Rams to take on Burton Albion in the annual final of the Bass Charity Vase.
Derby County will take on Burton Albion in the final of the Bass Charity Vase next month.
It has been confirmed that the Rams will take on the Brewers at the Pirelli Stadium on Tuesday 13th August 2013 (7:45pm).
Derby - who were the first-ever winners of the Bass Charity Vase in 1890 – were on the losing side when they last competed in the annual final of the competition in July 2011, going down 2-1.
Bass Charity Vase President Dave Mellor said: "I am extremely grateful to Ben Robinson and Nigel Clough for agreeing to the match and of course both Burton Albion and Derby County for taking part in this year’s competition.
"We are indebted to both clubs for their terrific support of the charity and hope for a successful and entertaining evening at the Pirelli Stadium on 13th August."

The Bass Charity Vase was founded in Burton-on-Trent in 1889 as a football competition to be competed for annually by major teams, particularly Football League clubs.
The proceeds from the games would be donated mainly to medical-related and hospital charities. Its Patrons were Lord Burton and Hamar Alfred Bass who presented a magnificent inscribed silver Rose Bowl (reputed to be one of the most valuable trophies in British football) to be held by the competition winners.
Many famous clubs and players have taken part since the competition started in 1889. Innovation has been a key to its continuing success: even during the difficult times of the two World Wars, the competition took place. Coalville Munitions Girls won during the Great War and a Royal Artillery team was successful during the 2nd World War.
Other past winners include Aston Villa, Birmingham City, Coventry City, Derby County, Leicester City, Liverpool, Notts County, Nottingham Forest, Stoke City and West Bromwich Albion.
1989 saw Bass Charity Vase celebrate its Centenary, when with extra efforts and additional events over £25,000 was donated to charities. Some of these other ventures remain to supplement the current football matches' contributions.
