Penybont, who qualified for Europe by finishing second in last season's Cymru Premier, face Kauno Zalgiris in Thursday's first qualifying round first leg.
The Bridgend-based club side flew out of London City airport on Tuesday, and on arrival in Vilnius found that their bags had been lost in transit.
The Polish airline, Lot, said in a statement: "Due to adverse weather conditions en-route and weight limitations at London City airport, we made the decision to leave some baggage behind and offload two passengers.
"This decision was made in strict accordance with our highest safety standards.

"The delayed baggage was delivered to the affected passengers yesterday, and those who were unable to board the original flight were properly assisted and rebooked on the next available service."
A spokesperson for the club had confirmed that the luggage lost contained the team's training and playing kit.
"We found out our luggage didn't arrive around half an hour after landing after waiting at the baggage carousel.
"Only six bags made it through for the whole flight. The airline, for some reason, didn't load the luggage onto the plane."
After recieiving the missing belongings in the early hours of matchday, the club's press officer Ryan March said: "Everyone's relieved to get their bags back and we're looking forward to this evening's match."

A post on the club's X account had initially confirmed that their luggage had not arrived but that the new boots had been "broken in".
Rhys Griffiths' side are appearing in the Conference League for the second time having made their debut in the competition in 2023.
The second leg will be played at Cardiff International Sports Stadium on 17 July as their own SDM Glass Stadium does not meet Uefa criteria.
The winners will face Valur from Iceland or Estonian side Flora Tallinn in the second qualifying round.

Whitecaps captain Ryan Gauld doesn't want to rush return from injury
VANCOUVER - Being back on the pitch doing some light training is a step forward for Ryan Gauld, but the Vancouver Whitecaps midfielder isn't rushing his return to playing. The 29-year-old from Aberdeen, Scotland, has been sidelined since March 8 with a knee capsule sprain. He was greeted with cheers from some of his teammates when he stepped on the field for a practice this week. 'It's nice to have the boots back on, be outside,' said Gauld. 'I still got a long ways to go, but it's a step forward.' Gauld was hurt in a March 8 game against CF Montreal. His recovery has been slower than expected and he doesn't want to hurry his return. 'I've got in my head how I hope things go, what it looks like, but there's no point getting too stressed on it,' said the Whitecaps captain who had a career-high 17 goals and led the team with 16 assists in 37 starts and 41 appearances across all competitions last season. 'I've got a timeline in my head but I don't want to get ahead of myself. I've got to make sure I come back at 100 per cent and don't suffer any more setbacks.' Two players who will be in the lineup Saturday when the Whitecaps visit the Colorado Rapids in a Major League Soccer match are midfielder Sebastain Berhalter and forward Brian White. The two MLS all-stars had been playing with the United States at the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup. 'It's great just seeing the guys again and being back in this environment,' said Berhalter. 'I realized how much I love playing with these guys.' The Whitecaps (11-4-5) and Rapids (7-10-5) are both looking to shake themselves out of a losing skid. The Whitecaps head into the weekend second in the MLS Western Conference with 38 points but are 2-3-1 in their last five league games. Vancouver needed a goal in the 90th minute Wednesday night to beat Winnipeg-based Canadian Premier League side Valour 2-1 to win their Telus Canadian Championship quarterfinal. Colorado sits 10th in the West, tied with two other teams with 26 points. The Rapids are 1-5-1 in the last seven games and have been held scoreless four times in that stretch. Whitecaps head coach Jesper Sorensen said playing at altitude and expected heat will be a challenge for his team. 'The conditions will be a little different than we are used to,' he said. 'Colorado is a good team, they have some good players that can change the game on their own. 'We have to be ready for whatever faces us.' The Whitecaps play their next three games on the road. After Saturday they travel to Houston on Wednesday, then San Diego July 19. 'It's a tough stretch of away games against good teams,' said White. 'Everyone is going to be locked in, switched on. Hopefully you can come away with as many points as possible.' Sorensen said having Berhalter and White back in the lineup will make a difference for team chemistry. 'It's been a little bit frustrating because we haven't had them the entire time,' he said. As for when Gauld might return, Sorensen urged patience. 'It's not important for me when he's back, it's important for me how he's back,' he said. 'It's very important he has gained the strength he needs to play. It very important that he comes back strong.' White said it was good to see his friend practising. 'It's been difficult not being able to have him out here,' said White, who leads the Whitecaps with 15 goals in all competitions. 'You miss a player like Ryan, his quality, the leadership, what he can bring to the team.' —- VANCOUVER WHITECAPS (11-4-5) at COLORADO RAPIDS (7-10-5) Dick's Sporting Goods Park, Saturday, 6:30 p.m. PDT SHARING THE LOAD: With the winning goal in Wednesday's Canadian Championship game against Valour, Bjorn Inge Utvik became the 19th Whitecap to score across all competitions this season. LENDING A HAND: Defender Ranko Veselinovic became the 17th Whitecap to earn an assist this season on Wednesday. OFF THE PITCH: Forward Jayden Nelson will miss the game after receiving a second yellow card in stoppage time for kicking the ball into the stands in frustration during Vancouver's 3-0 loss to the L.A. Galaxy July 4. SICK BAY: Midfielder Ali Ahmed (sprained ankle) expected return to play in six to eight weeks. Midfielder Andrés Cubas (sprained ankle) expected to return in one to two weeks. Defender Giuseppe Bovalina (illness) day-to-day LAST MEETING: The Whitecaps defeated the Rapids 2-0 at BC Place Stadium April 5. GOALS AGAINST: The 22 goals Vancouver has allowed in MLS play is tied for second least in the league and best in the Western Conference. Philadelphia has allowed 21 goals while New York City has also given up 22. NEED A STOP: The Whitecaps have been outscored 10-4 over their last three MLS losses. This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 11, 2025.

