LAST TIME OUT: Darlington's David Wheater and Hartlepool's Ritchie Barker in 2007
DARLINGTON and Hartlepool United will meet in the Durham Challenge Cup.
The long-time rivals have not met since March 2007, when Pools won 3-0 at The Northern Echo Arena in League Two, but this competition is not a recognised first-team competition.
Quakers played nine first-team players in their 4-0 win over Stockton in midweek. Pools have been playing a predominantly reserve team in the competition as they are operating without a second-string team this season.
The game is due to be played at Blackwell Meadows in the week commencing January 26.
