TONIGHT'S the big night for the Lakesiders!

Bala Town have a mountain to climb if they are to make progress in the UEFA Europa League.

But, team boss Colin Caton remains confident that the Lakesiders can reach the next round.

Bala trail San Marino's Tre Fiori 3-0 after their preliminary round first leg encounter at Stadio Tullo Morgagni last Thursday.

An early Anthony Miley own goal, plus first half strikes from Giacomo Pracucci and Mirco Vassalo, mean that Bala have it all to do in the second leg, which will be played at Rhyl FC's Corbett Sports Stadium tonight (6.30pm).

"It was just the horrific mistakes in the first 10 minutes cost us massively," admitted Caton.

"The third one was a massive deflection that wrong-footed Ashley (Morris) in goal."

Despite the eventual outcome, Caton was quick to add: "As a whole, there were so many plusses for us to take.

"All the lads are eager to get going again."
