Treaty United host Longford Town in crucial First Division fixture

TREATY United will look to make it four wins from five in the SSE Airtricity League First Division this Friday evening when hosting struggling Longford Town at the Markers Field, 7.45pm.

Treaty got back to winning ways when recording an impressive 4-0 league win over UCD at the Garryowen venue on Friday night last.

That result helped Tommy Barrett's Treaty side boost their promotion play-off hopes. Treaty sit in fourth place in the First Division table, eight points between third-placed Cobh Ramblers and clear points clear of fifth-placed Wexford.

A plethora of quality individual performances coupled with an impressive impact from the bench in their win over UCD gives Barrett plenty to think about ahead of the visit of Longford.

Trpimir Vrljičak epitomises that following a goal and an assist after his introduction. Barrett was full of praise for the Croatian who could yet be in line to start against Midlanders.

“He makes a good impact when he comes on. I’ve no problem starting him. It depends how Mark’s (Byrne) back is, Mark came off with a back injury, Karl’s (O’Sullivan’s) knee is a bit swollen so we’ll assess them during the week and we’ll put out what we think is the best squad against Longford Town.”
