John Caulfield expects Dundalk to put faith in old reliables

Cork City boss John Caulfield expects rivals Dundalk to restore faith in their old reliables as the champions face a trip to Oriel Park on Friday night (8pm, live on eirSport2).

The Lilywhites have undergone change on and off the pitch since last season. Investment group Peak6 have taken control of the club and have helped manager Stephen Kenny to draft in players from Hungary, Lithuania, and Norway.

With the weather putting paid to last weekend’s League of Ireland fixture programme, Dundalk opted to play a challenge match against Irish League side Warrenpoint on Sunday, winning 4-0 with the goals coming from four new signings in Karolis Chvedukas, Krisztián Adorján, Sam Byrne, and Marco Tagbajumi.
