TREATY United face the first of two crucial SSE Airtricity League First Division fixtures in the space of 72 hours this Friday night when making the long trip to Donegal to take on Finn Harps.
Kick-off at Finn Park in Ballybofey is 7.45pm.
Tommy Barrett's Treaty United side then make a quick return to action when hosting Athlone Town at the Markets Field on Bank Holiday Monday, May 6, 5pm.
Treaty United will be hoping to end an eight-game winless run in the league when facing fifth-placed Finn Harps this Friday.
Treaty suffered a 2-0 defeat to UCD in their most recent league outing at the Markets Field on Friday night last.
Missing marquee forward Enda Curran, alongside Yousef Mahdy, highly-rated young Croom native Leon Kirrane made his first league start as he led the line against the students.
The result sees Treaty sit in seventh place in the league table, now six points off the promotion play-off places.
Afterwards Treaty United manager Tommy Barrett said of this week's trip to Ballybofey: “Harps are a very physical big side. It was a terrible game when we played them last, but I would expect it to be a very physical battle next week.
“Hopefully, we can just get back to basics and try to get a result, that’s all we can do.”
