John Sullivan has stepped down as manager of the Athlone Town women's team after just one match in charge of the SSE Airtricity Women's Premier Division team.

Sullivan's surprise resignation comes just five days after the champions opened their league campaign with a 1-1 draw against Sligo Rovers.
