Referee:

Another win for Athlone
A revitalised Athlone easily out-classed a disappointing Cobh Ramblers in a one-sided contest at St Mel's Park.
The home side dominated throughout, but only had Alan Kelly's 26th minute strike to show for their superiority. Kelly latched onto a Warren Parkes' header to slide the ball under John Donegan.
Willie Byrne was denied a dramatic late equaliser when his 87th minute header was cleared off the line by Jan Fitzell.
Athlone could even afford to spurn an injury time penalty when Fortune smacked the spot kick off the post after Tommy Cregoe had been dismissed for handling Stephen Mullen's goal-bound header.
