CLINICAL Treaty United secured three precious points in the SSE Airtricity Women's Premier Division after securing an exciting 2-0 victory over DLR Waves at UCD Bowl on Saturday afternoon.
The convincing victory ended a four-game losing run for Treaty United in the league.
First half goals from Delana Friesen and Danielle Steer helped Dominic Foley's Treaty United side secure an impressive victory.
First-half goals from Delana Friesen and Danielle Steer in the 11th and 27th minutes ensured that the gap between the two sides is now four points, the same amount that separates the Waves and Sligo Rovers at the bottom of the table.
