Treaty 1-1 Bray

(Curran)

Entertaining, end-to-end stuff at the Markets Field.

We were 1-0 down early on when a Bray attacker took advantage of confusion between the Treaty defence and keeper over who would claim a ball, but were almost level straight away when Armshaw put Dean George in but he delayed his finish. We were level when a beautiful ball over the top by Ludden was coolly lobbed over the stranded keeper by Enda Curran, and Curran missed another chance before halftime when he sliced a chance.

The second half was frantic stuff, with decent chances at both ends and both defences stretched at times. In the end we had Shane Hallahan to thank as he made a brilliant save from a point blank shot after a cross had been knocked down in the area, and that was the last action of the game.

Next game: Away to Kerry FC, Friday July 7, 7.45pm.

Kerry 2-3 Treaty

(Ludden, George, Curran)

I wasn't watching this, just going off updates, which seems just as well as the automated ball-tracking camera had a bad night in the rain and missed some of the goals.

Kerry scored in the first minute and last minute, and forced Hallahan into a number of saves throughout the game, but 2 first half goals from Ludden and Dean George had us ahead at the break.

Then, what's fast becoming a trademark lob by Enda Curran after another perfect pass by Dean George, put Treaty in the driving seat against the bottom side in the division with 15 minutes to go. Kerry had pressed for most of the second half and came close late on, hitting the crossbar when a goal might have made for a nervy finish, but the late goal they did get was too late to be anrthing other than a consolation.

Decent results for Bray and especially Athlone mean we don't close the gap on the playoff spots as much as we'd have hoped, and next week won't help!

Next game: home to Waterford, Friday, July 14, 7.45pm

Tonight's match against Waterford has been called off - the heavy rain meant the pitch failed an inspection about 45 minutes ago.

I see Shane Hallahan is leaving. Going to be very light in the goalkeeping department unless Winn is fit again.

FAI Cup: Treaty 0-2 Cork

Was only going off updates for this one.

In the first half it seemed even enough, and it was Treaty who possibly came closest through a deflected Dean George shot that needed saving, and a Willie Armshaw shot that clipped the crossbar, while Conor Winn had to make a smart save in a one on one with a Cork attacker.

It was 1-0 cork early in the second half though, with a header from a corner, and 2-0 when a super pass sent a Cork player in to finish past Winn. Salt was rubbed in the wound with Darren Nwankwo being sent off deep into injury time.

Next game: away to Wexford, Friday July 28th, 7.45pm.

Wexford 1-0 Treaty

Was only following this on twitter (sorry, on X) and by the looks of it, a fairly even and mediocre game, but wexford nicked a goal just before halftime and though we pressed later on, we never really came close to finding an equaliser.

We may still reach the playoffs (given 5 of the 9 teams are involved) but it's clear we've regressed significantly since last season.

Next game: home versus Longford, Friday April 4th, 7.45pm.

Treaty 2-3 Longford

(Lennon, George)

Treaty came out on the wrong end of an absolute rollercoaster tonight.

We started well enough and went ahead when Dean George flicked on a Ludden throw and debutant Adam Lennon glanced home at the far post. Longford weren't creating all that much, but their balls over the top were dangerous and they equalised when one of those long balls was cut back from the endline for a smart finish past Corey Chambers in goal, another debutant. There wasn't much in the rest of the first half but we went ahead just before half time when a smart pass found George just outside the area, and he swivelled to create space to fire a shot into the bottom left corner.

We probably had the better of most of the second half, although neither side created much until about 15 minutes to go, when it became really open and stretched. Longford nearly equalised from a glancing header that needed a save and forced a scramble, while we butchered one opportunity after another to create a one-on-one with their keeper.

The equalised on 87 minutes with a beautiful freekick from about 20 yards out, and the last 10 minutes was chaos, with both sides going for it, incredible end-to-end stuff. Eventually though, a scooped ball over the top of the Treaty defence did the damage, and although they needed a couple of goes at it, it was eventually poked home for a 95th minute winner.

We sink to 9th in the table, though we are absurdly only a handful of points off the playoffs.

Next game: away to Galway, Monday August 7th, 7.45pm.

Galway 3-0 Treaty

Unsurprisingly, nothing out of the short trip north this evening.

We were 1-0 to a penalty after 8 minutes. Chambers actually saved it but came off his line in doing so and the retaken effort was scored. By the sound of the updates, we actually put in a decent attacking performance and hit the post twice in the first half, though we needed some good saves from Chambers also.

