Rovers could face Juventus
Friday, 16 July 2010 14:22

Shamrock Rovers can look forward to a third round tie with Juventus in the Europa League if they beat Bnei Yehuda in Israel next week in the second leg of their second qualifying round encounter.

Sporting Fingal could face Finnish or Welsh opposition if they can see off Maritimo next Thursday at Dalymount Park and if Dundalk were to turn around a 6-0 deficit against Levski Sofia they would meet FK Jablonec 97.

In the Champions League qualifiers Bohemians will face Anderlecht if they draw or win against TNS in Wales next Tuesday.

Robert Bayly scored in injury time equaliser for Rovers to secure a precious 1-1 draw against Bnei Yehuda at Tallaght.  The reward of a positive result in Israel next week is a meeting with Italian giants Juventus.

On their European debut Sporting Fingal lost 3-2 on the night after taking a 1-0 lead through Glen Crowe.  But injury to Colin Hawkins culminated in a late surge by Maritimo, but Liam Buckley's side have the advantage of two away goals to take into the second leg next Thursday.  If Fingal progress to the third qualifying round they will play FC Honka Espoo of Finland or Bangor City of Wales.  Dundalk were beaten 6-0 by Levski Sofia in Bulgaria.

Killian Brennan scored the only goal in Bohemians win over TNS in the Champions League at Dalymount Park on Tuesday night.
