John Caulfield refocuses Cork City after Euro odyssey

Cork City might be out of Europe for another 12 months and looking forward to Champions League football next summer but despite the hefty costs of away trips to Estonia and Cyprus, the club coffers are ticking over nicely.

Manager John Caulfield and his squad arrived home last night from Cyprus where they bowed out of the Europa League series after another narrow defeat to AEK Larnaca at the AEK Arena but the club remain in a healthy financial state.

City have a week to get the European defeat out of the system now before they resume their league campaign at home to Galway United next weekend.
