Treaty United welcome Longford Town for First Division meeting

However, Treaty won three of the pair’s four clashes last season, and will be confident going into this one.

Treaty United welcome Longford Town to the Markets Field in the League of Ireland First Division at 7:45pm this Friday night, as they look to put in another good performance following last week’s draw away to Cork City.

The Shannonsiders managed a point at Turners Cross, as the league leaders failed to break down what was a resolute Limerick defence.

Tommy Barrett’s men sit eighth in the table, ten points off the playoff spots, but three clear of Friday’s opponents Longford who prop up the table.

Longford won the last meeting between the sides, a 2-1 victory at home just two weeks ago. However, Treaty won three of the pair’s four clashes last season, and will be confident going into this one.

Perhaps there is no better opponent than both of the table to end a 14-game winless run that has tormented the Shannonsiders for the past months, their last win coming away to Kerry FC on March 1st.

Treaty United winless run:

• Bray Wanderers (H) 2-2
• Cork City (H) 0-0
• Finn Harps (H) 0-1
• Athlone Town (A) 1-0
• Wexford FC (A) 3-2
• Kerry FC (H) 0-0
• Bray Wanderers (A) 2-1
• UCD (H) 0-2
• Finn Harps (A) 1-0
• Athlone Town (H) 0-1
• Wexford FC (H) 2-2
• Longford Town (A) 2-1
• Cobh Ramblers (A) 1-1
• Cork City (A) 1-1

Kick off is at 7.45pm in the Markets Field on Friday evening.
