Athlone IT 3-10
Trinity College 0-10

Athlone IT safely negotiated the challenge of the Ciaran McKeever managed Trinity College in today's Sigerson Cup Preliminary round clash at Clanna Gael Fontenoy's grounds.

Goals from Kieran Kilcline and Cillian Fitzgerald boosted Athlone into a 2-5 to 0-5 half-time lead. Backed by a strong wind advantage in the second-half, Kieran Martin added a third major from a '45' and they pulled away to finish with nine points to spare.

Athlone's reward is a first round clash against UCD next Tuesday.
