Great week or so for Treaty with three wins on the bounce

Success scored two lovely goals last night, the equaliser was an absolute cracker.
I’d say Treaty had a record number of corners too.
Hopefully the lads all had it backed.
Haven’t seen them this year and unlikely to. Is there any hope for them?
Seems like any decent player they get will just be taken off them for peanuts.
Seems to be a huge drop in TFK buzz for the mighty candystripes this season for sure
I’ll head over to Cobh and watch Friday night for my sins

It is only just beginning for Treaty, any youngster now wants to play for them at u14 up, the trial numbers were off the scale. I have two lads who will hopefully make it form my team next year.

Is the Limerick FC academy very much the poor relation?
Were Cobh haunted to get the goal? Got an acca up on that and an 88th minute Celta winner
I couldn’t get over after bud. I can’t drive and my spin flaked on me

The Limerick FC academy is a pipe dream spouted to kids to get them to join. They have no real community to choose from and tel kids they can play LOI which is a lie.

Canadian investment firm to buy League of Ireland club with former Ireland international as CEO
Tricorps Pacific Capital will take charge of Treaty United, making Ciara McCormack the game’s first female chief executive.
——
A CANADIAN INVESTMENT firm is set to take joint control of League of Ireland club Treaty United.
The 42 can reveal that Tricorps Pacific Capital will invest a significant sum in both the men’s and women’s sections after more than nine months of discussions.
Former Republic of Ireland international and current Treaty player Ciara McCormack is understood to be co-owner and will move into the boardroom to become the first female chief executive in the League of Ireland.
McCormack is a native of Vancouver in Canada and qualified for Ireland through her parents. Tricorps is a Vancouver-based fund that is the majority owner of more than 80 private companies within manufacturing, distribution, food, transportation services, industrial and real estate sectors.
They are also understood to have interests in rugby league in England.
Confirmation of the takeover is expected in the next 24 hours when the current board, led by chairman Conn Murray, step aside.
On their website, Tricoprs describe themselves as a “a leading Canadian family office, actively investing our own capital and operating knowledge in a diverse group of companies and investments. Our intention is to build and hold our investments intergenerationally to create a lasting impact on the lives of our partners, our employees, our families and our community.”
The 42 understands that the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) have been kept informed of developments.
This looks set to be a first foray into the football world for Tricorps founder and chief executive officer Rod Senft.
Treaty are the semi-professional club that emerged in the aftermath of the demise of Limerick FC in 2020, continuing to play their home games at the Market’s Field.
It remains unclear how this will affect the future of men’s boss Tommy Barrett or counterpart Alban Hysa in charge of the women’s team.
The men’s team are currently sixth in the First Division and vying for a place in the promotion/relegation play-off series, while the women’s side are 10th in the Premier Division, five points off the bottom.
Should that not go a vote of the supporters?
Outside investment is the only real way out of the 1st division, with all the financial doping going on
A venture capital fund doesn’t seem like the best owner tbh.
What will be the rebrand of the new club when it finally falls apart? Chicken Hut United, the super blues will play in a green home strip
