Athlone are also due to play Hand's previous club, Longford Town, at the stadium next Monday evening (April 6) at 5pm. Also, the Athlone women's team, who are still without a new permanent manager since the departure of John Sullivan, will start their Women's All-Island Cup Group C campaign with a home fixture against Cork City on Saturday evening (6pm).
