Sherlock heads Athlone to victory

Mark Sherlock’s early header was enough to give Athlone Town their fourth win of the campaign at Eamonn Deacy Park, Galway last night.

Athlone should have taken the lead after just three minutes but Brian Gill’s poor effort was well smothered by Eric Browne.

However, six minutes later the excellent Sherlock headed Gill’s cross past Liam Grant, via the underside of the crossbar.
