Bohemians have progressed in Europe after a 0-0 draw with St Joseph's in Gibraltar on Thursday evening.

By winning week's first leg at Dalymount 2-0, Bohs did enough to progress to the Conference League second qualifying round.

They will face Kosovo's Ballkani over two legs on July 23rd and July 30th.

Meanwhile, Derry City were unable to turn their tie against CSKA Sofia around in the Europa League qualifiers.

Trailing 3-2 from last week's first leg in Bulgaria, they lost 2-1 yesterday at the Brandywell to lose 5-3 on aggregate.

There was a 15 minute delay to the game after Ellis Chapman's goal for Derry last night, as Bulgarian supporters clashed with home fans.

Derry drop into the Conference League qualifiers, and they will play Rijeka of Croatia next week.
