City boss relishing Swedish test

CORK CITY boss Damien Richardson is very positive about his team’s chances of progressing further in this year’s UEFA Cup, admitting that if his side play to their potential, they could extend their european ambitions into September.

City face their second difficult Scandinavian assignment in two seasons after drawing Swedish league leaders Djurgårdens IF.

Already the Stockholm-based clubs’ chiefs have sought to rearrange the first leg for Cork due to a rock festival taking place in the Swedish capital, but City bosses have stuck to the assigned dates which sees the eircom league leaders travel to Djurgardens on August 11th with the return leg two weeks later at Turner’s Cross.
