Treaty United lose out to Galway in First Division at Eamonn Deacy Park

TREATY United slipped to their second successive defeat at the start of the new SSE Airtricity League First Division season when going down 1-0 to Galway United at Eamon Deacy Park on Friday night.

Galway United scored the only goal of the game in the 37th minute when Rob Slevin headed home from Donnellan's corner.
