COUNTY have once again been invited to take part in the prestigious Manchester Senior Cup.

The five competing teams from last season have been joined by Bolton Wanderers - who missed last year through European commitments - to form a six-team round-robin competition.

County will play at home against Manchester United, Bury and Bolton. Their two away games will be at Manchester City and Oldham Athletic.

The away game against City will take place at the Regional Athletics stadium (next to the City of Manchester stadium) on Tuesday, November 28 (7pm).

Dates for the other fixtures will be released as soon as they are available.

The Hatters have won the famous old trophy on four occasions, in 1898, 1899, 1915 and 1923.

Meanwhile, County will travel to either Nantwich Town or Congleton Town in the Cheshire Senior Cup first round. The game will take place during the week commencing September 11.
