New boys Treaty United are aiming to continue their unbeaten debut season this Friday, when they host a Cobh Ramblers side chasing their first league point.
The Limerick side sit 4th in the table after two games; but their Munster counterparts are rooted to the bottom after two big losses. The first of those defeats came against Rebel County colleagues Cork City, before the Dublin students hit them for 4 goals in their last game.
Stuart Ashton side, who finished 6th in this league last season will be hopeful that their experience might show in Limerick as they attempt to get their first points of the season.
Due to Covid, a lot of teams have had huge issues in recruiting because of financial issues. Cobh’s recruitment has mainly been localised, picking up players from around Cork who have experience in the Munster Senior League.
David O'Leary (Avondale United), Ciaran Griffin (Cobh Wanderers), Caelian Rooney (Youghal United), Jake Hegarty and James McCarthy (Middleton) have all been added to the squad.
Stuart Ashton will be hoping that one or two of these players might come to the fore to help star man Charlie Lyons get a result on the night.
Tommy Barrett’s side are yet to concede a goal in the competition, albeit they have gone down to 10-men in their opening two games.
Treaty’s backline is well marshalled by last week’s game winner Anthony O’ Donnell; along with versatile club captain Jack Lynch. It will be very difficult to see how Cobh will break through this resolute rear-guard especially with them on home turf.
With exciting talent like Joel Coulstrain and Conor Melody in attack Friday could be the night that these players will show their skill and finishing ability and finally open their account for the club.
If the Shannonsiders can finish the game with 11 men, it will be very difficult to see anything but a win for this fledgling new club.
