| Caersws head east Marek (wearing red) finished in 11th position Intertoto Cup - first round, first leg Marek Dupnitsa (Bulgaria) v Caersws Saturday, 22 June Welsh club Caersws have been drawn against Bulgarian side Marek in the first round of the Intertoto Cup. It is a tough reward for the village side who finished fourth in last season's League of Wales and won the League Cup. Marek are based in the town of Dupnitza, south of the capital Sofia and finished in 11th place in the Bulgarian League. They are currently in top spot in the relegation series of matches and look set to retain their position in the First Division. But the club's biggest moment came in 1978 when they won the Bulgarian Cup. The return leg will played at Aberystwyth's Park Avenue ground on Saturday, 29 June (kick-off 1500 BST). The duo, who won the northern and southern feeder leagues, were told that their facilities do not meet the necessary standards. As a result, both Rhayader and Haverfordwest - last season's two bottom clubs - escaped relegation. But now Welshpool and Ton Pentre have lodged appeals with the FAW, with Bulldogs boss Kevin Richards saying he will consider his future if they are not promoted. | See also: 18 May 02 | League of Wales 15 May 02 | League of Wales Top League of Wales stories now: Links to more League of Wales stories are at the foot of the page. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
