Drogheda United survived a second-half scare to defeat Athlone Town 2-1 at United Park.
First-half goals from Luke Gallagher and Colm Deasy gave the Drogs a comfortable 2-0 lead at the break.

Athlone's comeback was effectively ended in stoppage time when Ciaran Grogan was dismissed for a second yellow card.
