Match Report: Wexford 0–0 Treaty United | Ireland First Division | June 27, 2026

A forgettable stalemate at Ferrycarrig Park saw Wexford and Treaty United play out a goalless draw. Neither side could find the net in a match that lacked quality in the final third, though both defences deserved credit for keeping clean sheets in a competitive but largely uneventful encounter.

Match Overview

The game started with Treaty United looking the more likely to score, with winger Mark O’Callaghan forcing a smart save from Wexford goalkeeper Sean O’Brien in the sixth minute. Wexford grew into the half and had two decent chances themselves: first a header from striker John O’Neill that sailed just wide, then a shot from midfielder Aidan O’Rourke that was blocked on the line.

The second half was a scrappy affair, with both teams struggling to create clear-cut opportunities. Wexford pushed for a winner in the final 15 minutes, but Treaty’s defence, led by captain James O’Reilly, held firm. The final whistle was greeted with muted applause from the small crowd.

Key Moments

• 6’ – Early save: Sean O’Brien palms away a fierce strike from Mark O’Callaghan.
• 28’ – Wexford chance: John O’Neill’s header goes just over the crossbar from a corner.
• 44’ – Block on the line: Treaty defender Karl O’Brien denies Aidan O’Rourke with a last-ditch intervention.
• 76’ – Wexford sub: Striker Sean O’Connor comes on but fails to make an impact.

Tactical Story

Wexford set up in a 4-3-3, aiming to control midfield and create chances through the wings, but Treaty’s 4-5-1 defensive shape congested the centre. Treaty’s game plan was to absorb pressure and hit on the counter, but their final pass was consistently poor. The match became a battle of attrition, with neither team able to break the deadlock.

Standout Players

• Wexford: Sean O’Brien – Made a couple of important saves and commanded his area well to earn a clean sheet.
• Treaty United: James O’Reilly – Organised the backline superbly, making several clearances and blocks.

Table & Season Impact

The draw leaves Wexford in 3rd place with 35 points, now ten points behind second-placed UC Dublin but with a game in hand. Treaty United remain in 7th on 22 points, but this point on the road will be welcomed as they aim to climb away from the relegation scrap. Neither side will be happy with the lack of goals, but the defensive solidity was a positive for both.
