Doolin: we’re under no illusions

FIRST the good news: Drogheda United did themselves and the eircom League proud with a battling performance in their 1-2 defeat by Dynamo Kiev at Dalymount Park on Tuesday night.

Now the bad news: next week they must travel to the Ukraine and hope to do at least as well against a powerful Kiev side on their own patch.

“Look, we’re under no illusions,” says Drogs boss Paul Doolin. “Apart from anything else, Dynamo are at home and you’ve got 32 degree temperatures as well so that doesn’t help, but we have to go and play and we look forward to it and we’ll see what happens.”
