Baggies draw Cambridge in League Cup

19 June 2001

The Worthington Cup first round draw has handed West Brom a taxing trip to face Cambridge at the Abbey Stadium.

For the first time, first round games will be played as a one-off tie instead of the two-legged affairs of previous seasons.

Cambridge, who narrowly avoided relegation from Division Two last season, will host the Baggies in the week commencing August 20.

Albion last faced Cambridge four years ago - in the same round of the same competition - and managed to beat them despite playing like a bunch of donkeys in bith legs. Read the match reports linked below for a gruesome couple of reminders!
