Darlington's pre-season friendly at home to Leeds United has been cancelled.

Quakers were due to host Leeds for a pre-season friendly on Tuesday, July 21, but it has been axed due to the sides being paired in today's Carling Cup draw.

Leeds will visit The Northern Echo Darlington Arena in the first round of the League Cup on August 10.

Cancelling the friendly means Quakers will not host Leeds in pre-season for the first time since 2003.

As the sides also met at the Arena in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy in 2007, it means Leeds' trip to Quakers will be their seventh in six years.
