With a history stretching back to 1887, Athlone Town are the oldest club in the League of Ireland, taking part in competitions since 1922. The Lissywollen outfit won two top-division titles in the early 1980’s, in what was a glorious decade; which saw them also claim League of Ireland Cup, League of Ireland First Division and B Division wins; along with FAI Youth Cup honours.
Since the 1990’s the club has struggled somewhat in terms of national successes, although they returned the top-flight, after their second-ever LOI First Division win in 2013; but were subsequently relegated and they have remained in the second-tier since.
Athlone’s Women’s team feature in the WNL for just the second time and will aim to improve on their seventh placed debut last year.
