Coach John Stabler is happy to settle for the draw which sees arch rivals Mowden and Darlington drawn together in the first round. Mowden will be desperate to avenge their final defeat of last season.
Horden move up to play with the big boys and are rewarded with a trip to Blaydon. In the junior competition Rovers are away to Ryton.
