YORK CITY will kick-off life back in the Football League with a derby trip to Doncaster Rovers in the newly-sponsored League Cup.

The Minstermen, promoted from the BlueSquare Premier courtesy of a play-off final triumph over Luton Town, travel to the Keepmoat Stadium as Hull City were handed an all-Yorkshire first round clash at home to Rotherham United.

Keith Hill was another happy with the draw for the Capital One Cup after his Barnsley side were drawn away at Rochdale, the club he led to promotion from League Two in 2010.