Galway added a second shortly before half time, and though we pressed early in the half, we faded later on and Chambers made more saves before Galway added a third late on.

Next game: away to Finn Harps, Friday August 11, 8pm.

Finn Harps 0-1 Treaty

(George)

Great to get back to winning ways with a solid performance against a team who'd beaten us twice this season, and we overtake them in the table too.

Not much happened in the first half. It was quite even and the best chance was probably when Adam Lennon's touch let him down when he had a chance to go one-on-one with the keeper.

We scored right at the start of the second half, when Stephen Cristopher drove at the defence before George found the space for a shot that somehow found its way into the bottom near corner. Their keeper will be disappointed.

It was quite end to end after that. Twice we needed goalline clearances when a goal seemed certain, and Chambers made a good save to keep out a vicious dipping shot, while we wasted some chances to engineer one-on-one chances on the break. We were pretty comfortable for the most part though.

Next game: home to Kerry, Friday August 25th, 7.45pm.

Great result that. The long trip home will be a lot easier after that.

Friendly: Sligo 2-0 Treaty

Somehow this slipped under my radar completely until my phone pinged with Sligo's first goal last night, and with only two updates from the Twitter page, at HT and FT, I'm still none the wiser regarding anything other than the lineup and final score line. Hopefully no injuries and some fitness improvements.

Next game: home to Kerry, Friday August 25th, 7.45pm.

Treaty 3-1 Kerry

(Curran x2, Guerins)

We made rough work of this at times, before finally getting over the line.

We started brightly and had more of the ball and territory for most of the first half. We were 1-0 up when Curran wrestled past a defender to poke home a low Ludden ball into the box, but Kerry equalised out of nothing when Mark Walsh dived to head a cross away from danger, only to glance it into his own bottom corner.

Kerry had much the better of things for the first 20 minutes of the second half, and we needed a superb goalline clearance to stay level. Then it was Treaty's turn to score out of nothing, as Kerry got sloppy passing round the back and Curran again was on hand to finish a low ball across the box. That knocked the stuffing out of them, and we were comfortable after that, and finished things off when a corner made its way over everybody to the waiting Sean Guerins who sidefooted low back across the goal and into the far bottom corner.

We go ahead of Bray in the table, and have 48 hours before a match with Waterford.

Next game: Home versus Waterford, Monday August 28th, 7.45pm.

Treaty 2-2 Waterford

(Edogun x 2)

Super comeback against a team who'd battered us already this season.

We started appallingly and were 2 down within 10 minutes. Firstly, just a minute in, a low ball across the box was spilled by keeper Chambers and a bit of pinball ensued, ending when an attempted clearance hit a Waterford player and looped into the net. We were 2 down from a penalty after Robbie Lynch brought down a Waterford player.We came back into it after that, but while we had loads of territory and possession, we lacked any cutting edge in the final third.

This continued in the second half, with Waterford content to sit back and defend, and it looked like they'd see it out. They had a chance to seal it when they were awarded another penalty midway through the half, but Corey Chambers made a very good save. Then, out of nothing, Egodun arrived first at a ball over the top and lobbed the stranded keeper, and 10 minutes later he engineered a yard of space on the edge of the area and lashed a screamer into the far top corner, and it was 2-2 and if anything, we looked the more likely to win it, but there were no more clear-cut chances.

Super stuff after a dreadful first 10 minutes.

Next game: away to Cobh Ramblers, Friday September 1st, 7.45pm.

c.p.w.g.w

Great Game, the first 10 minutes aside, the second Waterford pen looked soft, parson was looking to go down before he went into the box...both of success' goals were brilliant...very disappointed with the attendance, due to work I've not been able to get to games on Fridays since before CoVid really

Cobh 1-0 Treaty

Cobh grabbed a very very late victory in a fairly entertaining game.

It started evenly enough but Treaty got the better of things midway through the first half and were the better side without creating anything really clearcut. The closest we came was when Edogun wriggled a yard of space and crashed a shot against the crossbar, with the keeper's fingertips making the difference.

It was more even in the second half, again without any great chances. Cobh forced a couple of good saves, as did we, and we hit the post again with a low shot from Colin Barry. In injury time it was real end to end stuff, and unfortunately, Cobh were the ones who found the net, with a back post header from a deep corner in the 95th minute.

