st minute a Jamar Campion-Hinds long throw was turned into his own net by Cian O’Malley. Both teams had chances to win the game and despite a scoring app indicating Athlone had won it the game finished 2-2 with a share of the points going to both teams.

Following match day twelve this result sees Athlone move fifth and Wexford move fourth in the table both on nineteen points.

Date: Monday 6th May 2024
Kick-off: 5pm
Venue: Markets Fields, Limerick

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of this much-anticipated match.
Athlone Town have never beaten Treaty in Markets Field so it’s a difficult place to visit for the Town. On Friday last, their first and second half performances were night and day. We will be hoping that it’s the Athlone in the second half we see take the field in Limerick.

The town sit in fifth place on nineteen points.

Treaty haven’t been able to replicate their early season form of late and will be hoping to change that on this bank holiday weekend fixture.

Treaty sit eight on twelve points.

Dario Castelo stated, “We have a few players carrying injuries and the games are coming quickly. The second half was very good on Friday and that’s what I want to think about.”

Team News

Athlone Town AFC have a couple of injury concerns, with Jamar Campion Hinds, Oisin Duffy and Aaron Connolly still struggling with injury only managed 45 mins each on Friday. Noah Van Geenen is still a few weeks away from returning to play. Jarlath Jones returns from suspension.

Past Encounters

Athlone have never really enjoyed playing Treaty having only every beaten them twice. The have played a total of 12 times with Treaty winning 7 of those, so Treaty Manager Tommy Barrett knows what it takes to beat this Athlone side. Their first game this season finished 1-0 to Athlone, an early Aaron Connolly goal on that occasion was the difference.

Key Players to Watch

For Athlone Town AFC, Aaron Connolly’s introduction at half time on Friday changed the game for Athlone. He is someone that when he is playing well, so do Athlone. We hope that he can add to his goal he got the last time the two teams faced each other.

Treaty United Thomas Considine struggled with early season fitness but he is most definitely one to watch for Treaty he has three goals already this season which is an excellent return for the Kildare Man

Men’s Match Report: Cobh Ramblers (H)

Ebbe’s Edge: Securing Victory with Two Dean Ebbe Goals
 

Athlone were victorious in Athlone Town Stadium on the 26th of April 2024 winning 2-1 against Cobh Ramblers.

In fairness to Cobh, they were probably the better team in the opening exchanges but it was a poor start to the game. The first real chance of the game went the way of the visitors after 10 minutes when Charlie O Brien’s shot went wide of the post.

Athlone were dangerous with a long throw and had a chance of their own moments later but Dean Ebbe’s header was wide of the Cobh goal.

In what was a dull first half Athlone were beginning to press Cobh high up the pitch and were rewarded for that in the 41st minute when Dean Ebbe capitalised on Justin Eqauibor delaying on the ball and nicked it to find himself one on one with the goalkeeper. He rounded the keeper and took his time slotting the ball past two defenders on the line to put Athlone 1-0 up.

Athlone had a chance to double the lead just before half time but Carl Mujaguzi fired over the bar and the was the last action of the half.

The second half was a lot better than first with both teams attacking well. Athlone were lucky not to find Cobh level right after the restart when from a long throw they smashed the crossbar.

Athlone doubled the lead after 56 minutes with a brilliantly worked move. From an Enda Minogue goal kick eight passes later, they found the net. It was an excellent move that Dairo had obviously been working on. Going down the right hand side saw possession switched to Torre who had time and space and played a one two with Jamar and then crossed to Ebbe who got to the front post leaving Darragh Burke with no chance to double Athlone’s lead to 2-0.

The long throw from Cobh was causing lots of problems for the Athlone defence and in the 67th minute a throw in from Cian Browne on the right hand side wasn’t cleared far enough by Athlone and it was recycled by Cobh back to Browne who was on the right wing and his cross was controlled superbly by Brendan Frahill who fired the ball home from just inside the 18 yard box, it was a wonderful goal and Cobh were back in the game.

It was all Cobh for the last few minutes and only for two brilliant saves from Enda Minogue it could have been a share of the points but Athlone held out and claimed the victory.

Following match day twelve this result sees Athlone staying sixth and Cobh stay seventh in the table.

