Gary Rogers set for another Euro outing
Bohermeen man Gary Rogers will be heading off on antoher European adventure over the next few weeks after he helped Dundalk into the third qualifying round of the Champions League tonight in Iceland.
Dundalk played out a 2-2 draw with FH Hafnarfjordu and progressed on the away goals rule after the tie ended 3-3 on aggregate.
Dundalk will now face their 'good friends' from Belarus BATE Borosov over two legs with the first leg next week.
REPORT
David McMillan's double sent Dundalk into the third qualifying round. McMillan's 50th-minute first, from long range, came soon after FH's Gunnar Nielsen had saved Ronan Finn's penalty.
FH, who took the lead through Sam Hewson in the 19th minute, equalised when substitute Kristján Floki Finnbogason ran on to former Dundalk forward Steven Lennon's through ball and beat Gary Rogers from a tight angle in the 73rd minute.
