The draw for the first round of this years Johnstone's Paints Trophy has just been made on this mornings SoccerAM show on Sky Sports HD2.  The Silkmen will play Morecambe at the Moss Rose.

So this game will see the return of Sammy McIlroy.  The game will be played on Tuesday 31st August with the kick off to be decided.  I think with the JPT it will be a 7pm kick off.

The NorthWest draw is as follows:

Oldham Athletic v Shrewsbury Town

Macclesfield Town v Morecamber

Port Vale v Rochdale

Tranmere Rovers v Accrington Stanley
