The Teams
Treaty United
Treaty United picked up a point away to UCD last Friday but will be disappointed not to have picked up all three. They took the lead before the break through Mark Byrne but UCD struck back on the hour mark to level the scores. UCD were reduced to ten men with less than twenty minutes remaining, but Treaty failed to grab a winner.
This game will provide a welcome distraction from First Division action for Tommy Barrett’s men, but Barrett himself has spoken about how they will need to be at their best to overcome a Kilbarrack side that are a potential banana skin.
Friday could see a first start, and home debut for Lee J Lynch, as well as some other rotation within the squad.
Kilbarrack United
Kilbarrack ply their trade in the Leinster Senior League Senior Sunday division, the highest level of amateur football alongside the Munster Senior League equivalent. They finished their season in third place, sixteen points behind league winners Lucan United. They qualified for the FAI Senior Cup by reaching the Last 16 of the FAI Intermediate Cup, with their journey in that competition ending at the hands of Ringmahon Rangers at the quarter final stage.
While Kilbarrack are an amateur side, they do possess some players with Deiric Hyland and Aaron Humphries having been recently capped for the Irish Amateur team. Daniel Byrne, Alex Cetiner and Daniel Tobin all have League of Ireland experience to their name.
