History will be made on Friday night in the Markets Fields in Limerick when Treaty United host Wexford FC in their first every home game in the League of Ireland First Division.
Having opened there maiden league campaign last weekend in the east of the country against Bray. The midwestern side managed to come away from that game with a solitary point, even after they got a man sent off in the game.
Brian O Sullivan’s Wexford side will be looking for a different result after they lost their first game of the season away to Cabinteely.
This trip to Limerick will be extremely tough as Treaty are very strong in defence, this was very evident from Barrett’s side last weekend against Bray especially when they held a dangerous side scoreless after being reduced to 10 men.
Wexford will have two key men returning from injures that affected both players pre-season with the club. If Dan Tobin and Charlie Smith are going to be available for O’Sullivan’s side on Friday night. It will be a timely return to fitness.
Unfortunately Wexford’s two new signings Anto Dolan and Cameron Smith still remain unavailable due to the long term injuries they have picked up. Barrett’s young side are relatively inexperienced at this level. With a squad made of mainly Limerick and Clare based amateur players. Barrett will be looking for the players with League of Ireland experience under their belt to try and gain a historic victory for the club.
This game will be available to watch on LOITV for anyone that has an interest in soccer in the Midwest or the south east or anyone who want to witness a little bit of League of Ireland history in the making.
