Treaty United's Historic Quarter-Final Run Ends & Back To Winning Ways In The League!

By Emma Dineen

AVENIR SPORTS ALL-ISLAND CUP - GALWAY UNITED (A)

The Treaty United ladies made history by reaching the quarter-finals of the Avenir Sports All-Island Cup for the first time since the club's establishment. Facing a formidable opponent in Galway United, who had started their season with impressive form, the Treaty ladies rose to the challenge. Despite a valiant effort, a penalty awarded to Galway, converted by former Treaty player Jenna Slattery, was the sole factor separating the two sides. This narrow defeat marked the end of their cup journey in a match brimming with potential.

The ladies will eagerly anticipate the two upcoming league clashes with Galway, hoping for a different result. Moreover, their FAI Cup campaign is about to commence, featuring a promising home fixture against Fern United.

WOMEN'S PREMIER DIVISION - SHAMROCK ROVERS (H) + DLR WAVES (A)

In Women’s Premier Division action it’s been a busy few weeks for the Treaty side.
The ladies were eagerly looking forward to a third encounter with Shamrock Rovers this season, having secured draws in both the cup and the league in their previous matches. Unfortunately, it wasn't their day as Shamrock Rovers brought their A-game, culminating in a 1-3 scoreline in favour of the visitors. However, the match was a showcase for the team's recent signings, with Americans Anna Rockett, Kayleigh Shackford, and Canadian Danielle Steer making their club debut. Highlighting the occasion, Steer also found the net in her first appearance.

After a series of narrow losses in recent weeks, the July 13th fixture against DLR Waves allowed the Treaty side to return to winning form. In previous encounters this season, Treaty and the Waves drew 1-1 in the cup, while Treaty triumphed 2-0 in their season opener. This latest match at the UCD Bowl mirrored that opening fixture, ending 2-0 in favour of the Limerick ladies. Delana Friesen broke the deadlock in the 11th minute and new signing Danielle Steer scored again, sealing the victory for Treaty.

Treaty United looks forward to welcoming Wexford FC to the Markets Field next Saturday, July 27th, with kick-off at 5pm.

10 Things We've Learnt About Treaty United This Season

By Emma Dineen As the League of Ireland First Division heads well beyond the midway point, Treaty United find themselves at a crucial juncture. With a mix of promise, challenges, and intriguing storylines unfolding, the 2025 campaign has been anything but dull for the Markets Field faithful. From a solid defense to a squad that’s arguably too big, and a star midfielder carrying much of the goal-scoring burden, the first half of the season has given me plenty to think about. Here are 10 things I’ve personally observed about Treaty United so far, and what I believe they mean for their ambitions moving forward… (All Photos From KBD Photos) 1. A Rock-Solid Defensive Spine Keeps Treaty Ticking While much of the chatter around Treaty United in 2025 has focused on their attacking output, it’s the backline that’s provided the real foundation for consistency. A settled core four of Ben Lynch, Eóin Martin, Robbie Lynch, and Evan O’Connor has emerged as the preferred starting four, with Corey Cha...

Playoffs Slipping Through The Fingers: A Turning Point For Treaty?

By Emma Dineen All opinions expressed are 100% my own, unless stated otherwise. It’s been a rough few weeks for Treaty United. Draws upon losses and no league win since early July. With just eight games left, the pressure isn’t just building, it’s biting. Even the online chatter has shifted. Back in spring, fans were buzzing about playoff pushes and the squad’s potential. Now? The conversation is sharper. Criticism of tactics, team selection, even the club’s direction is bubbling up. After nearly five years, the honeymoon period is seemingly coming to a close. Then came Dundalk. What was meant to be another gritty night against the league leaders turned into a collapse for the ages. Treaty’s flaws didn’t just show; they were neon-lit for all to see. Dundalk Run Riot At The Markets Field Just over a month ago, I wrote that Treaty had quietly carved a reputation as one of the league’s trickiest opponents for the big boys. In 2024, Cork City couldn’t lay a glove on them: four meetings, no...

Back for More: Treaty United and Derry City Set for FAI Cup Rematch

By Emma Dineen There’s something different about cup nights in Limerick. The floodlights, the sense of occasion, the chance to defy expectations. This Friday, the Markets Field will once again play host to that magic, as Treaty United welcome Premier Division heavyweights Derry City in a mouth-watering Second Round tie in the 2025 Sports Direct Men’s FAI Cup. A Rivalry Reignited The backdrop to this clash is rich in recent drama. The last time these two sides met in the FAI Cup was in October 2022, under the lights at the Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium. On that occasion, Derry struck early, with Jamie McGonigle and Brandon Kavanagh putting them 2–0 up inside 16 minutes. Enda Curran pulled one back from the penalty spot after Jack Lynch was fouled, but despite a late surge from the visitors, including a near miss from William Armshaw, Treaty fell just short. Derry marched on to the final, where they would eventually lift the trophy. Two years later, the roles are reversed in some ways....
