FIERCE football rivals Hartlepool United and Darlington will meet for the first time in more than two years after the teams were paired together in the draw for the first round of the Carling Cup.
Pool were promoted to League One in 2003 and the teams have not met since a 2-2 draw at Feethams that year. The game will take place at Pool's Victoria Park on Tuesday, August 23.