Match Programme

Men’s Match Report: Kerry FC (A)

Athlone come from behind to beat Kerry
 

Kerry started the brighter of the two teams and had the ball in the back of the net after 3 minutes when McCarthy played the ball over the top to Kennedy Amechi who chipped the ball over the on rushing Enda Minogue who had heard the whistle for the offside stopping his run.

The Kerrymen did find the front after twenty minutes following a very harsh penalty call. The ball bounced up off the ground hitting Aaron Connolly on the hand from an attempted Athlone clearance. Amechi made no mistake from the stop going low to the keepers right putting Kerry 1-0 up.

Kerry should have made it two moments later when Ryan Kelliher made a great run into the box, beat two Athlone players and rounded Minogue but hit the ball into the side netting.

Athlone probably thought they should have a penalty of their own when Torre was taken down in the area in the 37th minute but Athlone always find themselves on the wrong end of these decisions.

Athlone were starting to play and putting pressure on the Kerry defence and created a couple of chances. Athlone weren’t able to test the Kerry defence in any significant way.

Athlone drew level in the 43rd minute, an Oisin Duffy cross from the right-hand side just near the edge of the box wasn’t dealt with by Samuel Aladesanusi and Ruben Candal slotted it home from 10 yards getting his first goal for the club and we went into the break at 1-1.

Kerry could have had a wonderful start to the second half when from a corner Andy Spain headed back across goal and McCarthy was unmarked but couldn’t find the target with his header.

Things looked like they went from bad to worse for Athlone when Oisin Duffy pulled up while chasing a ball, he tried to stay going but he was able to continue and was withdrawn.

Athlone had a great chance to take the lead in the 57th minute when from a Torre ball in from the right Dean Ebbe climbed highest and his header was cleared off the line by Kevin Williams. It was a great chance to take the lead. It looked like at this point the next goal would win the game.

What happened next, we won’t be able to do justice but Carl Mujaguzi scored a goal of the season contender. Athlone were getting some joy with a long throw from Jamar on the right-hand side. Jamar’s long throw was cleared but only as far as Mujaguzi who with an acrobatic effort found the top left hand corner and put the Town 2-1 up. What a hit if you didn’t see it you need to.

It was really the walking wounded for the away side, when Connolly, who took the captains armband from the injured Duffy was forced off himself with an injury.

Dean Ebbe inspired by Mujaguzi’s goal tried a spectacular effort himself on 77 minutes but it didn’t come off. They had another great chance shortly afterwards when Mujaguzi and Ebbe linked well with a one two and Mujaguzi struck the post from the shot from 18 yards.

It was a real tight affair for the last few minutes and the few substitutes trying to manage to see the game out and Tetteh could have wrapped up the game in the 95th minute when he found himself in on goal but he pulled his shot wide.

Athlone held on for an important win on the road and very happy with the three points on the road which were hard come by this season. It has come at a cost thought with Jones now suspended for next week, and both Duffy and Connolly an injury concern.

Following match day eleven this result sees Athlone staying sixth and drops Kerry to ninth in the table.

Men’s Match Report: Finn Harps (H)

Athlone Home Form Is Growing

Athlone have only lost two of the last ten league games at home and are undefeated in the five home games so far in 2024. They have taken ten of their twelve points in Athlone Town Stadium this season. In a night that saw the main stand in the stadium named after Club President Liam Gaffey, the team rewarded Liam with three points and a good display.

Harps had won every game on the road until now and inflicted the first defeat of the season for Athlone in the first round of fixtures. Athlone have been a mixed bag up to this point but had started to find form at home, so it was set to be an interesting tie. 

Athlone started the brighter of the two teams and the first real chance of the game came after six minutes and fell to the home side who after a really nice passage of play that saw them break down the right wing. They then strung a couple of passes together and moved the ball out to Brian Torre on the left wing who found Carl Mujaguzi unmarked in the area, about eight yards out and his left footed volley was just over the bar.

It was an even contest up to this point and in the 10th minute from a throw in to Finn Harps just inside the Athlone half of the field caught the Athlone defenders napping and Success Edogun held up the ball well and managed to turn defender German Fuentes where his shot found the side netting.

In the 18th minute Harps forward Chris Lotefa found himself with a bit of space and was fouled by Dan McKenna in the middle of the pitch about thirty yards from goal, and the resulting free kick from Tony McNamee never really troubled goalkeeper Enda Minogue who was making his 50th appearance in League of Ireland football.

