Athlone won an entertaining local derby when they had three points to spare over Caulry in the second round of the senior football championship at Hogan Park Moate last Sunday evening.
The Shannonsiders enjoyed a four point lead at half time as Pat Flanagan’s men only recorded two scores in the opening half. There was an improvement in the second half as Caulry fought back to take the lead but Athlone finished stronger to emerge victorious.
