Derby County’s Under-21s will make the short trip to face Heanor Town in the Third Round of the Derbyshire Senior Cup.
The tie will be played at the Town Ground on Wednesday 18th December (7:45pm kick-off).
The Under-21s have reached the latter stages of the competition in each of the last two seasons.
Last term under Jake Buxton, they reached the quarter-finals before a penalty shoot-out defeat to Buxton, which followed a narrow loss in the final to the same opposition in 2022/23.
The tie adds a fifth competition to the Under-21s’ schedule for 2024/25, alongside Premier League 2, the Premier League Cup, the Central League and the National League Cup.