In the 24th minute McKenna intercepted a poor touch from Harps midfielder McNamee and set his team on the attack, Mujaguzi moved the ball left and found Candal with time and space who crossed to the back post to Amardo Oakley who’s super pass gave Dean Ebbe the simplest of finishes, heading home from inside the six-yard box and putting The Town 1-0 up.

Athlone were limiting the visitors to shots from distance, none of which gave Enda Minogue too much to worry about. In the 42nd minute Athlone thought they had gone two in front when Aaron Connolly’s pass found McKenna whose quick feet managed to get free at the edge of the area, and his side footed effort towards the top right hand corner narrowly missed the post, sending the teams in at the break with the home side leading 1-0.

Harps started the second half brightly and could have gone level straight away when from a well worked through down their left had side a cross found the head of Edogun who’s shot was on target and pulled a wonderful save out of Minogue in the Athlone goal.

The visitors found it difficult to break down the Athlone defence and chances were few and far between for Finn Harps. They had a great chance in the 59th minute when a sloppy pass from McKenna allowed Harps to press and a slip from Fuentes allowed Edogun in one on one with Minogue and his shot was saved again by Minogue who was determined to hold onto his clean sheet.

Athlone could have finally added a second in the 72nd minute when from a mazey run from substitute Jamar Campion Hinds saw him pull the ball back to Ebbe who on the stretch poked the ball towards goal forcing a point blank save from Tim Hiemer in goal.

Athlone had defended well and in the closing minutes of the game. Finn Harps had a shout for a penalty when their left winger came into the box onto a miss placed header from Fuentes and went to ground in the box looking for the penalty but the referee was confident in waving away any protests from the Harps players.

Athlone held on to the clean sheet and took all three points winning the game 1-0.

Following matchday ten this result moves Athlone to sixth and Harps stay second in the table.

Next up for Athlone is the trip to Mounthawk Park to face Kerry FC.

Finn Harps have started the league campaign the better of the two teams and with the kick-off scheduled for 7.45pm, both teams are looking to start the second round of games well.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of this much-anticipated match.

Finn Harps sit second in the league. They will be looking to keep pressure on Cork City and maintain their 100% away record this season.

Harps have only conceded two goals in their last five games and taken points from all five.

Athlone have had some difficulties in facing Finn Harps in recent years and they will be looking to reverse their fortunes and propel themselves up the table with a victory against the high-flying Harps.

Having conceded ten goals in the last five games, issues at centre back couldn’t have come at a worse time.

Team News
Athlone Town AFC will be without Noah Van Geenen who is still sidelined with an injury. Dylan Hand is suspended for the first game of his three match ban.

Finn Harps have Kevin Jordan and Max Hutchison ruled out to injury and both Stephen Doherty and Tim Hiemer may miss out also.

Past Encounters

Tomorrow will mark his 55th senior appearance in football and he is looking to add to his clean sheet from the last home game against Treaty United.

Finn Harps forward Success Edogun who is well known to Athlone Town fans has developed really well since he left Athlone and will be hoping to his three goals this season.

Bray Wanderers 3-0 Athlone Town AFC
Friday 5th April 2024

Athlone Hand Bray Three Points

It Athlone who started the brighter of the two teams and the Seagulls did not have to wait too long to take the lead and it came after a crazy few minutes for the Town.

In the 32nd minute of the game, centre back Dylan Hand was dismissed for an apparent kick out at Grogan and referee Chris Sheehan showed the red card to Hand. From the resulting free-kick Griffin beat Enda Minogue at his near post to find the back of the net for the hosts.

Just four minutes later, Athlone could have been level when Ebbe lifted the ball over the bar from a long ball.
Bray doubled their advantage when Murphy tapped in from close range after Grogan’s acrobatic effort cannoned off the post following Knight’s cross.

Knight played a wonderful pass in behind the Athlone backline who tried to play an offside trap, and Grogan was on hand to slot into the net.

Bray nearly added a fourth with just under 15 minutes left only for captain Oisin Duffy with a goal saving block on the line.

Goalkeeper Minogue was withdrawn due to injury moments before injury time.

Following match day nine this result drops Athlone to seventh and Bray rise to sixth place.
