The Downs lost narrowly by two points to Athlone in a equally matched contest that swayed back and forth during a course of a tough hard fought game. Despite having an equal share of possession The Downs had difficulty converting this possession into scores and better composure in front of goal by the Athlone team eventually settled the game in favour of Athlone. The display by the team bodes well for the coming league and championship.
