Wexford – Athlone Town

Athlone Town travelled to Wexford and left with a clean 2‑0 victory, widening the gap between the two sides in the league table. The win lifted the visitors to seventh place with 41 points from 31 matches, while the home side slipped to eighth on 37 points, having scored just 34 goals all season. Both clubs have exchanged blows this campaign – each with a win and two draws in their six head‑to‑head meetings – but the result in Wexford tipped the balance in Athlone’s favour. The three‑goal deficit in Wexford’s goal difference (34‑46) now looks even more precarious as the season heads into its decisive stages.
