Tony Griffiths put the Leinster Senior League side ahead from a seventh minute penalty. Two fine strikes from distance from Ian Sweeney, in the 31st and 66th minutes, looked to have booked Athlone’s passage.

But Robert Douglas earned Bluebell a deserved replay at Lissywollen tomorrow night with a stunning volleyed equaliser from some 30 yards in the 76th minute.
