in the northern section draw Frank which one stood out for you um I'm going to go on a little personal one my my last professional Club reom um drawn away to Sheffield United that's a massive game for them especially in the direction that they're going in at the moment it' be a right test so that' be interesting tie that that looks like a great tie Gary which one I'm only drawn to one tie there obviously Le United at home you know really pleased they got nice home tie there but that's going to be a cracker as well no love lost amongst those two teams both sets of fans don't really go on each other so that'll be a lively game as well but but my little Hometown Club harate the way at Lincoln I'll be looking out for that result and it's such a big incentive isn't it for these clubs to get into round two because then some of the Premier League clubs who aren't participating Europe they enter the draw but also just this right at the start of the season I think it's the the first midweek after the first game it just it's a nice confidence booster if you can win a cup tie and then take it into your league form as well and get a little run in the cup it just boosts the whole dressing room Frank Gary thank you so much for the draw today thank you so much for your time so that concludes the first round draw of the carabal cup ties will be played in the week commencing August the 12th a reminder next season you'll be able to watch every single carabal Cup match live on Sky Sports I'm back for the efl trophy group stage draw at 2:30 this afternoon coming up next on Sky Sports