Leipzig signs Bakayoko, Maksimović and Diomande in triple-transfer blitz
LEIPZIG, Germany (AP) — Three in one day. Leipzig has delivered a statement of intent for the new Bundesliga season by signing Belgium winger Johan Bakayoko, Serbia midfielder Andrija Maksimović, and Ivory Coast youth international Yan Diomande all on the same day. The 22-year-old Bakayoko's arrival from PSV Eindhoven was the last of the three announced by Leipzig on Wednesday, following that of the 18-year-old Maksimović from Red Star Belgrade and Diomande, also 18, from Spanish second-division team Leganés. All three players signed deals through June 2030, the Bundesliga club said. Bakayoko, who had also been a target for Bayer Leverkusen, will wear the number 9 at Leipzig. 'We have had Johan Bakayoko on our radar for a couple of years now and have tried to sign him time and again,' Leipzig sporting director Marcel Schäfer said. 'We're even happier that he's chosen to join Leipzig despite many teams vying for his signature.' Bakayoko helped PSV to back-to-back Dutch league titles with nine goals in 30 league appearances last season, and 12 in 33 the season before. 'With his power, explosiveness, pace and eye for goal, he'll improve our play down the right wing and has his strengths both on and off the ball,' Schäfer said. Maksimović made his professional debut aged 16 in Serbia, then Champions League debut and Serbia debut a year later. He has already played eight games for the national team. 'We've followed his progress closely during his first season at senior level and are convinced he's already ready to take the next step,' Schäfer said of Maksimović. Diomande spent just one season at Leganés after moving from Florida-based club AS Frenzi. He made his league debut against Real Madrid and scored two goals in 10 La Liga appearances for Leganés, which was relegated at the end of the season. 'He's a left winger with outstanding pace, strong dribbling, athleticism and a real eye for goal. On top of that, he never gives up on a ball and plays with great team spirit. With these qualities, he fits perfectly into the type of football we want to play this season,' Schäfer said. Leipzig missed out on European qualification last season and will be targeting a top-4 finish in the Bundesliga to reach the lucrative Champions League. Yussuf Poulsen, who joined Leipzig when it was still in Germany's third division in 2013, has left for promoted Hamburger SV. Other players, including Benjamin Šeško and Loïs Openda, are also candidates to leave. Leipzig was founded in 2009 when energy drinks manufacturer Red Bull bought and rebranded fifth-tier club SSV Markranstädt and financed its rise through the lower divisions. ___ AP soccer:

