Heary urges Shels to stay home

Shelbourne captain Owen Heary has urged the Irish club to play next week’s mouth-watering clash with Deportivo La Coruna at Tolka Park.

The Dubliners are still in a state of shock after booking a place in the Champions League third qualifying round with two late goals against Hajduk Split last night – the first time any Irish side has battled through two rounds of Europe’s premier competition.
