Treaty United welcome high-flying Athlone Town to the Markets Field

TREATY United will be looking to build on last week's 2-2 draw against Finn Harps when they welcome Athlone Town to the Markets Field on tonight.

Tommy Barrett's side had taken a 2-0 lead in Donegal last Friday night thanks to Jason Folarin-Oyenuga's first half brace.

The hosts rallied late on however and goals from Gavin Mcateer in the 78th minute and a late Conor Tourish goal in the 94th minute meant that Treaty's search for their first three points of the season goes on.

Treaty face an Athlone side who have made an impressive start to the season, winning three and dawing one of their opening five games.

The Midlanders have recorded some noteworthy wins to date at home to Finn Harps, away to Kerry FC and at home to Cobh Ramblers.

A win tonight for Treaty United would give the Super Blues the chance to rise to as far as seventh in the table, depending on the results of teams in and around Treaty at the foot of the table.

Last season, Barrett's charges went undefeated against Athlone, registering three wins a draw.

The home support in the Markets Field will be hoping for that trend to continue on tonight. 

Kick-off in Garryowen is at 7.45pm and the tie will be broadcast live on LOITV.
