THE New Saints will play Lithuanian side Suduva in the first round qualifying round of the UEFA Cup, following the draw in Geneva this lunchtime.
TNS will play the first leg away, with the venue for the return leg still to be decided.

The first-round ties will be decided over two legs, with the first scheduled for Thursday, July 17 and the return leg on Thursday, July 31.

FK Suduva play in a 4,000-capacity stadium in the city of Marijampole, tucked away in the south-western corner of the former Soviet republic, just 38km from the border with Poland.

It is the seventh city of Lithuania, formerly known as Kapuskas.

In 2002-2003 Suduva beat FK Brann of Norway 6-4 over two legs before losing 10-1 on aggregate to eventual finalists Celtic.

And last year Rhyl drew 0-0 with the Lithuanian side, before losing 2-1 in the away game.

Bangor City, who finished third in the Principality Welsh Premier League, will play Danish side Midtjylland.

Manchester City, who the Saints drew in the same competition a few years ago, will play EB/Streymur of the Faroe Islands.

Northern Ireland's Glentoran have been drawn against SK Metalurgs and Cliftonville will play Danish side FC Copenhagen. Republic of Ireland's Cork City face Haka and St Patricks play Olimps.

For reaction to the draw, see this Friday's County Times.
