FOURTH-PLACED Treaty United return to action in the SSE Airtricity League First Division this Saturday evening when travelling to Bishopsgate to take on Longford Town, 7.30pm.
Treaty United played out a 0-0 draw with UCD at UCD Bowl in their First Division fixture played in difficult wet conditions on Friday night last.
Treaty boss Tommy Barrett made one change to his starting XI from the side which lost to Wexford a week previous as Mark Byrne came into the team in place of Yoyo Mahdy. David Tarmey and Fionn Doherty returned to the matchday squad for the game in Belfield.
The draw leaves Treaty United in fourth place in the First Division table, just one points behind third-placed Wexford, but eight points adrift of table toppers Dundalk and six behind second-placed Cobh Ramblers.
Treaty's opponents this Saturday, Longford Town, are second-from-bottom in the First Division table, four points behind Treaty, but with a game in hand on Tommy Barrett's charges.
Following Saturday evening's trip to Bishopsgate, Treaty United's next home fixture in the First Division of the SSE Airtricity League will be a Friday, April 4 Munster derby clash with Kerry FC at the Markets Field, 7.45pm.
