Carlisle United will tonight aim to set up a Fred Conway Cumberland Cup derby against Carlisle City.
The Blues are set for first round action against Workington Juniors this evening.
Should United progress, they will be at home to Dan Kirkup's City in the second round.
United are expected to field a young side against their west Cumbrian opponents, with the Blues XI set mainly to be comprised of Mark Birch's youth team players.
Wednesday night we take on last seasons finalists @officialcufc which will be a massive test for us as we have only been going as a team for 10 games and our first experience of the county cup but it will be a great experience for the lads and I’m sure they will give 100% pic.twitter.com/OVHoakTjAH
