Mansfield Town have drawn Preston at home in the first Round of the Carling Cup.
------------- Keith Curle told mansfieldtown.net that last season's Carling Cup clash with Sunderland - which the Black Cats narrowly won 2-1 - proved Mansfield were capable of giving the big guns a run for their money. Said the Field Mill supremo: "We're at home for a start which is always the first thing you look for in a cup draw and we've also got a big club from the Championship division. "Preston will provide a great early-season test for the lads but it's a challenge I have no doubt we'll rise to. "Last season we played Sunderland at our place in the first round and we have them a very good game indeed so I'll be looking for more of the same against Preston." ------------ full draw: (Ties will be played week beginning 23 August) Lincoln v Derby Sunderland v Chester Darlington v Barnsley Hull v Wrexham Nottingham Forest v Scunthorpe Rochdale v Wolves Bradford v Notts County Bury v Burnley Tranmere v Shrewbury Crewe v Blackpool Mansfield v Preston Sheffield Wednesday v Walsall Sheffield United v Stockport Hartlepool v Macclesfield Doncaster v Port Vale Oldham v Stoke Grimsby v Wigan Rotherham v Chesterfield Leeds v Huddersfield Colchester v Cheltenham Peterborough v Milton Keynes Dons Gillingham v Northampton Brighton v Bristol Rovers Leyton Orient v Bournemouth Wycombe v Bristol City Boston v Luton Watford v Cambridge QPR v Swansea Kidderminster v Cardiff West Ham v Southend Ipswich v Brentford Rushden & Diamonds v Swindon Oxford v Reading Yeovil v Plymouth Coventry v Torquay |
