Treaty United face crucial Athlone Town clash at Markets Field

TREATY United will look to get their promotion push in the SSE Airtricity League First Division back on track when hosting Athlone Town in a crucial fixture at the Markets Field this Friday evening, 7.45pm. Sixth-placed Treaty secured one point from their two First Division fixtures over the Easter holiday period.

Tommy Barrett's side followed their gritty 1-1 home draw against leaders Dundalk at Good Friday with a disappointing 2-0 defeat away to Wexford FC on Easter Monday. Both goals in Treaty's draw with Dundalk came in the second half; Yoyo Mahdy coming off the bench for the home side to cancel out Daryl Horgan’s opener in front of an attendance of 1,283 at the Garryowen venue. Treaty have drawn both of their fixtures against Dundalk in the league this season.



For the trip to Wexford on easter Monday, defender Darren Nwankwo started for Treaty United for the first time in 276 days following his recovery from injury. Colin Conroy, Yoyo Mahdy, Connor Wilson and Chris Horgan also came into the starting team. However, Wexford claimed the three points on offer with first half goals from Kaylem Harnett and Mikie Rowe as the home side sit fourth in the table.
