Treaty United
Wins have been hard to come by for Treaty United in recent months as Tommy Barrett looks to make the most out of an injury ravaged squad.
Just five goals have been scored in the last 10 games. Defeat to Athlone Town on Monday was the latest in a disappointing run of results.
A Daniel Ebbe goal almost immediately after the second half kicked off was enough to condemn Treaty to defeat. A late rally, despite the sending off of Evan O’Connor, did not yield a goal.
However, most games have been close affairs, it’s surely only a matter of time before Treaty’s luck turns.
Wexford FC
Sixth-placed Wexford travel to the Markets Field after what will be deemed a positive draw away to Cork City on Monday.
The league leaders took the lead early through Barry Coffey but a resolute Wexford levelled through Kaylem Hartnett just before half time and held out for a point.
They also went into their last fixture against Treaty following a 1-1 draw against Cork City.
Past Meetings
Treaty didn’t manage a win against Wexford in four fixtures last season.
The final of those games saw Treaty 1-0 up through a Ben O’Riordan goal but a sending off for Lee Devitt saw the match turn on its head. Danny Furlong equalised and Kian Corbally grabbed the winner in the 79th minute.
Treaty’s most notable win over Wexford was a 5-1 victory on a very windy February night in 2022. Goals from Callum McNamara, Joel Coustrain, Joe Gorman and Enda Curran with a double gave Treaty the win.
Finding themselves 2-0 down at Wexford in their last meeting, the Limerick side battled their way back into the game with a stunning free kick from Yoyo Mahdy followed up with another clever finish by the striker that had Treaty level on 84 minutes.
Heartbreak followed jubilation though as Cian Curtis popped up with a winner for Wexford in the 89th minute.
