Goal! Athlone grab a point at the death! Scheriff heads home from the centre of the box and finds the bottom right corner! 4-4

Four minutes of added time to be played in Tallaght.

SSE Airtricity player of the match awarded to O'Leary after an impressive brace.

Goal! Athlone cut Rovers' lead down to one. A scramble in the box from a corner sees stabs at the ball from both side, the ball eventually finding the back of the net, coming off McCarthy last.

Scheriff nearly gets her second of the game, Hennessy blocking out her shot inside the box.

Goal! Scheriff latches on to a long ball over the top and drops the shoulder past Fox, finishing well past Budden to reduce to deficit to two.

Herron and Ralph come off for Zambra and Kelly.

Three subs on for Athlone as Isabel Ryan, Slevin, and Devaney come on to replace Brennan, Molloy, and Singleton.

Goal! A scramble in the box sees O'Leary pass to Ralph, who's shot was eventually block. The ball falls to O'Gorman, who fires across goal to make it four, and almost secure her title as the season's top scorer.

Goal! O'Leary gets her second! The winger drives inside from the left before curling an effort from outside of the box, the ball flying into the top right corner as Keane is sent sprawling to no avail.

Singleton goes for a shot from distance (about 30 yards) but fails to find the necessary power or placement as Budden comfortably collects.

Play gets back underway for the second half.

Half-time: Shamrock Rovers 2-1 Athlone Town.

Three minutes of injury time to be played in Tallaght.

Goal! It's been a flurry of goals here in Tallaght! O'Gorman swings in a cross from the right wing that looks to be unpromising, Shine looking to head the ball clear. It's a poor clerance that falls straight to the feet of Ralph, who reacts quickly, firing across goal and into the bottom left corner to restore Rovers' lead.

Goal! A nice passing move from Athlone sees the ball worked to Madison Gibson on the left side of the box, the American producing a powerful finish across goal to level affairs!

Goal! Lia O'Leary opens the scoring! It's an odd one, O'Leary putting an in-swinging cross into the Athlone box that ends up veering towards Keane's goal. Keane finds herself flat foot-footed as the ball clears her head and flies into the top left corner.

A huge chance for Rovers! Thompson picks up the ball in the midfield and does well to thread Gargan through on goal, the full back drawing a good save from Keane. The rebound falls to Thompson, who opts for a thunderous strike that cracks the crossbar.

Sheriff catches the ball on the break at the halfway line but is left far too isolated without another Athlone player in sight. The forward's forced to go on her own and does well to win a corner off Shauna Fox.

Ryan goes down with a knock, Athlone's physio now tending to the team's captain.

A rather uneventful opening period in Tallaght, Rover dominating the ball but failing to fashion any clear sights on goal as of yet.

Rovers work the ball up to Gargan on the right flank, who sends a cross looking for O'Gorman in the centre of the box. The pass falls awkwardly to O'Gorman, who's forced to knee the ball goalwards, Keane comfortably colecting.

Action gets underway in Tallaght Stadium!

Athlone come into tonight's clash on the back of seven successive victories across all competitions. Ciarán Kilduff experiments with his squad selection-perhaps with next week's cup final in mind-making four changes from Athlone's 2-1 win over Wexford Youths. O'Neill also makes four changes to last week's line up against Treaty United.

Reflecting on the season’s end, O’Neill expressed his pride at the progress this relatively new squad has made. “The growth of the whole team from when we came together in January to play with the style of play that they are now, and how comfortable they are on the ball. Their intelligence and work rate. Their growth has been phenomenal. “Although we don’t have any trophies or silverware to show for it at this moment in time, I’m extremely proud of their growth. “There’s been some great progress there and a lot of players have come on leaps and bounds, so it’s no surprise that there’s a lot of competition there for the Player of the Year award. “As a coach, that’s the way you’d want to be at the end of the year. It just means that an awful lot of the players have done their work.”

“I don’t think she has ever looked at those little milestones or targets, she’s just the ultimate professional. She takes one game at a time and she knows what’s in front of her and that’s this Saturday. She’ll try her best, like she does every game to get onto the scoresheet for us.”

Collie O’Neill’s side come into the clash off a comfortable 4-1 win against Treaty United last week, Áine O’Gorman netting a brace. O’Gorman heads into this evening’s fixture as the league’s top-scorer with 11 goals, Athlone’s Dana Scheriff her closest rival with ten. O’Neill backs O’Gorman to come out on top: “It’s not like Áine needs any other kind of motivation,” he said speaking to club media.

Afternoon all and welcome to our coverage of Shamrock Rovers vs Athlone Town. It's the final match week of the LOIW and a win will secure a second place finish for Rovers, Athlone Town currently lingering in fifth place with the potential to move up to fourth.
