The Blues earned their eighth consecutive victory on Monday night when they defeated Athlone Town 5-2 in Lissywollen. Goals from top goalscorer Phoenix Patterson (X2), Louis Britton - who scored his tenth goal of the campaign as his loan came to an end and has since joined title rivals Cork City and Roland Idowu (X2) gave Danny Searle's side an emphatic victory to leave them four points off Galway United with a game in hand.
