MARKETS Field will host an extravaganza of football this weekend as for the first time this season, both Treaty United's League of Ireland Senior Men's and Women's teams will be playing in Limerick on consecutive days. 

Tommy Barrett's Senior Men's side will first take to the field when they host Athlone this Friday at 7.45pm. They will be looking to bounce back after a 2-0 defeat to Wexford FC on Bank Holiday Monday. The Limerick side will be hoping for a repeat of the reverse fixture this season, where they ran out comfortable 5-0 winners in what was a magnificent display.

The club's women's team will look to continue their fine form when they welcome Munster rivals Waterford FC to Markets Field the following day. Kick off is at 3pm as kick off their All Island Cup campaign in a group that also includes Athlone Town and Glentoran of the NIFL. They will be seeking a positive start hoping to emulate last year's campaign, which resulted in the team making it out of the group stages. 

Treaty United encourages all supporters to make the journey to Markets Field this weekend to cheer on both teams. The club are offering free tickets for clubs and schools across the region in an attempt to inspire the youth in the county to become lifelong followers of the Shannonsiders.
