Nine-man Athlone Town further stretched their lead at the top of the first division table thanks to two goals each from Philip Gorman and Enda Curran at Fahy's Field last night.
Mervue's hoodoo against the midlanders continues as Ryan Manning and Barry O'Mahony missed penalties for the hosts and Aidan Collins and Paul Skinner saw red for Athlone. Town took the lead from the spot when Mervue keeper Conor Gleeson upended Curran and Gorman slotted home.
Stephen Walsh headed Mervue level before Gorman put Athlone 2-1 in front just before the break as Gleeson missed a ball after the restart and Curran tapped into the empty net.
Tom King gave Mervue hope with a fine finish to make it 3-2 before Curran netted his second and sealed the win for Athlone. Skinner saw red late on for striking Walsh and O'Mahony missed Mervue's second penalty of the night striking the bar.
