Lisburn Distillery will not train at the venue of their Europa League second leg match against FC Zestafoni because of the long journey involved.

Jimmy Brown's players are staying in the Georgian capital Tbilisi which is 150 kilometres away from Zestafoni.

"There are no hotels in Zestafoni and I am not prepared to take the players on such a long trip for an hour's training on the pitch," said Brown.

Zestafoni lead 5-1 from the first leg of the first qualifying round match.

Brown accepts his side are out of contention.

"We conceded two early goals in the first leg and that was the end of the show as far as we were concerned," he added.

"I think we gave them too much respect and stayed off instead of getting into them and pressuring the ball. We let them have the ball too much and it cost us."
