Match Report
Treaty United into last Eight after victory at Maynooth
Treaty United are into the FAI Cup quarter-finals after they emerged 3-0 winners against a determined Maynooth University Town side.
Strikes from Enda Curran, William Armshaw, and Lee Devitt saw the First Division outfit through with relative ease after a bumpy first half.
On paper, this had the potential of a Cup banana skin for Treaty as Maynooth flew out of the traps, impressing with their attacking intensity. Paddy O’Sullivan was a danger to the away side and goalkeeper Conor Winn, into a couple of smart stops.
Yet for all their dominance, Maynooth gifted the first goal of the night to their opponents. Joe Collins nipped possession from Paul Concannon and set Enda Curran away one-on-one. His finish was clinical, and Treaty went into the break, with a rather smash-and-grab, one-goal lead.
The action-packed feel of the tie resumed after half time when Conor Melody won a penalty despite going down dramatically under very minimal contact. Curran, uncharacteristically though, fluffed his lines from twelve yards out, his kick saved by Shane Fagan.
By response, Sean Traynor brought the best out of Winn when he launched a vicious strike at the Treaty goal and Winn acrobatically tipped it behind.
Curran’s penalty miss was then rendered immaterial as Treaty doubled their lead with fifteen minutes remaining. Dean George tiptoed into the box, Colin Conroy, in possibly his first touch on as a substitute, miscued his backheel but fellow sub, William Armshaw was perfectly placed to tap home.
Maynooth, having exerted so much energy, in a fine first half display, were tiring and subsequently, conceded a third. Lee Devitt slalomed through weak attempted tackles and rifled home easily, putting a flattering seal on the score line for Treaty.
Despite the late concessions, this was still a commendable overall performance by the Leinster Senior League Club. For First Division Treaty, a playoff place in the league may take priority but they can now also look forward to the FAI Cup quarter final draw with a vested interest.

Double Treaty change as Colin Conroy and Martin Coughlan come on
Attacking change for Maynooth as forward Sven Biansumba is on for the final 25 minutes. They're very much still in this while it just the one goal difference
Pierce booked for expressing his frustration into the referee's face
Stephen Christopher into the referee's book for a handball then kicking the ball away after. Silly booking from the midfielder
Winn keeps Treaty ahead, reacting quickly to repel Shane Traynor's well-struck effort
Curran has missed a penalty that was won, very softly, by Conor Melody. Shane Fagan denies him! It remains 0-1
Back underway, William Armshaw is on for Treaty too
Half Time, Treaty ahead and Maynooth, somehow, without a goal to show for their excellent first half performance
Callum McNamara is the first player booked, albeit softly, for a push
Warfield again goes close and is only denied by brilliant, last-gasp defending by Darren Collins!
Nearly an immediate reply as O'Sullivan forces Treaty keeper, Conor Winn into action, tipping his dangerous shot behind. From the corner, Warfield nods wide
The First Division side lead! Its a horrible moment for Maynooth midfielder, Paul Concannon who is pickpocketed by Joe Collins. He slides in Enda Curran who finishes ruthlessly one-on-one against home keeper Shane Fagan. A bitter pill for Maynooth to swallow
Darren Collins connects sweetly with a long-range driver that flies not far over. It says a lot that this is the best scoring chance for Treaty so far
Treaty are being forced into lots of fouls by Maynooth's fearless intensity. From one, Pierce lets fly with a cross-come-shot that goes over the top
Its Maynooth who have started the brighter side, extremely comfortable in possession and posing a threat most recently through Paddy O'Sullivan's teasing cross in which just evades the energetic Callum Warfield and Jackson Ryan
Maynooth's Dylan Pierce is lively in the opening stages here but no clear-cut chances for either side yet
Underway!
