The big prize
The draw for the Blues against the Hatters means that Carlisle will face a team from their own division, the Puma Youth Alliance North West Conference, in the opening stage of the competition. The match taking place this coming Wednesday night in a 7pm kick-off at Brunton Park.

The two sides have not faced each other yet this season and, due to the bizarre fixturing system in the league, will only play each other once - that being another home match for United at the start of February.

Last season the teams only played each other once in the league as well, that coming on the first day of the campaign on the old training pitch at Brunton Park. County thumping the Cumbrians 4-0 that day with Chris Coward being the main Hatters tormenter as he notched a hat-trick, with James Vincent scoring the other goal.

Fortunately for United though Coward, who signed a professional deal at Edgeley Park in the summer, is just over a month outside the qualifiying age for the competition this season. Centre-half James Tunnicliffe, who, like Coward, is currently on loan at Blue Square Prem1er crisis club Northwich Victoria, also misses out as he was over 18 years old on the 1st of September 2007.

With these two first year professionals now missing from the Stockport youth team ranks the Hatters have struggled a bit in the league this season. County currently sitting fifth bottom with two wins, two draws and six defeats from their eight games played, scoring eleven but conceding an alarming 22 at the rate of over two goals a match.
