Johnstone's Paint Trophy Draw Details

JPT

As was the case with the Round One draw, the second stage one will also be spilt into secondary regions to North and South, Carlisle once more in the North-West side of things, which on paper looks much easier than the North-East. The Blues will need to make the most of that though as after this round, should United win through, the West and East regions are ended as we "go global" in the North.

The 16 clubs that were awarded a bye in the first round now join the rest of us in the competition, those bye teams being in the North - Grimsby Town, Hartlepool United, Leeds United, Macclesfield Town, Notts County, Port Vale, Shrewsbury Town and Tranmere Rovers, and in the South - Aldershot Town, Brighton & Hove Albion, Charlton Athletic, Exeter City, Leyton Orient, Southampton, Southend United and Swindon Town.
