Athlone throw league race wide openAthlone have thrown the race for the Women's National League title wide open with a victory over league leaders WexfordYouths on Saturday. It was The Youths who took the lead early on in the game after a penalty was given from the referee. A massive result for Athlone, and whilst Wexford remain at the top of the table, this win for Athlone really closes the gap at the top. McGuinness flashed a shot narrowly wide on 51 minutes, and on the hour Amy Boyle-Carr scooped the ball wide having done well to create space for the shot. They would live to regret that miss when, with just six minutes remaining, Leah Kelly floated a free into the Treaty box.
