Conan Byrne has called on his St. Patrick's Athletic teammates to forget about their indifferent Premier Division season by throwing themselves into their two-legged Europa League first qualifying round tie against Jeunesse Esch.
The Luxembourg side travel to Dublin to take on a Saints team that is currently on a three-game losing streak and has struggled for consistency throughout the 2016 campaign to date.
