The draw for the Manchester Premier Cup first round has been made.
Cup holders Ashton United will begin their title defence against ear neighbours Curzon Ashton at Hurst Cross.
Hyde United, beaten in the final last season, will make the journey to Trafford, whilst Stalybridge Celtic host FC United of Manchester.
Mossley are also on the road and make the journey to Radcliffe.
Across the border, Avro, who were beaten in the semi-final last season, host Chadderton at the Vestacare Stadium, whilst Glossop North End have also been handed a home tie against West Didsbury & Chorlton.
Elsewhere, Maine Road entertain Irlam, and Bury travel to Wythenshawe Town.
The ties will take place on various dates in October.
While United’s trip to Elland Road went better than many expected, it wasn’t quite the emphatic response Michael Carrick would have been hoping for after a tumultuous week.
There is no denying that Manchester City have made a pretty special start to life under Enzo Maresca, with Saturday’s victory over Ipswich Town taking us to seven wins from seven in the Premier League and putting the Italian into the history books.
