Cristopher’s left-footed delivery was powerfully headed home by Lynch, who delivered a celebration to match with an emphatic knee slide.
Treaty United got back to winning ways on Friday evening, as they won 2-0 at home to Bray Wanderers in the League of Ireland First Division.
The Shannonsiders remain eighth in the table after the result in the Markets Field, but are now just seven points adrift of Bray and the promotion playoff positions.
This is Treaty’s fifth win of the season, having endured a torrid run from March right up until the end of May without a victory. This can be something to build on.
A goal from Yoyo Mahdy against his former side, as well as Robbie Lynch’s first ever senior goal was enough to give the hosts the three points on Friday evening.
A nice move after six minutes saw Tommy Barrett’s men enter the Bray box, Stephen Cristopher’s headed attempt forcing Stephen McGuinness to react with a save.
Lee Devitt and Cristopher went close to opening the scoring as the first-half rambled on, but it was Mahdy who put Treaty into the lead, the forward in the right place to finish off Mark Byrne’s attempt which hit the post.
Leading 1-0 at the break, the hosts continued to attack in the second 45, and found their second goal in the 56th minute, when Cristopher’s left-footed delivery was powerfully headed home by Lynch, who delivered a celebration to match with an emphatic knee slide.
Three much needed points for the Shannonsiders, who now turn their attention to Thursday evening’s trip to Wexford.
