Barnet must travel to Brighton & Hove Albion for the second successive season.

The Bees were paired with the Seagulls in this morning's Carling Cup draw.

The first-round tie is due to be played in the week beginning August 11.

Barnet travelled to the Withdean Stadium last season for a JP Trophy match, the Bees losing 2-1 on that occasion.

However, manager Paul Fairclough said his side had every chance of progressing this time.