Bachelorette parties can now cost thousands to attend. Here's how to keep the madness in check
When one of Aleah Balas's closest friends decided to go big for her bachelorette party, Balas was ready to go all in for the celebrations. The 27-year-old communications consultant and Toronto resident ended up spending more than $1,000 on a four-day trip to Niagara-on-the-Lake. She chipped in for the cost of the Airbnb, a winery tour, a private shuttle and a dinner made by a private chef. She also bought a new outfit for the tour. 'It does add up really quick,' Balas says, adding that she has zero regrets about spending the money for such a good friend. 'I would have done it if I had to travel across the world and spend a lot more.' Attending a wedding usually means buying a gift for the couple and perhaps a new outfit. These days, however, guests of bachelorette parties are emptying their wallets before the main event, with costs including hotel stays, flights and private tours. A 2023 study from The Knot Worldwide , a global tech company that provides products, services and content for celebration planning, found people spend an average of $1,300 (U.S.) on bachelorette parties, including food, lodging and activities. Shannon Lee Simmons, a Toronto-based certified financial planner and author of 'Making Bank: Money Skills for Real Life,' says social media is the main reason that bachelorette costs have risen so much over the past 20 years. Before Facebook and Instagram, couples kept their photos at home in wedding albums, to be shared mainly with family and close friends. 'Social media has really put us on display,' she says. 'We're hyper aware of what other people are doing for their bachelor and bachelorette parties in a way that we just weren't before.' There's also a herd mentality when it comes to pre-wedding celebrations within friend groups. 'You have these bridesmaids or groomsmen who want to make it special and they're competing against the expectations that have been set by the general group,' Simmons says. 'You're willing to make these extravagant plans to show your love. The emotional stakes are really high.' Planning well in advance, setting and sticking to a budget, and knowing where to draw the line are key to avoiding overspending and going into debt when celebrating a friend's big day. A public service announcement to anyone getting married: Let your wedding party know about bachelorette party plans as soon as possible so that your guests have plenty of time to save. 'The more time you have, the less you have to sacrifice on a month-to-month basis,' Simmons says. For her sister's five-day bachelorette getaway to Disneyland in California, Vancouver resident and money coach Parween Mander had six months to plan. She says it's key for party planners to lay out clear expectations from the beginning of where the trip will be and how much it will cost. Are you a Gen Z or Millennial (18 to 44) living in the Toronto area who needs help with a financial challenge or goal? Do you have questions and want some free advice from a financial adviser? Email Lora Grady at lgrady@ and you could be featured in an upcoming story. Include bridal party members in the early planning process — especially those struggling with their finances. 'If you can get in there as early as possible, get the key details, or be able to contribute ideas that might be a little bit more affordable, you can try to support the outcome,' Mander says. Desjardins financial planner Angela Iermieri says it's a good idea to start setting money aside as soon as you get a save-the-date notice. If you put aside $50 a week for six months, you'll have saved about $1,200. 'Always plan in advance for your projects and avoid credit,' Iermieri says. Mander saved up for the bachelorette trip by dividing the estimated cost by the number of months remaining, and decided to contribute around $300 a month to a savings account she uses solely for travel expenses. When discussing costs and finances with bachelorette guests, check in with them individually over the phone before announcing plans in the group chat. 'The group chat is a stress point that can be avoided with one calm conversation on the phone,' Simmons says. 'When it comes to money, surprise is terrible.' If you want to be part of the celebrations but you're worried about costs, Simmons suggests talking to other guests about potential hacks. 'You're probably not the only person panicking,' Simmons says. One of her clients who couldn't afford a pricey hotel decided to stay in a more affordable hotel down the street with two other bachelorette attendees. 'It saved them $1,000 and they had just as much fun.' Mander spent a total of $2,867.55 on her sister's bachelorette getaway. She had to pay $660 to rebook a return flight after the original flight was cancelled due to an airline strike. Luckily, she had some buffer room in her budget. 'I try to put an additional $500 to $1,000 in my savings account just in case,' she says. Iermieri says there will always be unexpected last-minute expenses when it comes to bachelorette celebrations. 'It could be a cab ride or a meal, or a need to replace something,' she says. Those extras are usually the reason for going over budget. Iermieri recommends saving an additional 10 to 20 per cent on top of the set costs for unexpected purchases. Balas is planning to attend a wedding in the south of France in August, and had to turn down an invitation to the bachelorette party in London, England. 'I just couldn't make it work,' she says. Luckily, her friends were understanding. 'It was actually a very easy conversation.' People should feel comfortable saying no without blame or guilt, Simmons says. 'At the end of the day, the shared goal is that everyone wants to be together and celebrate this person. I think that person, at the end of day, wouldn't want it to be a stressful situation.'
