The Republic of Ireland's
1st Division prepares for another riveting encounter as
Treaty United faces off with
Kerry FC on April 4, 2025. This match is bound to be an intriguing display of skill and strategy, with both teams looking to make significant strides in their respective campaigns.
Team Squads
For
Treaty United, the spotlight shines on Jack O'Reilly, whose prowess in midfield often orchestrates the team's rhythm. Another key player, Liam Walsh, stands as a defensive rock, his timely tackles often critical. Upfront, Alan Murphy has been a reliable goal-scorer, while the energy of young wing-back, Ethan Byrne, cannot be overlooked. Treaty's squad, however, misses Cian Kelly and Tom Lynch, both sidelined due to injuries.
Kerry FC leans heavily on the experience of their captain, Mick Collins, whose leadership on the field is invaluable. Supporting him is Connor Sheehan, a dynamic winger known for his blistering pace. Midfielder Sean Duffy often controls the tempo with his precise passes, and the defensive duties largely rest on the shoulders of Ryan Ward. Unfortunately, Kerry's setup is missing the creativity of injured playmaker, Kevin O'Sullivan, and the defensive solidity of sidelined John Hayes.
League schedule announced
1st Division drops back into focus now, and I’m jotting down what’s coming up—few games predictions worth chewing over. Teams are gearing up, no grand fuss, just that quiet hum before they lock horns. At all, here’s the rundown next. University College Dublin tangle with Dundalk, 04 April 2025 — two sides that don’t mess about. Finn Harps line up opposing Longford Town at 04 April 2025, expect goals flying if they’ve got their shooting boots on.
That’s the lot laid out—enough to get your head spinning. 1st Division doesn’t lie—if you’re leaking goals in April, you’re in trouble .
