GALWAY UNITED
Galway United will be looking to return to winning ways when they host Athlone Town at Eamonn Deacy Park on Friday night (kick-off 7.45pm).
Two weeks ago, the Tribesmen suffered a huge blow to their promotion ambitions when they were defeated 4-0 by Shelbourne at Tolka Park.
All is not lost for John Caulfield’s side however, they lie just two points outside the playoff positions and a win on Friday could even move them above Athlone Town and into third place.
Caulfield welcomed the mid-season break and the manager is ready for the rest of the First Division campaign starting with Friday night’s fixture.
