Sam Verdon’s double saw Longford Town claim the bragging rights as they dispensed of Athlone Town by two goals to nil.

Sam Verdon’s double just before half-time sealed the el classico victory for Town and their first win since the season resumed.

Verdon opened the scoring five minutes before the break, converting a low curling effort after Longford had put significant pressure on the visitors.
