League Preview: Kerry -v- Treaty United

None

KERRY

League of Ireland new boys Kerry welcome nearest Munster neighbours Treaty United to Mounthawk Park on Friday night (kick-off is at 7.45pm).

The Kingdom have once again sold out their ticket allocation for this game, with 1200 fans expected to descend on the Tralee venue for the game.

And they will come into the game with a newfound sense of purpose with Leo Gaxha netting their first ever senior League of Ireland goal against Bray Wanderers last week.

And speaking to extratime.com after the game Dennehy said: “Leo has a great desire to go and kick on again. “He is back from Sheffield United where things haven’t worked out for him and he is at the rebuilding phase of his career.

"I was there myself when I came home from Sunderland. But he has the right attitude and I am delighted that he is the first goalscorer for Kerry in the League of Ireland.

"Hopefully there is more to come from him."

Kerry are expected to be without Mark Carey for Friday's game through injury as Trpimir Vrlijack is ruled out with an ankle injury. Matt Keane (broken nose), Junior Ankomah and Graham O'Reilly are all doubts.

TREATY UNITED

After starting their season with two consecutive losses, Treaty United will be hoping that they can get their season up and running when they take on Kerry. 



The side's have not played against at senior League of Ireland level before - but they are two of the newest club's on the block. 

But Tommy Barrett's side will be keen to be the first team to lose against Kerry this season. 

Treaty lost their opening game of the season against Bray Wanderers at the Market's Field before then losing to Galway United in their second league outing. 

Treaty United have not issued any team news at time of publication for the game.

Referee: Eoghan O’Shea.
