FA Youth Cup Third Round Draw

Last updated : 29 November 2005 By Thetashkentterror
Well if ever there was a case for regionalisation in the FA Youth Cup then this tie, if United can get through the Second Round, certainly strengthens the case for it.

The Blues face a tough game though to have the chance of that Third Round encounter when they face Doncaster Rovers on Wednesday night at Brunton Park in a 7pm kick-off.

Rovers are currently enjoying a useful campaign in the North and East Midlands Conference division, sitting fourth in the table seven points behind leaders Chesterfield having won seven of their ten league games so far.

The youngsters couldn't have asked for more so far after being drawn at home three times in a row and if they can raise their game enough to beat the South Yorkshire outfit they stand a good chance of going a long way in the competition.
