Linfield to wear "special one-off" away kit for European clash with Borac Banja Luka

Linfield have announced they will wear a "special one-off" away kit for their UEFA European Conference League second leg tie with Bosnian side Borac Banja Luka on Thursday night.

Home side Borac Banja Luka play in blue so Linfield decided a specially commissioned white kit will be worn.

Fans have been showing their love for the shirt on twitter with one saying: "Might be a one off but that's a cracking shirt."

One supporter, @Nathan_1905, tweeted: "Can we not have that as the away top this year"

Supporters will be disappointed to hear the club has stressed that it is not the away kit for the season and it can not be purchased.

The Blues cruised 4-0 past Borac Banja Luka last week at Windsor Park and David Healy will be hoping his side can keep their lead to progress to the next round.

Striker Christy Manzinga who netted in last weeks first-leg tie, believes the hard work put in during pre-season is starting to reap rewards.

And he says scoring goals and contributing to the team only serves as added motivation.

"You work hard every single session, and when you play and score goals then you start believing that the work is paying off," he told Linfield TV.

"It is exciting and gives me motivation to do more.

"I just have to stay focused, but we have a big game next week and we want to get a result to make sure we progress."

Linfield arrived in Bosnia yesterday from a chartered flight.