Harsh on the team after a solid performance, but that's how it can go. The playoffs look ever more unlikely.

Next game: home to Wexford, Friday September 8th, 7.45pm.

Treaty 1-2 Wexford

(O'Riordan)

I was ont on the town in Glasgow so only got goalscoring updates for this on.

We went ahead from Ben O'Riordan just before the break, and even though Corey Chambers saved a penalty around the hour mark after Lee Devitt received a second yellow, Wexford scored 2 in 10 minutes later on, so that's more or less that in terms of the playoffs - not that they mean all that much anyway.

Next game: away to Bray, Friday Septmeber 15th, 7.45pm.

osarusan

Bray 2-2 Treaty

(Edogun, Walsh)

We needed a late late leveller tonight, despite leading for much of the game.

We were ahead early on through a long range screamer from Success Edogun, who's making something of a habit of that. We had other chances as well, and a disallowed goal, but Bray were creating chances also, especially as the half wore on.

Their pressure continued to build in the second half, with Chambers making good saves, but they scored two goals in 4 minutes late on. Two similar goals, with attackers being slipped in behinds the defence to finish.

We pressed late on, but it looked like we'd leave with nothing, until Mark Walsh pupped up to head home in the 94th minute to grab a point.

Next game: home versus Athlone, Friday September 22nd, 7.45pm.

osarusan

Treaty 4-1 Athlone

(Ludden penalty, Edogun, Cristopher x 2)

A red card changed everything in Limerick tonight. Athlone had started well and went 1 up with a header from a corner (which Treaty had conceded in dreadful fashion with passing around the back going over the endline). But 10 minutes later an Athlone player handled a goal-bound header on the goalline, earning himself a red card and giving away a penalty which Ludden converted.

We had much the better of things for the rest of the game, and created plenty of chances, the best of which in the first half was Dean George hitting the crossbar. In the second half, after an even enough opening 10 minutes, we were ahead when Edogun jinked himself a bit of space in the box before finishing low to the keeper's right.

Athlone were stretched and exhaused, and we added two more late on as they fell apart at the back. Twice, Stephen Cristopher was in the right place to place cool finishes beyond the keeper, one into each bottom corner.

A comfortable win that hinged on the early red. We are not going to make the playoffs, and for good reason, but still, nice to get the win.

Next game: away to Longford, Saturday September 30th, 7.45pm.

osarusan

Longford 2-3 Treaty

(Barry x 2, Lennon)

It looked like a dull enough first half, with Treaty edging things but failing to create anything clearcut, but the second half was a bit of a thriller.

We went ahead after hard work from success Edogun was rounded of by Colin Barry's first goal for the club, but Lonford were level just 5 minute later. We went back ahead when Dean George attempted a spectacular volley but his skewed effort ended up being the perfect cross for Adam Lennon to head in at the back post.

It looked like we'd sealed things when Barry scored again, after being set up by Lennon following more work by Edogun, but Longfor kept going and hit the crossbar twice before pulling one back with 3 minutes to go, but we held on for the win.

It moves us to 6th in the table, and although we're only 5 points behind Athlone and there's 3 games remaining, two are against Galway and Waterford so the chance of catching them is slim, though we've a decent shot of 3 points next week.

Next game: home versus Finn Harps, Friday October 6th, 7.45pm.

osarusan

Treaty 2-0 Finn Harps

(Ludden penalty, George)

We keep our faint playoff hopes alive tonight.

There was nothing much happening in the first half. Harps created very very little, while both Edogun and George blazed over from decent positions for us.

We got the better of things in the second half, and Ludden put us ahead from the spot after Dean O' Shea (I think) had been upended in the box. Harpc continued to offer very little, and we made it 2-0 when Dean George glanced a near post corner into the far bottom corner. We looked the more likely to add to it, and Edogun came close, but it was always very comfortable. Athlone lose so we're still in it, mathematically at least.

Next game: home to Galway, Friday October 13th, 7.45pm.

Too late to edit the post, so for those interested please note that the Galway match is actually Saturday October 14th at 3pm.

Just heard that on Newstalk, but also referenced that it was from https://www.the42.ie/treaty-united-takeover-6185102-Oct2023/

Strange one, as not exactly any assets to strip and very few have ever made any money out of LOI without being in European competitions, and that would require serious investment.
