City waiting on Bennett fitness

LIKE Prague’s famous Astronomical Clock which, disappointingly, is undergoing renovation in the Old Town Square, Cork City’s stand-in manager Dave Hill is keeping his selection for tonight’s Uefa Cup game against Slavia Prague firmly under wraps.

And there will be final consultation by telephone with Damien Richardson today before the starting eleven is decided upon.

However, there was no hiding the main talking point in the Cork camp yesterday. Kafka is the usual literary name to drop around these parts, but this time our own Samuel Beckett is more appropriate, since the prevailing theme in the build-up might be called 'Waiting for Benno'.
