Bohs and Sligo receive Icelandic Euro dates, while Dundalk will take on Welsh side Newtown

FH played Dundalk in 2016 – with the Lilywhites running out dramatic winners on their way to the Europa League Group Stages.

Starjnan also played Shamrock Rovers in recent times – and they fell to defeat against the Hoops in 2017.

Rovers won that tie 2-0 on aggregate with Gary Shaw setting the Hoops on their with a 1-0 win away from home.

Graham Burke also netted in the second-leg at Tallaght Stadium to see them home.

Meanwhile, Dundalk will take on Welsh side Newtown in their Europa Conference League tie.

The Lilywhites will be looking to put their poor domestic form behind them when they welcome the Welsh side to Oriel Park in their first-leg clash.

The ties are due to take place on July 8th and July 15th next month.
