O’Connor optimistic ahead of Bohs clash

Michael O’Connor will take to the dugout in Saint Mel's Park for the first time in 10 years on Friday night, as he takes charge of his Athlone Town team against Bohemians.

“I'm looking forward to my first game back in Mel's,” he told athlonetownfc.com. “I'm gone from standing on the terraces to managing my home town team, so I'm very proud to be honest.”
