Full Time Drogs go on Turkey expedition

Last updated : 22 January 2005 By Barry Landy
The Drogs have put together an exclusively full-time squad at United Park, with seven high-profile acquisitions arriving on Boyneside since the end of last season.

The seven-day trip, which will be spent at the exclusive Papillion Belvil Hotel and Holiday Village in Turkey’s Antalya region, will include two friendly matches.

And manager Paul Doolin feels that the pre-season foreign training trip will be essential to his side’s togetherness in the coming season.

Doolin told the club’s official website: “We have a lot of new faces coming in and I want the lads to get a chance to get to know each other on and off the pitch before the season kicks-off at home.


“While we are in Turkey we will face two sides, one from Poland and one from Turkey, so I will be able to try out some tactics and formations as well whilst we are in Turkey.”
