Longford Town are now unbeaten in seven matches.

Longford Town are now unbeaten in seven matches following a 0-0 draw with Treaty United at  Bishopsgate in the SSE Airtricity League First Division.

The opening exchanges were uneventful but Town almost took the lead on 29 minutes only for the goal to be ruled out for offside.

Town were awarded a free kick after Sam Verdon was fouled out wide on the left before Eric Molloy headed Dean McMenemy's delivery into to the net only but the goal didn't stand.

A minute later, the hosts had another chance but Shane Elworthy's 25 yard piledriver was brilliantly tipped over the crossbar by Treaty goalkeeper Jack Brady.

On 33 minutes, Town missed another chance. Aaron Robinson connected with Dylan Barnett's corner kick but his effort was cleared off the line by Lee Devitt.

Treaty's Enda Curran subsequently missed two chances to open the scoring. On 35 minutes he headed Marc Ludden's throw-in over the crossbar and two minutes later, he capitalised on a mistake by Barnett but his shot was repelled by Luke Dennison.
