Treaty United welcome Bray Wanderers to the Markets Field for a repeat of the 2025 First Division Playoff final.
Treaty United come into Friday night’s game following a heart breaking end to their opening night game at the Munster FA Turners Cross Stadium with a injury time goal being the difference between 2 sides in a entertaining Munster derby on Leeside.
For Bray Wanderers, they took the lead early in their opening game of the season against Longford Town but were pegged back early in the second half thanks to a former Treaty United star in Dean George with the game finishing 1-1 at the Carlisle Grounds.
