Jaze Kabia’s seventh goal of the campaign opened the scoring for Cobh only for hosts Athlone to strike late on to snatch a point.

It was Gavin Kearney’s 83rd-minute leveller which cancelled out Kabia’s first-half goal, the defender bundling home from close range after an Athlone free-kick.

Athlone remain a point and a position behind Cobh in the SSE Airtricity First Division table in eighth.
