Treaty United welcome UCD to the Markets Field

Treaty edge the head-to-head after their early season 1-0 victory at the UCD Bowl, sealed by an Enda Curran strike on 72 minutes.

Treaty United welcome UCD to the Markets Field in the League of Ireland First Division at 7:45pm this Friday night, as they look to pick up their first victory in seven games.

Tommy Barrett’s side beat the Dublin outfit in the second game of the season, picking up a 1-0 win on their travels to the capital.

A bright start to the season for the Shannonsiders has since slumped, coinciding with an injury crisis that has ravaged the squad, and they are now winless in their last seven games.

Heading into Friday night’s clash, UCD are unbeaten in seven, winning four of those.

Treaty edge the head-to-head after their early season 1-0 victory at the UCD Bowl, sealed by an Enda Curran strike on 72 minutes.

The first ever meeting between the sides saw a long-range effort from Kieran Hanlon put United 2-0 up at the Bowl before the students produced a comeback win.

The sides met in the 2021 season promotion play-off semi final, with UCD picking up a 3-0 victory at the Markets Field.

In the return leg, Treaty went into the break leading 1-0 through a Conor Melody goal. When Anto O’Donnell made it 2-0 just after half-time, the comeback appeared to be on.

A Stephen Christopher red card swung the momentum back in favour of the Dublin side, and Adam Verdon netted to end Treaty’s promotion dreams. UCD went on to secure promotion to the Premier Division.

Treaty had a big win when the sides met the next season in the FAI Cup quarter final. Enda Curran bagged a hat trick and William Armshaw got in on the goals to see the hosts pick up a comfortable 4-1 victory.
