Athlone Town Welcome Black Cats to Athlone Town Stadium

Athlone Town FC are delighted to announce Roy Keane’s Premiership Sunderland will be coming to Athlone this summer to take on “The Town” in glamour friendly in Athlone Town Stadium.

This game will take place on Thursday 7th August with a 7.30pm kick off and is sure to be a complete sell out.

Ticket prices will be announced in the coming week through the local press and on our official website www.athlonetownfc.ie

Special note to all Sunderland supporters: You are all very welcome to Athlone and to register your interest in receiving an information pack in the coming weeks please visit our official website www.athlonetownfc.ie and follow the links to leave your details.

Next Match

Athlone Town play host to league leaders Shelbourne on Sunday 25th May. Kick off 3pm. Manager Dermot Lennon will be without Ciaran Kelly (shoulder) and Niall Scullion (knee) as they look to get a confidence boosting home win against the team that many expect to win the First Division. Shelbourne are on a very good run at the moment having secured 12 points from 12 in their last four games including an impressive 3-1 defeat of Dundalk despite playing over 80 minutes of the match with 10 men.
