THE draw for the last UEFA Intertoto Cup was made in Nyon on Monday with clubs from 50 nations set to compete for eleven berths in the 2008/09 UEFA Cup second qualifying round - one of those teams will be Lisburn Distillery.
The Whites have been drawn against Finnish opposition in TPS Turku and will be at home for the first leg on June 21/22 with the second leg on June 28/29.
If the Whites are successful they will face a team from Denmark in the next round, again at hom
e first, on July 5/6.
The winner of that round will then face the Premier League representative.
"This is the last Intertoto Cup so we will be one of the last teams to compete in it," said Distillery boss Paul Kirk. "We will give the players May off and then get them back in about the second week of June and begin our preparations for the home leg."

Initially the Whites received £20,000 and they also have a sell-on clause if Waterworth is transferred.
