Cup Draw Tonight

11 August 2011 17:45
Sheffield United will tonight discover who they face in the second round of the Carling Cup after their penalty shoot-out success at Hartlepool United last Tuesday night. United were forced into extra time when Peter Sweeney netted with ten minutes remaining, cancelling out Stephen Quinn’s first half striker. After 120 minutes had passed the game remained 1-1 with penalties prevailing – United winning 4-3 in sudden death. It was exactly twelve months to this day that the Blades were dumped out of the same competition last season at Hartlepool (0-2). The draw will take place following tonight’s lived televised fixture between Sheffield Wednesday and Blackpool in S6, leaving the Blades the possibility of playing the old enemy or one of the winners from the first round.
