A goal in each half gave Cobh Ramblers a valuable 2-0 away win against troubled Athlone Town at Lissywollen.
Colin Fortune and Mick Dolan took charge of a much-changed Athlone team following the recent departure of Alan Mathews as manager.
Fielding a number of their under-19 squad, the home side started well and carved out the first two chances. A header was wide and a 25 yard free kick was saved by Hunt.
Cobh Ramblers took the lead in the 40th minute. Top scorer Shane O’Connor shot home from an Ian Mylod cross.
Ramblers were two-up early in the second half when striker Stephen Christopher scored their second on 56 minutes.
Athlone Town: Sean Nolan; Daniel Molloy, Michael Monaghan, Jack Quinn, Craig Short; Ian Fletcher, Val Feeney, Daragh Concannon, Conor Barry, Joseph Moloney; Ryan Gaffey.
Subs not used: Aidan Byrne, Ciaran Maguire, Sean McGrane, Ciaran O’Connell, Shane O’Keeffe, Aaron O’Neill, Claudio Silva.
Cobh Ramblers: Paul Hunt; Charlie Fleming, David Curran, Kevin Mulcahy, Ben O'Riordan; Eoin McGreevy, Ian Mylod, Graham McCarthy, Chris McCarthy, Shane O'Connor; Stephen Christopher.
