This Friday’s opposition, Treaty United, come into the game on the back of a narrow 1-0 home defeat to Bray Wanderers. The Limerick outfit, under the guidance of Tommy Barrett, made it to last year’s FAI Cup semi-final and finished in the 2022 First Division play-off places.
Ahead of this week’s encounter at Eamonn Deacy Park, Caulfield said:
“It’s the first home game of the season so it will be a big night for our supporters.
“We need to start brightly as Treaty are well organised, very strong defensively, good on counter-attacks and dangerous on set-pieces.
“It is a local derby – they have a strong Galway contingent in their team so we have to be at our best from the get-go.
“We hope to build on last week’s win against Harps.”
