Pragmatic Shels ready for Riazor challenge

ONE of the benefits of advancing this far in European competition is that the draw can send you to some of the most beautiful corners of Europe.

But Shelbourne will have no time to appreciate the attractions of La Coruna and its neighbouring pilgrimage city of Santiago De Compostela until they have settled matters with Deportivo tomorrow night.

This north-west corner of Spain is a little distant from the more popular package holiday destinations at the opposite end of the country and more attractive because of that.
