Dundalk to learn their European fate before taking on Galway

The 11am draw at Uefa headquarters in Nyon this morning will reveal to Dundalk whether they will be travelling to Nicosia, Pilsen, Warsaw, Salzburg or Glasgow to contest the away leg of their Champions League play-off game.

But, before they head for foreign fields again, the only marginally less exotic destination of Galway awaits this evening as the heroes from Tallaght on Tuesday night turn their attention back to the Premier Division of the SSE Airtricity League.

Six points clear of Cork City having played one game more, Dundalk will be keen to show that their headline-grabbing exploits in Europe have not distracted them from the task of defending their domestic title, even if Tuesday’s stunning 3-0 victory over BATE Borisov did take its toll on the players.
