County look forward to local derby

Gary Brazil (l): Confident that County can progress

Mansfield and Notts County are looking forward to a hotly contested Nottinghamshire derby after being pitted against each other in the first round of the Worthington Cup.

County assistant manager Gary Brazil is not expecting an easy ride, even though Third Division Mansfield play their football one league below his side.

"I think it is a tough draw but a good one for the fans," Brazil said. "We have got to be confident that we can get there but the last thing we want to do is not give Mansfield the utmost respect.

"Obviously we would have liked a home draw, but I'm quite looking forward to this one."
