Albion have drawn second division Millwall in a cup competition for the third year running.

The Seagulls have played the Londoners in the Auto Windscreens Shield for the past two seasons and yesterday they were paired in the Worthington Cup.

The first leg will be at Withdean in the week commencing August 21 with the return at the New Den a fortnight later.
