Kenny keeps faith, despite scale of task

Dundalk manager Stephen Kenny is refusing to throw in the towel on his side’s Europa League challenge ahead of tonight’s second qualifying round second leg clash with Hajduk Split in Croatia.

The Louth men travel to the Stadion Poljud needing to produce one of the finest performances from by an Irish side in Europe in order to turn around a 2-0 first leg deficit from last Thursday.

Goals in either half from Mijo Caktas and Nikola Vlasic have left Igor Tudor’s side in a commanding position ahead of tonight’s game in Split.
