Fri 03 Mar 2007Connor relishing the challenge with BohemiansHaving swept a new broom through the club since taking charge last November, Bohemians manager Sean Connor, far from daunted by the challenge of facing one of the title favourites in the opening game of season at Dalymount Park tonight, is relishing the chance to benchmark his side's progress against Drogheda United."It will be a tight game with neither side wanting to give anything away early on," said Connor. "I'm looking forward to it as it will give me an indication in terms of where we are; how far we are off a side like Drogheda, who have been together for two or three seasons."
