Wood says Shels are unfazed by Conference League tasks

SHELBOURNE ace Harry Wood insists nothing will faze the League of Ireland champions on their European odyssey.

And the onetime Grimsby Town player is already drawing inspiration for the road ahead from the Mariners' shock League Cup win over Manchester United.

Shels have landed a big fish in FA Cup winners Crystal Palace, who they will host in the league phase of the Europa Conference League.

And yesterday's draw in Monaco also pitted Joey O'Brien's men, in further home games, against Kosovan side Drita and Hacken of Sweden.

Shels will be on the road to face Dutch outfit AZ Alkmaar, whose inform striker Troy Parrott - the Ireland international - grew up just a stone's throw from Tolka Park.

The Reds have other away games against Slovenia's Celje and Shkendija of North Macedonia, with UEFA set to confirm the order of matches and dates by tomorrow.
