Carlisle United have been handed a trip to Barnsley in the second round of the FA Youth Cup.

A trip to Oakwell is next for Mark Birch's under-18 side after their 4-1 victory at Altrincham in the first round.

The game in south Yorkshire will see United face the Tykes for the second consecutive season, after Barnsley knocked Carlisle out in the first round at Brunton Park in 2023/24.

The game also has poignancy for both clubs who have close connections with the late, legendary Carlisle youth coach David Wilkes, who was born in Barnsley and played for the Tykes.

United progressed to the second round for the first time since 2020 when coming from behind at Altrincham on Thursday night.

An injury-time goal from Freddie O'Donoghue took the game into extra-time, before the young Blues pulled clear of their National League hosts with strikes from Louis Lambert, Dan Hopper and Simon Rigby.

Barnsley, meanwhile, defeated Oldham Athletic 6-0 in their first round tie.

They won 5-1 at Brunton Park in the first round of last season's competition.

Carlisle will be hoping to progress to the third round, where there will be the chance of drawing Premier League opposition.

They last reached that stage in 2020 when they were eventually knocked out by Blackburn Rovers.

This season's second round tie must be played by Saturday, November 23 unless mutually arranged otherwise.
