Troon PA coach Vince Krawczyk wants his team to use this week's European Challenge Cup match with Universidad de Burgos to prepare them for domestic challenges ahead.

Krawczyk knows his team have little chance of progressing to the next stage after losing the first leg heavily in Spain.

But he hopes to gain something from the second leg at the Citadel in Ayr.

"Clubs I have been involved with in the last 20 years have always finished in the top two in Scotland and a lot of that is down to playing in Europe," Krawczyk said.

"I'm not saying it's the only factor but there is so much experience to gain from these matches that it is a major influence on our season."
