Kerry FC take on Athlone Town AFC this week after a disappointing 2-1 loss against UCD AFC last Friday at the UCD Bowl.
Kerry come into this fixture with a 2-1 loss against UCD AFC in the UCD Bowl. In this fixture, it was only UCD players who scored the goals. Kerry FC’s goal came from an error by UCD defender Carl Lennox. The own goal wasn’t good enough to make the Kingdom win this game as they lacked mentality in the second half of the match.
Athlone come into this game with a 2-1 home win against Finn Harps. A goal from Peter Grogan in the 13′ minute and an own goal from Finn Harps forward Idir Zerrouk gave the team the win. This was a symbolic game for The Town as they haven’t won a league fixture since May of last year.
