Cork City boss John Caulfield expects ‘tricky’ Euro test from Reykjavik

Although delighted that the club are back in Europe for the first time since 2008, Cork City boss John Caulfield admits to mixed feelings about drawing Iceland’s KR Reykjavik in the Europa League.

“Being honest, I was hoping to get someone out of season but they’re in season like ourselves and are currently fifth in their league,” says Caulfield.

“It’s a difficult draw and a tricky draw but I think it will be a close tie and gives us a chance to progress. And with Cork being back in Europe after seven years, there’s a lot of excitement and anticipation about the games.”
