Spanish giants give Bohemians further incentive

BOHEMIANS will face Spanish giants Deportivo La Coruna in the third round of the Champions League should they overcome Norwegian champions Rosenborg in the second round.

The draw for the third round was made in Switzerland yesterday with the Gypsies given a great incentive when they line up against Rosenborg next week.

Deportivo are tried and trusted Champions League veterans, having qualified in each of the last three years, reaching the second phase last season and the quarter-finals in 2002. The third round first leg takes place on August 12 or 13, which would be a home game for the eircom League champions, with the second leg two weeks later. However, Stephen Kenny and his players will not be getting carried away as they keep their minds firmly on tomorrow's FAI Carlsberg Cup second round clash with Dundalk before turning their attention to Rosenborg.
