Caulfield’s men bidding to keep good run going away to in-form Treaty rivals

By Keith Kelly

GALWAY United will have to leave the recently-found home comforts behind them for the next couple of games as they face back-to-back testing trips on the road, starting with this Friday’s visit to Limerick to take on Treaty United (7.45pm).

The league’s newest club had just five weeks to put together a squad after only receiving confirmation in late February of a successful application to play in the league, but they have hit the ground running and sit second in the table heading into the weekend’s games.

Shelbourne aside, they are the form team in the division, with four wins from their last five games, and the team that plays just a street away from Limerick’s jail have taken few prisoners on their home patch, with Cobh Ramblers the only side to take anything away from the trip to the Markets Field thanks to a 1-1 draw back in April.

Tommy Barrett’s side have beaten Wexford, Athlone, Cork City, and Bray Wanderers on their home patch this season, while they were unlucky to concede an equaliser three minutes into injury-time when they took on United at Eamonn Deacy Park back in April.

As for United, they look to have hit their stride in their last two games, and kept a fourth clean sheet of the season in last week’s win over Cabinteely, and John Caulfield believes his side will have to keep a clean sheet this Friday night if they are to take anything from the game.

“Every game is difficult and in a league where things are very tight, the most important game is next Friday against Treaty,” he says when it is put to him that United face two tough away games in the next week – they are away to third-placed UCD on Friday week.
