Treaty United seek hat-trick of league wins with trip to Kerry

TREATY United will look to boost their promotion play-off hopes in the SSE Airtricity League First Division when travelling to Tralee on Friday night to take on Kerry FC in a crucial Munster derby at Mounthawk Park.

Tommy Barrett’s Treaty United battled to an invaluable 2-0 win away to playoff rivals Finn Harps in Ballybofey in the SSE Airtricity League First Division on Friday evening.

Goals from Robbie Lynch and Mark Byrne secured the three points for the Limerick-based side as the Treaty men leapfrogged Wexford into fourth place in the table, three points clear of UCD, who lie just outside of the promotion play-off berths.

The win ensured Treaty United made it back-to-back league wins. The Garryowen-based side returned to winning ways in the First Division with a precious 1-0 victory over Athlone Town at the Markets Field.

Yoyo Mahdy’s strike, 19 minutes from time, proved decisive as Tommy Barrett’s men ended a three-match winless streak in that game in front of an impressive attendance of 1,033.

Following Friday's trip to Kerry, Treaty's second successive away fixture, the Limerick-based side return to the Markets Field for a Friday, May 16 meeting with UCD. Kick-off is at 7.45pm.
