Galway United make the short trip up the M6 to Athlone Town for their seventh outing of the SSE First Division on Friday night – kick off is at 7:45pm.

We’re looking to keep our run going. They (Athlone) are really powerful up front in the forward positions, but at the same time, we’re on a really good run of form and we want to keep it going.”
