And with last year's hot-tempered match with fellow Lithuanians FK Atlantas FK Atlantas is a Lithuanian football team from the port city of Klaipėda. The team plays in the Lithuanian Premier division A Lyga. The club's name has changed several times. It was established in 1962 as Granitas, and became PSK Aras in 1993. in mind, the 18-strong squad are being urged to keep as cool as possible by boss John Hulse John Hulse (1708 - 1790) was an English theologian. He is now known mainly as the founder of the series of Hulsean Lectures at the University of Cambridge. He was born at Middlewich, in Cheshire, as the eldest of a family of nineteen. . Rhyl go into the game with confidence after holding the full-timers to a goal-less draw at Belle Vue Belle Vue may refer to:
Suduva, 20 games into a 36-game season, are currently fifth, and come in on the back of a 3-1 win against Atlantas. But the whispered talk among the Rhyl squad is less of whether they score - but of how many. With the whole Rhyl squad holding down day jobs, the opportunity for them all to spend several days in each others' company is rare. The chance for players to bond over a casino table or playing games to pass the long journey is visibly helping team spirit. After Rhyl's third tie in the Baltics in three years, defender James Brewerton joked with others he might consider buying a house in the area to save on travel. Just pity the poor player - who shall remain anonymous - who struggled in one quiz, and failed to name a football club beginning with E. No such problems, however, for Chris Sharp, the livewire 20-year-old striker tipped for great things by fans. A Merseyside club beginning with E is fairly close to his heart - and especially that of dad Graeme, the former Goodison hero. Chris makes his first European trip to Lithuania after missing one chance to put Rhyl ahead in the first leg. The second-youngest member of the squad out here, he is naturally the subject of some ribbing from his elders. Chris, who works for David McLean builders, said: "I am a different player to my dad. I'm faster than he is. "He was renowned for holding the ball up - I'm sure he could hold it up for three minutes "Three Minutes" is the 46th episode of Lost.

"People will make comparisons, I know. But I don't feel any real pressure and don't really take notice of people say anything. "He has been very good with me and just tells me to do my own thing and enjoy it. If I'm good enough, people will notice." Rhyl will be hoping for an easier passage to the next round than in July last year, when tempers flared after an end-to-end game 200 miles away in Klaipeda. Then-Rhyl goalkeeper Ged McGuigan was punched repeatedly by opposition manager Vacys Lekevicius at the final whistle and other Rhyl players were kicked in chaotic scenes. Hulse said his young side must keep their heads. He said: "Atlantas overall had two or three good individual players, but collectively, Suduva are a lot better disciplined. "But I know, whatever comes at the lads they are more than ready to deal with it. They are experienced and sensible. "The attitude, discipline and commitment of our side are second to none. We are a part-time team with a full-time mentality." Hulse emphasised the importance of set-pieces ahead of the game, although practice on set-plays was reduced in Marijampole last night as opposition coaches gathered on the touchline Touchline The highest bid and lowest ask at market for a particular security during a given time in the trading day.

Hulse, who picked youngster Connall Murtagh as the man to make the difference, said: "We know we can score. And the earlier the better if it is going to be hot."
