Finn Harps have suffered their first away defeat of the season as they were beaten 1-0 by Athlone Town in the SSE Airtricity League First Division this evening.
Athlone dominated proceedings in the first half and deservedly led at the interval thanks to a Dean Ebbe strike on 24 minutes.
Darren Murphy’s side did improve in the 2nd half but couldn’t find a break-through.
The result means Harps have failed to capitalise on a slip up from leaders Cork City, as they could only manage a draw in Dublin against UCD.
