City not counting their chickens

DAMIEN RICHARDSON will be urging his Cork City charges against complacency ahead of tonight’s UEFA Cup first-qualifying-round, second-leg tie against runaway Lithuanian league leaders, FK Ekranas, at Turner’s Cross (ko 7.30pm).

If Cork pass the Baltic test, they could face Scandinavian opposition in the next round.

Cork's achievement in the first leg should not be underestimated. FK Ekranas is the seeded club for this UEFA Cup tie and two nights ago Liverpool had to come from a goal behind to beat Kaunas currently 15 points behind Ekranas in the league.
