WATCH: Super strike by Athlone's Robbie Benson up for 'goal of the season' award

A magnificent goal by Athlone man Robbie Benson is in contention for the SSE Airtricity League 'Goal of the Season' award.

The 30-year-old Mayfield Grove native who plays for Dundalk had a 2022 campaign that was hampered by injury.

However, one of the highlights of his season came during a game away to Derry City, in May, when he opened the scoring with a masterful left-footed strike from well outside the box.

Robbie's goal is one of eight that were shortlisted this week for the 2022 SSE Airtricity Premier Division Buy4Pets Goal of the Season award. The winner will be chosen by public vote on the league's Twitter account, and will be announced on Thursday.
