Goal!!!! Athlone send one last ball forward and it falls to Van Geennan, who finds the net via a deflection. The full time whistle immediately blows. An insane match here.

Athlone send a late cross in but no one meets it.

Six minutes added on.

Athlone are pushing hard for this equaliser.

Goal! Athlone have a lifeline after Pierrot plays Louis through and he pokes his eventual effort in!

German Fuentes Rodriguez seems to win a tackle cleanly on the edge of the area, but a foul is given and he's booked.

Goal! It falls to Curran in the area from the corner and he slams it in! Treaty are on route to their first win of the season here!

Now Treaty have a free close in under very dubious circumstances. The wall sends it behind for a corner. Athlone are still puzzled.

The home crowd are furious with the ref after the gives the ball to Treaty following a drop ball that Athlone had possession of beforehand. That with the no offside call for the Curran goal and Campion Hinds second yellow have made him unpopular here.

Chance! The ball lands to Pierrot in the area and he turns and shoots with the goal at his mercy. His effort is right at Hallahan, who pushes it behind.

Campion Hinds puts in a late challenge on Devitt and gets his second yellow. Athlone dominated the first half, but in the blink of an eye are a goal down and now a man down.

Goal! Enda Curran is slipped through on the right hand side and slips it in! Bit of controversy as Athlone seem adamant it should've been offside.

Curran hits a free just wide.

Back underway.

Half time

Abdikadir drills it into the box and Louis gets a shot off but it's blocked. It then falls to Abdikadir from the corner and his strike is just wide. Two minutes injury time.

Enda Curran is slipped in but the first touch is heavy. Routine for Minogue.

Pierrot nearly pulls off a very good dribble through the Treaty backline but is dispossessed as he's about to pull the trigger.

Campion Hinds twists and turns on the right hand side of the Treaty box. He fires a ferocious effort at goal but it's just wide.

Barry drives forward solo for Treaty's first resemblance of an attack this match. Blazes the eventual effort over.

Good attacking play from Connolly on Louis on the right. They win a corner but Athlone commit a handball and Treaty win a free out.

Athlone are piecing together good attacking play but aren't quite breaking Treaty down. Home side on top so far.

Another good chance for Athlone. Hickey slips it to the near post but Pierrot can't direct his eventual effort goalward. Another chance that should've been taken.

Early chance for Athlone. A cross comes from the right and Campion Hinds meets it, but heads wide. Arguably should've scored.

And we're off.

Teams are out, kick-off is nigh.

For Treaty, four former Athlone players start. Those are Conor Barry, Success Edogun, Andy Spain and Enda Curran, who played in the last Athlone side to get promoted.

Jack Kavanagh is injured and is out for Athlone. Donal Curtin replaces him and comes up from the bench. Adam Lennon is also back from injury and is on the bench.

The teams are now in.
