Linfield are chasing a Euro cash bonanza worth nearly £1m.

But they must first beat HB Torshavn.

The Blues are in the Faroe Islands for the first leg of their second round Europa League qualifier.

Having got to the stage they are already guaranteed more than £700,000.

A win this evening would add a further £233,000 to the coffers – and if they make to the third round – they will face either Apoel Nicosia or Montenegro’s FK Sutjeska.

Speaking to Linfield FC website last night, David Healy said his players were ready.

“The boys are excited – we are looking forward to it – it’ll be a tough game,” he said.

“Players are also aware that it is an opportunity for us to hopefully go out and perform tomorrow night and take a positive result to Belfast next Thursday night.”
