Kerry FC travel to Athlone on Monday to face Athlone Town AFC for the final time in this season’s league campaign.
Last Time Out:
Kerry FC come into this match on the back of a 2-1 defeat to UCD at the UCD Bowl last Friday. Despite the loss, a goal from Ronan Teahan was a bright spot, offering some promise in what was otherwise a frustrating result for the Kingdom side.
Athlone Town AFC also suffered a narrow defeat last Friday, losing 3-2 to Treaty United at the Markets Field. It was a closely contested match, but Athlone were unable to come away with any points.

Kerry FC – Ronan Teahan stood out in their recent 2-1 loss to UCD, showing composure and creativity in midfield. Despite the defeat, his individual performance was a positive takeaway. Ronan has also proven to be a threat in front of goal, having scored three times in previous encounters against sides like Dundalk and Athlone Town. Could he once again rise to the occasion and play a decisive role for Kerry FC in Monday’s clash?
Athlone Town AFC – Gideon Tetteh continues to impress this season, with six goals to his name so far. The young forward has shown flashes of real potential and has been a consistent attacking outlet for Athlone. With the team pushing to reach the 20-point mark in the league, Gideon could be the one to make the difference against Kerry FC.
Prediction:
Kerry FC will be looking to bounce back from their disappointing performance against UCD last Friday. They’ll be eager to find the net in this fixture as they aim to gain an edge over Longford Town in the league standings.
For Athlone Town, it’s been a challenging season so far, but this match offers a chance to turn things around. A win here would certainly lift the spirits of both the team and their supporters.
