Scunthorpe United will begin their second defence of the Lincolnshire Senior Cup by hosting Grimsby Town in the quarter finals of the competition.
The Iron and the Mariners have both received a bye to this stage of the competition for the second successive campaign, with the fixture seeing the two sides meet at the same stage last season.
Last season, United won the accolade for the 23rd time, beating the Mariners, receiving a bye against Spalding United, before beating Cleethorpes Town in the final, coming from 2-0 down to win 5-3.
United overhauled Town at Bottesford Town's Barrett Steel Stadium last season, coming from 1-0 down to win 3-1, with Carlton Ubaezuonu (two) and Luke Williams netting.
As soon as there are details regarding the fixture, we will announce.
